Pre RNY weight goal

Posts: 2 Member
Hello, I am at the begining of my journey with a bariatric program. Have lost weight before and gained( cyclic through out my adult life. My weight loss goal preop is 16 lbs but seems huge and scarey. I have read some posts here and am inspired by what I have read. Right now my left ankle is fractured so I cannot do the recumbent bike and yoga.I have been doing upper body weoght reps and some rope pulls.
does anyone have any other suggestions? My gym does not have a arm cycle for cardio. I welcome advice and suggestions.

Do you have access to video games?
In my early days post surgical I had a few complications and couldn't do a lot of body movements. I resorted to my Wii, I played tennis, boxing and a few others all while sitting, I wore my HRM and you'd be surprised what kind of cardio you can get from a silly video game.0 -
I have a wii. Didn't think of that . Thank you will gilve it a try! If I may ask......what complications did you have? feel free to say no I realize this is very personal and truthfully I have shared with very few that I am in a BLS program.0

i know it sounds silly but punching ion the air as hard and as fast as you can with/without weights too really gives you a great cardio workout! :bigsmile: as ive just come off sitting on my *kitten* for months on crutches im used to this! lol
