1 week out -What kind if exercises. help, please
I am full of energy. Still sore getting up and down and during twisting movements but really don't know what excercise I should do. Where to start. I walked 2+ hours around amusement park and felt great one day. Walked mall shopping and in and out of car to lots of errands for 4 hours.
But what kind and level after walking????
I am so jealous ! I am a little over 3 weeks out and no way could I do that much !
Must be the ear lobe push ups !?!?! haha
I think we can walk at out own pace while listening to our bodies. Go for it !!
Take care.
At one week out, I would concentrate on protein and getting fluids in first.
Walking is super, but give your body time to heal before worrying about more exercise.
I am three weeks out and walk on the treadmill three times a week and do some light weight training.
At one week, I just walked and kept a good eye on my fluids.
I wouldn't do too much to soon.
Just my humble opinion.
I will keep walking and use some light weight hand weights for arm muscles and get my protein in and drink water.
Heah, that's a lot. I really got caught up in the "honeymoon thinking"and wanted to maximize because I'm always thinking these little successes will all be gone in a flash. Fear is funny that way. But we ve all BTDT and loss momentum after 2good weeks, or gained without even knowing my and got so discouraged or gained after a holiday screw up! I forget that my new tool is different than the diet/excercise programs in the past.
Thanks, so much. I needed to be a little grounded. Have a great day!!

I am glad you posted this.I had my surgery last Thursday and I keep questioning in my head if they did anything while they were in there. I have the stitches but I am just now a little sore getting up and down.I don't have as much energy as you but everyone is different. The only thing I am doing now is walking.Yesterday I added going up and down the stairs. I don't want to over do it. I would get a pedometer and use that to see how far you are walking so you have an idea.If you are looking for any other protein shakes I like Pure Protein they have 35 g of protein and 1 carb.You can actually by just one at the vitamin shop and try it.Best of luck to you.
Wow, at one week out I was back in the hospital for 10 days. I am now months post surgery and I too am Jealous. I still don't really go out and shop, it hurts too much from all my complications. I look forward to a month from now when I should be pretty much healed up and begin exercising again.
Good luck and I am happy for you and I wish you continued success.
