I'm a skinny person?! Or on my way to that? Weirdness.
I'm not currently wearing exercise clothes because I'm not exercising, but yesterday I wore one of my Under Armour shirts and it's a XS (their smallest size) and it was baggy. And this is before I've even had my UBL/BL..
I know I'll want/need well fitting, and preferably compression, exercise clothing once I'm able to exercise again and it seems like I'll have un-sized UA. So where the heck do smaller people even get exercise clothing?!
I realize I'll have this issue with my every day clothing as well, but I'm not as picky about that stuff.

not much longer to go and you will be back at it. Glad to hear that you are getting out and doing stuff
I'm four weeks post-op today, which means two weeks to go for exercise clearance. I get jealous when I read the posts here, which is why I read the posts here.. since I want to actively miss exercise so that I'll be eager to get back to it when I can!
Right now, I can walk, but the allergies are kicking my butt whenever I do (and I even get allergy shots!!) so then I end up coughing a lot and coughing really, really sucks post abdominal surgery. SIGH.
But on Saturday I walked up and down stairs for the first time when I went to the theater to see a musical, and that was great. I'm walking around a lot inside my home as well. But, still.. can't wait to be able to post real exercise here again! I miss yoga and pilates and running!

I'm not sure if you're trying to sell a product to us with this link or not. But in case you aren't...
Both are important. Cardio (which you'd get with the cycling) is important for your health and the strength, flexibility, and balance gains that you get from yoga are equally important to your health.

Yesterday my father sent me a lot of messages to encourage me for Indoor cycling. But as I dig deeper into the buying process I find it quiet a costly affair. On the other side, Yoga is free and without any risk involved. I want to know what are the poses that can do exactly same job as of .indoor cycling. So I can reply back to my dad to convince him of yoga being more beneficial then use of indoor cycling.
Be proud that you are doing it and speed will come with time. I remember the first time I ran around the bay 30k race and my trainer came out after she had finished to run the the last 5k with me. Well I was running and she was walking and I said to her this is bad your walk is my run and she said I just walk real fast but you know what it did not matter it was my run and I was doing it. Speed will come. I am still not fast as everyone else but that is OK.
I have just learned that riding will help you to become a faster runner. I find it is easier to get faster with the bike than running.
Make sure you stretch after your workouts and that means the bike . Your running and biking does count as cardio as long as you are getting the heart rate up. If you are than great and if not than peddle a little faster for a minute than recover for a minute or two and repeat. You got this
