Well, I was doing alright on walking but the last couple days I have not done so good. I have been really nauseated. Today is real yucky outside. Tomorrow I will start exercising again.

Well, for me, the exercising isn't going at all. I'm down one leg due to an amputation, and the other one has a blood clot from mid calf to hip. That hurts like he**!!!! So, I'm trying to keep my upper body moving. I'm hoping that I'll be able to wear my prosthesis soon so I can keep up with you all on the weight loss! I'm trying my best though! I be I'll have the strongest upper body than most of you though! LOL

Naomi, It is important to follow your doctors orders to the letter with that clot! You are doing well to work your upper body--you could probably arm wrestle the rest of to the ground. I have NO upper body strength. I need to start toning my arms or I will end up with bat wings! Joy

Funny how that works. My doctor doesn't want me to exercise until 1 month post op, but I wonder if it's because I was open? I don't think a little walk here and there would be bad, but he doesn't want any vigorous exercise happening until 1 month later. I'm only 3 weeks from that though! Dina

My doc wants as much walking as possible, but no exercises that could affect the abs. I'm trying to work up to being able to do curves for 30 min by the time he releases me to do so. Dina--are you home yet? Joy -19 lbs / 16 days
