I haven't exercised for 3 weeks and counting

The days until I can get the O.K. from my doctor. I'm so used to being active, but since my surgery on Sept. 22 I've been a couch potatoe, not feeling like doing much of anything. I hope my energy comes back after the 6-7 weeks!
I'm counting on someone here to do some extra exercise for me, this way I won't feel so bad LOL

Oh Lynn it must be so hard for you to stay still! I'd be going crazy! I hope you heal quickly and can get back to your usual activity level soon!

I apologize - can't remember what type of surgery you had - but can't you exercise ANY body parts? Sitting down, you could at least exercise your arms??

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Hope you get the okay to exercise again, soon. I agree with DoeWDW, can you work out your upper body at least?

Actually I tried working out my arms on the Bowflex and I pulled my abdomen which set me back about 3 days (of agony).
I had a hysterctomy, the doctor says to just walk which I have been but I doubt it's anything fast enough or long enough for cardiovascular.
I'm being more patient now!

does this mean you are feeling better? I hope so!!!

PD and prayers for your recovery, now don't push yourself! I would say if you are walking then you are keeping the habit up and it will be a piece of cake to slowly add in some light exercises as you build back up to where you want to be. This is not a race, you WILL get there!!!

The energy will come, I just know it will!! Eat healthy
