Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hang in there Ron. You are on the right track. If you think you might be down with the plantar fachitis for awhile check out the chair dancing video. You can usually find it at eBay for a good price. This website http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/Sandstedt/i161.shtml has some seated exercises. Good luck, I'm pulling for you. Pam Dumpsville Okay, I've really done it this time. Between my own stupidity (eating too damned much) and all the water gain from not taking my lasix, I've added 24.5 pounds to myself. I have a mixture of emotions going on right now... sadness, anger, and horror among them. So today I have to start taking some evasive action. Everything that goes into my mouth will be logged and I'll figure out some exercises that can be done sitting down (I still have that damned plantar fachiitis going on). I'm just so p'o'ed with myself right now... Tomorrow will be a better day, but I have to get started today! Okay, back to your regularly scheduled support group..... Ron, 90 pounds to go...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Hi Ron, Have you ever tried " chair isometrics " ? That is where you sit in a chair and clench you various muscles groups. Clench, count to three (or five or build up to ten) and then relax. I do this a lot while watching old Charlie's Angels reruns! ; ) With practice, you can learn to isolate the various muscle groups. I have problems with my ankles, so I will raise a leg, and do rotations and bend my foot from side to side and up and down. I think it helps and if you don't overdue it, it can't hurt. Like anything else, you build it up slowly... > > Okay, I've really done it this time.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ok Ron You've acknowledged the problems and have come up with a viable solution. Keep it up and you will be fine!! Journalling is sooo important. Huggles > > Okay, I've really done it this time.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well, Ron...you may find that a big hunk of it is water. But, youi have the right attitude...find something you can do. Whether it be a stationary bike (I was able to do that with plantar fascitis) or even one of those little pedal things that you put on the floor...or if you go to a gym, you can do one of those pedal things for the arms (kicked my booties)...or chair aerobics (you can get tapes at the Kaiser Health Education Center, and probably the public library)...you can find something to help out. Chair dancing. Drink lots and lots of water. The more you weigh, the more you ened just to sustain yourself. SO, drink from the moment you wake up in the a.m. Good luck, don't be too down. You probably didn't REALLY gain that much weight...so you'll get it off quickly. You'll get there, just don't lose sight. It's the little things that make the big differences. (i.e. refuse to DRINK anything with calories. If it's coffee or tea...don't add milk, honey or sugar. DOn't drink soda. Don't drink juice. Don't drink milk.) Don't have seconds. Measure your food and write every single morsel down in a book, so you can't delude yourself into thinking you haven't had many calories on any given day. Don't snack between meals, or if you must, eat an apple. Or a mozarella cheese stick. But stop at one. If you get hungry, drink a huge glass of water, maybe even two..and wait ten minutes. You may find that you are really thirsty when you think you are hungry. We're in your corner!! RobynnBBQ Man wrote: Okay, I've really done it this time.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Oh, Ron - I'm so sorry! But I KNOW you can do this - and you're on the right track now, with logging and exercise. Don't forget to see if you can get the video on chair dancing from Kaiser. . .it's great! Cathy C. > > Okay, I've really done it this time.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I am new to the group thing and I read your post and I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have a page in my journal that was torn out, ripped up and thrown on the floor. (Yea, I went back later and picked it up, taped it together and taped it back in the journal). I will tell you what I tell my students when they are frustrated, and angry. The only way to loose is to quit, no matter how far the setback, so long as you are in the game, you can win. I know that in the heat of the moment, that is no help, but reflections are just that . . . what comes back. Your stumble has helped people on this site, and your resolve and strength will help even more. Keep us update on overcoming the hurdle, we are all pulling for you. > > Okay, I've really done it this time.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ya know... I really love this group. I was really down about this whole thing. I posted here about it, and believe me, I'm really glad I did. I got a lot of responses and they all tell me I'm on the right track. I do believe I am, but it helps a lot knowing that you are all here whenever I need a little helping hand or encouragement. I'll post tomorrow to let you all know how it's going. Today, I didn't eat well at all. We won't even talk about breakfast. I had no lunch, drank a bunch of water, and for dinner had some steamed asparagus, and a fillet of orange roughy (best fish in the entire world, for those of you who've never had it). In the morning, I'll plan out my meals for the day and start logging everything. I actually have a chair dancing video around here somewhere. I'll find it and plug it in. We'll see how that works out. Anyway, thanks to each and every one of you for being here and helping out. I'd say you have no idea... but I know you all DO have an idea how helpful it is to be a part of this wonderful group.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 HI Ron, Don't get discouraged. You know we are all here for you. There is a tape you can borrow from Kaiser called Chair Dancing and it is really very good for persons that have limited mobility. I had the tape at one time and was using it. You wouldn't think you could work up a sweat in your chair but you can. Besides the tape you will need some weights to exercise your arms also. I highly recommend it for you. Also I don't know if you have checked out www.fitday.com there you can log you food and keep better track of your food intake. You also need to be weighing and measuring you food also so that you can get used to a normal size serving because we are so used to super sizing everything these days that it is hard to eyeball a serving these days. If you follow the 1200 calorie meal plan that they gave you at orientation it would help also. also you might benifit counseling also to figure out why you are sabotaging yourself. It is really very good if you have issues that may need looking into. I personally thing that it is so important to get help before surgery because once you have the surgery you can't continue with you old ways.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Ron We are here for you and I hope you really log ever thing so you can really take control. Like I said before you can borrow or buy the Chair dancing exercise tape at the Health Education at Kaiser. If they don't have that one I'm sure they will have some thing that you can use to start an easy work out plan. Any form of exercise is better than none. You take care, if you can't do it on your own, maybe you should log all what you're doing so we can help you get back on track. Just a thought. Hang in there.
