Lack of exercise so frustrated!

l am 8 days post op, but so wanting to do something to my backside! l feel like its spreading. Been doing some squats lightely but not sure what else to do.

Im such a exercise dvd freak missing davina ha ha. lm not eating differently and have walked most days.

Any suggestions?? l guess stomach exercises are a NO NO! lol xx

GOD NO! U can watch the dvd with a cup of tea xx

Speed walking?

That just made me laugh hush no lm definately not ready for Davina dvd but hey speed walkinbg may be ok. But when lm walking with my hubby seem to walk at a slow pace.

xx

Plenty off walking hun, I used my stepper at 3 weeks,sit ups at 4 weeks and started back to the gym 4.5 weeks post opp and I didnt have no problems, just do wats comfy you’ll know when you’ve over done it xx

thanks nikki xx

Hun I am in the same boat, 13days post op….feeling fab can move my arms around etc, I did some squats and sit ups which were fine, but now I want to go back to spinning, my main concern is sweat, I am expanding by the minute, prob because I am eating cake after cake!! no gym for me makes me fall off the wagon completely! x

Haha i am exactly the same! before my op i was constantly doing fitness dvds, yoga classes, got my own excercise bike, now i am sat like lump of lard on the sofa depressed because i can just imagine all this fat starting to form!! i think the best way not to put weight on whilst you cant move is to just resist all those chocolates and crisps! and to just eat healthy food!! xx

amanda I am turning into a obese ball of fat! 2 weeks out, prior to the op I was spinning or boxing every day, now I’m sitting and eating!! ARGHHHH…does anyone know if sweating will affect my healing? I want to go spinning, I feel well enough just worried about the sweat on my scabs! xx

Lol! I would just try and make sure that everything you eat is healthy lol i cant talk tho i have all these easter eggs in the house omg! If i were you id speak with a nurse and ask her if sweat would affect them, i doubt it will to be honest xxx

I cant stop eating honestly!!! I’m going to call them now and see what they say! x

I’m going back to the gym today! It’s 4 weeks tomorrow since my op. Just going to do leg and ab work. No weights for me just yet. And no running (can’t wait to be able to run again). x

im eating really good no treats, l think im just going to have to stick with squats do about 100 and then lunge but holding onto something 50/60 each side you feel like you have done something then xx

Well, I’m back from my first session back at the gym and only did half an hour on the bike. I lay down to do some litle sit ups and got scared because of my scars so just stopped and came home. Think I’ll join the squatting club with you guys. X

Just made me laugh! How many days/weeks po are u Lisam? x

Its 4 weeks tomorrow since my op. X
