Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Maybe this is because I'm a type 1 on insulin, not type 2, but there's nothing consistent about my reaction to exercise. I walk every morning the same amount/distance at the same time - an hour after breakfast, for 30 minutes. Most of the time my BG goes down, anywhere from 10 to 50 points; occasionally it stays the same. Now and then (and I haven't figured out why this is) it actually goes UP. Which is one of the reasons I always test before and after exercise. Vicki Exercise > For me, exercise in the morning does little to my sugar levels.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi Sunny, Does the Gazelle thing fold up well? I'd like to find something that I can put out of sight when I'm not using it. I had a Nordic Track for awhile but it took up so much space. Also, if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 It folds up pretty easy and it would fit under the bed I think. I probably won't take it down unless I'm having company (it's in the living room) If I put it up all the time I have a tendency to forget it - out of sight out of mind. I bought mine used off of Ebay for $23.00. I've seen the basic model new at Walmart for around $90.00. The 2nd hand sports stores usually have them also. Set up, it uses a lot less room then a treadmill. I know what a Nordic track is, but I can't picture how much room it uses, so i can't compare. -sunny --- Barbie Gallini wrote: > Hi Sunny, > > > > Does the Gazelle thing fold up well?

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Way to go!!!!!! You will never waste your time when it comes to exercise. I am Pre-OP and I started exercising and losing weight BEFORE they told me how much I needed to lose. It is never to early to learn those healthy ways!...lol I truly believe it will help also when recovering from the surgery. Keep up the good work!

I am asking becuase I have been excercising for 43 weeks now with a 45 pound weight loss. Am I wasting my time. I am planning on going to the gym that we have at my job, after my surgery so I can lose as much weight as I possibly can (within reason).

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yes, exercise was a requirement to get surgery where I live. You must exercise regularly before and after surgery to be successful. I do water aerobics and deep water running, and walking. I lost 51 lbs before surgery, and am almost 3 months out. I have lost 98 lbs since this last January. I love exercise. Dana lap RNY 7-10-06 326/228/150 exercise Did anyone who is post op exercise before their surgery?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Shaul, It is true for me. I feel better generally when I exercise regularly. I also understand from people who already had their transplant it helps to be in an as good as possible shape when you get to the point that you need transplant. It appears that things are " easier " when your shape is better, less depression, less fatigue. Regards, Chaim Boermeester, Israel From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of CholangitisSuprt@...

At first he thought I was just joking, but then he realized I was dead serious! Somehow, it seems some PSC patients have a good capacity for physical exertion (Klug comes to mind ... and also Mike Z., Arne, and many others whose names escape me at this hour). Others of us are exhausted just thinking about taking a walk! For those who can -- keep it up!!! You'll have a definite advantage when it comes to recovering from transplant surgery. For those who can't -- try setting even the teensiest tiniest of goals and do your best to reach them. I can now manage to walk one tenth of a mile at the blazing speed of 1 mph, but it leaves me huffing and puffing, and wiped out for the rest of the day. But I feel good being able to accomplish that much since it's a lot more than I could do just a few months ago.
