Oy Vey...

Tomorrow, I will celebrate my 1st week surgiversary. I'm getting around really good, no nausea, no vomiting, almost non-existent pain. I want to get out of the house more other than walking yet my so-called  support system is hell bent on keeping me house bound. 

I have a serious case of cabin fever. 

It's like I'm Paul Sheldon being held captive by my own Annie Wilkes. 

No driving yet?  I think going to the mall and walking around would be a nice outing!  Not sure where you are but in Texas that would be my destination so not to sweat outside

I'm hoping to start driving next week if Annie let's me out. I'm in Ohio and it's been soggy. Nearest mall for me is 35 min. away...but does sound fun walking there. 

Hi there,

I'm in Ohio too...Cleveland area.

This rain is definitely not conducive to those of us who enjoy being outside and such shine. 

Go slowly.

Glad to hear you're feeling so good, that's great. Do not underestimate the fatigue you will feel for a while so don't plan too big of outings. You've had major surgery and are existing in very few calories, ease your way into activity. Start with a 10 minute walk and increase from there. Getting in and out of a car plus the walk from the parking lot at a mall can exhaust you at the beginning. Just make sure you have places to rest and hydrate. Take it mindfully now and soon you'll be unstoppable!

Listen to nexxi they had some great advice.  Hopefully your weather gets nicer there and you can start walking around the block. I started doing that then 2 blocks then 4 blocks. It's going to be a wild ride. Stick to your plan 

I can't tell if you're joking or not.  If you aren't, I hope you're taking steps to get out of your situation - as an adult, no one should be trapping you in your own home.  If you are joking, ha ha ha.  

Lol im so glad you are feeling so good I sure hope I feel as fine..I worry about grocery shopping etc which will.still all be my job lol I'll have to about 10 days post op if not 7days not a.huge trip mind you but a small one I won't have to drive but I'll have to.shop...I will try to walk but if it doesn't work I'll ride a cart part way if I get too tired I'm hoping I can do it...milk water bread etc hubby will be there to lift the stuff I'll just point and grunt HAHAHA keep my spot warm on that bench I'll be there tomorrow ...and we are.close ya know I'm in KY lol and im so sick of the rain and its giving more bad stuff for 3 days.so I totally get the cabin fever bit..I hope the power doesn't go out in the OR lol (I know they have generators) 

I'm with Gwen I can't tell if you are joking or if you really need some sort of help. Either you aren't taking responsibility for your own actions by saying others are wanting you to eat and now keeping you from exercising. You either have to stand up and tell them how YOU are doing your program and ignore them or get to a therapist who can help you sort this all out. Only you are responsible for what you eat and how much exercise you get. If what they say doesn't fit with your program then it is time to tell them to buzz off and do what you know you want and need to do. No one can make you do anything unless you allow it!! If you want to go for 2 or 3 short walks during the day then that is none of their business, just go do it!
