How are you guys doing on getting your walking in?

I seem like im having a hard time fetting my walking in. My left side incision is still really painfull and im not getting very much walking in. How is everyone else doing?!

I'm walking around my yard/house.  I know that's not enough.  I can start using my exercise bike after week 2, so that will help.

Thats pretty much what ive been doing, i get my dog out and we wealk around the building and that about it. After im exausted and fall asleep for an hour. So lame!!!

I'm getting walking in pre - op and I hope it carries to post op. I will let you know in a couple of weeks.

I haven't been walking every day.  But this week I did walk along with my DH while he played 9 hole golf (takes about 2 hrs) twice, went to the gym once and walked on the treadmill for 45 min & stationary bike for 15 min, and went on a walk on a railtrail for an hour.  I started out walking really slow because my stomach hurt to jiggle around.  But now I'm almost up to my normal walking pace.  The hardest part is sipping while walking.  I can't.  I have to stop or I endup either taking too big of a sip or spill it.  Maybe I need a sippy cup.

WOW you are way ahead of me!!! I better suck it up and get moving!

The more you do it the easier it gets! But listen to your body. If you're tired, sleep.  It's only been a week or so.  It's all good!

I went to the store a few times in the first 2 weeks and spent a good hour each time walking around and reading labels on everything looking for some new stuff to try.

I started using EA Active for the Wii again a few days ago and it had me walking and jogging.

I go downstairs and check the mail every daily and take a walk around my complex while I'm out there.

My energy level has been pretty amazing despite eating so little.  I almost feel like I have more energy than I did pre-op.  I guess I'm not eating all the heavy foods that used to weigh me down and make me crash out!

 i just mandadted walks with my kiddos after every meal !!! 

I have been walking a mile a day.  I still can't do iwithout getting tired.  When I do, Il start going further.
