Hi all,
In two days I will be twelve weeks post-op. I havent really done major exercise as yet. Immediately post op I did a few weeks of walking, to help get me moving again but since not really done much. And being so busy at work now, even the walking has stopped. All I really do, physical wise (enough to burn calories) is not use the lift at work, instead I use the stairwell (3 flights) to get to my office in the morning and then down when I go home.
Despite the lack of focus on exercise I have already lost 6.2 stone. Yay. However, horror of horror, I noticed my new wing flaps this morning. My upper arms have now developed flaps.
When I had my surgery my surgeon said she felt I had good elasticity, combined with my age, that I may not suffer too badly with hanging skin.
Therefor I need to work on these flaps ASAP!
I dont really have the time (work wise) to join a gym at the moment, so will need to focus on exercise at home and work more.
Question 1: What exercises can you recommend? (12 weeks post op), that can focus on muscle tightening/strengthening in all the right area's?
Question 2: I am having major food issues (surgeon putting a camera down in Jan), so on a good day I am lucky if I in take as much as 500 calories - a very good day, most days are 350 - 400. With that in mind what happens if I burn more calories with exercise than I actually take in?
