Hi all,
I had my surgery Feb. 2008. Check out my profile for more detailed info please. I starting exercising about a month before surgery. I took the required time off except for walking afterwards. I started a cardio/weight resistance program 2 months post-op (April 08). I use exrx.net to get my workout information. I currently exercise just 3 times a week as I have severe ESLD from diabetes, NASH, the whole co-morbidity deal. I was told that if it came from drinking instead of Diabetes/NA**** would reverse to some degree... I wish I could exercise more, but it takes everything I have to just get out 3 times a week.
I have a lot of fatigue normally. I also been having more pain issues. The fatigue/pain is normal for my illness, but I know lifting adds to it. My gastric bypass surgeon told me not to take Ibuprophen. I have started taking 1000mg of Tylenol with 400MG Ibuprophen 2 to 3 times a day and it helps. I am worried the NSAID(Motrin) will give me problems with my pouch. Does anyone else take Motrin? Does your doctor put it on the do not take list also? I would like to get some relief from the pain. I do not want to give up training as I believe the benefits out way the risks of the Motrin.
I am looking for good websites/info on changing up my routines. I feel it is starting to get stagnant. Any ideas? How about protein? I am trying to take in 1gram per pound so trying to average 150 grams in a day. I use protein shakes/drinks to reach my goal because that much food would be too much for me.
Thanks for the read,
Doc
