I went on the treadmill for the first time since surgery!
Today I am feeling good. If anyone has been following my progress I've been in and out of the hospital since my surgery. Last time they found a stricture and opened it up. Now I feel like I have so much more strength. I am keeping more normal food and water down and even pills. Today I am not even craving the things I used to.
Today I went on the treadmill. I went about a half a mile for 10 minutes. I know tat isn't a lot but tomorrow I am going to go 20 minutes and the next day 30 and then 40 and then work my way up! I feel great and proud! It is nice going on the treadmill considering I have just been SO week these last few weeks. Time to gain my strength back.

Yay! Good for you!
I also returned to the gym for the first time since surgery. I did 10 minutes on the elliptical. It felt kinda lame! I know I can't do what I used to, but I wonder if I can now bump it up to 15??? I am just not sure how to proceed from here....

Way to go. Start off slow and work your way up. I was just a hair over two weeks out when I started working out. I do 25 minutes on treadmill, 10 minutes on eliptical and 15 minutes on the stationary bike then I lift weights for approx. 20-25 minutes. I have bad knees so that is why I do several of the different cardio machines.
