Exercising one month post op

[jccanada 314]

I had my RNY on 4/20/16. Until the past 5 days or so I haven't been excessively active. The weight loss slowed way down so I decided it was time to get off my rump, even if that meant I wasn't giving my husband my undecided attention as soon as I got off from work, like he expects.

So, tonight I walked about a mile and a half and ran (if that's what one should want to call that) for about 100 yards. I think I may have seen the pearly gates, bright lights, and my calling in my near future as I though I was going to die!

I may or may not have felt like a beached whale with no blow hole when I got back to my house.

Uuuugh! Why on earth would anyone one ever let themselves get like this!?

@@jccanada ???? That made me laugh. Good for you for trying!

I was instructed not to run until 2 months post-op and I'm a runner. Was running right up until the week before my surgery. So if you aren't a runner or accustomed to running, you definitely shouldn't be pushing it so soon post-op.

Well I'm sure... that what I did.. wouldn't be considered running lol

good for you moving! I walk in the morning, really gets my day going.

but you know, giving your husband some undivided attention can qualify as good exercise too.

Haha, not while he Snacks and watches tv!

Good for you!! Although I like the physical benefits of exercise, I really need it more for the mental release. It's my time...no kids, no housework, no job, just me and my sweaty self

[jccanada 314]

I wished I had more time to be like that.

I know. I am pretty sure my husband has the same dilemma. potato chips/wife. potato chips/wife.

sometimes he makes the right choice and sometimes he's in the dog house!

[jccanada 314]

He just wants me right there beside him while he does it! That's my problem. If I'm not right there...he isn't happy. Which leaves little time for me to do what I need to do.

you could do yoga while he Snacks. would that be better? or does he need you to not do anything else but sit there?

[jccanada 314]

Me and yoga... I've never tried. Mostly because this fat girl can't touch the ground lol.
