exercising again Ye ha

[RevyD]

Well today is the first day I am aloud to start exercising again post op,. I have missed it so much. I never thought in a million years I would say that

I am supposed to start slow so I walked for 30 minutes and did my strength training with bands on upper body. It feels sooooooooooooooooooooo good to exercise again. I can hardly wait till tomorrow. Dr Nyte had to give me strict quidelines because I run, bike,hike and walk and of course I wanted to start doing it all as fast as possible again so I would not lose muscle mass or cardio ability. I feel good so part of me wants to take off and run but he said it will be at least 6 weeks before I can even attempt that. I am on week 3 now. Anyways thanks for listening to my speel. I am just so dog gon happy I could do some exercise today I could scream. Wanted to share with all my buddies.

One more week and I can swim and I am really looking forward to that as it is hot hot hot up here on Vancouver Island right now .

Have a great day everyone.

I totally understand. Instead of stress eating this morning, I went to the gym and got on the treadmill for 40 minutes and then onto the elliptical machine. I know I will be there tomorrow morning. Love it. And a great way to get rid of some stress.

How exciting that you can exercise again.. Maybe you can send some of that excitement down my way... LOL

I went to the gym the other day and could only force myself to to 10 minutes on the bike and 10 minutes on the treadmill. I know I need to make myself do it because I am not losing weight. I will go for fill #2 the end of this month and hopefully I will feel some restriction and start to lose some weight. I hear so many people feel better about it when they loose some weight... Hope that happens for me.

HI Sherri. You will definetly lose weight if you follow the rules that were given to you by Dr Ortiz and Miranda. The key for me was exerise. Dr Ortiz said that I had to exerise for a minimum of 30 minutes, 7 days a week. Once I started doing that and feeling better and seeing the scale go down it was easy to up my time. I aso found things I had never done before such as hiking. I love hiking mountians now but would have told you that your were insane had you told me a year ago would be hiking

Exercise is a huge part of your new lifestyle. If you read the posts you will those that are really successful with their bands stared exercising and still are doing it at goal. Believe me when I tell you. Once you start doing in consistently you will begin to look forward to it because of the rapid results you and how wonderful you start to feel. You start to sleep so much better and it is easier to make healthier food choices when you just exercised . My brain says Hey I just worked my tail off so there is no way I am going to screw that workout up by eating junk now. It helps keep you motivated with your eyes on the goal.

Give it some time and you will be like the rest of us just loving exercise.

Hope this helps you
