Good morning everyone! On Monday I will be 6 weeks post and will see my surgeon again for a check-up. I have been feeling better every day and I'm starting to get anxious about exercise and what I can and cannot do. At this early point in recovery, I'm only walking both outside and on my treadmill. I really truly miss the feeling of a good sweat, maybe that sounds silly but for me exercise is a great mental release. I understand that I need to restrict myself to low impact exercise for the rest of my life but am wondering how soon I will be able to do things like the elliptical machine, stair master and maybe even my spin bike. I have lost about 10 lbs and I worry that it is all likely muscle loss rather than fat loss (sadly) and I'm easily winded climbing stairs so I know that I am already out of shape. It's so very sad for me to be in excellent physical shape going in and now 6 weeks later, sucking wind climbing two flights of stairs.
I'm hoping some of you can chime in related to exercise and how soon I can think about getting back into the groove.
Thanks much and happy Friday!
