What to do while in a boot?



Recommended Posts

So, I was getting in a good groove - Pilates Sunday, personal trainer Monday, walking or bike Tuesday-Thursday, and some sort of just walking around Saturday. But I fell on Thursday and broke a toe (maybe 2) on my left foot and exacerbated and old stress fracture and likely tore something on my right foot. I'm in a boot on my right and have to wear Tevas on my left to allow for the taping and swelling on the broken toe. So, none of my current exercise routine works for me for about a month. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can do? I don't know that I really need it to be good exercise. I more just want something to keep me doing something so that I am still in the habit when I'm cleared to exercise again.

Thanks!

Ask for PT. They'll set you up for exercises that continue to work on your core while you heal then will work with you to redevelop your food. Sorry about the fall!!

Thanks - I hadn't thought of that. I'll call my doc on Wednesday and see if I can get a referral.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
