Good Morning!
I did my cardio walk this morning. YIPPEE. I did 45 mins, and just over 2.5 miles. I would have done a little more but had to get back so I can get ready for an appointment. Still a little slower than normal but better than I was doing 3 weeks ago. I took Buddy with me and he just wanted to sniff ever blade of grass.
I'm mentally struggling with getting into exercise again. I had a fight in my head this morning and finally pushed myself to get outside and walk. I think it's because I fear it will make my swelling worse again and that sort of gets me down. I keep telling myself it is what it is and I have to deal with it and work thru it but it stinks. OK, done with my pity party.
What are you doing to workout today??

Hi Ruth:
Sorry to hear you're swelling. It is the surgical sites? I'm contemplating a lower body lift and thigh lift and would like to know what some of the complications might be.
Was running late this morning, so I only did a 20-minute cardio video. Will do a full hour this evening. Thinking of joining a gym to use the exercise machines for weight training.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Maria,
Yes my swelling is all do the Inner Thighplasty I just had. I had no swelling after most of my procedures but this one has beat me down and good....but I'm surviving and working thru it. I really believe it is much worse for me because my surgeon did not put drains in...which initially I was happy about but now I believe that all the fluid that normally drains out has just been collecting and so I'm having swelling issues. PLUS this is the first time he did any lipo on my (I had no lipo with my TT, and LBL (Butt and outer thighs)....lipo definitely makes the healing more difficult!
Other than the swelling I've no complications. I've actually been very fortunate with all the procedures I've had (and I've had everything done) I have had no incision breakdown. I thank God and my surgeon often for this. Plus I think my overall health and the protein loading has helped with my healing too.
Let me know if you specific questions about plastics...I'd be happy to chat about my experiences.
Have a great day!

Ruth, sometimes we have to have a pity party, swelling just ain't any fun! BOOOOOOOOHOOO!
Baby steps...get in that pool instead, maybe less swelling for you if you do water???
I'll be working out at the gym before I lead the bariatric support group for Ben tonight.
He always does "assignment's" and tonight is on hydration and drinking at least 64oz a day.
Then I'll just open it up to "head issues" or how people are dealing with life in general.
Of course I'll cover exercise...gotta move to lose and teaching them how to reward themselves every 5 pounds...Yepper, we gotta just celebrate!

Sorry I'm late in replying....been trying to catch on things.
Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I hope the surgery helps and you recover jiffy quick.
Will be thinking of you on Monday and sending good vibes your way.
