After being on prednisone for most of last year, my tiny frame (4 ft, 11 inches) has some extra lbs. It’s time to get back to eating healthy and introducing exercise (4.5?months post takedown).
My main area of concern is my belly but I’m nervous of working that specific area bc of my scar and just that being where everything is healing. Also, I still have a lot of joint pain in my knees and hips. I’m working with a rheumatologist to determine treatment- other than pred, even though that’s what seems to work.
Any suggestions as to how to introduce more exercise, and what type given my joint pain? Also, I’d like to introduce my vegetables but I’m a little nervous about overdoing it and having it negatively affect my pouch- e.g.: increase my bathroom trips, butt burn, liquid stool, possibly onstruction with lettuce etc.
I thought about a trip to see a nutritionist but I’m just tired of seeing doctors after everything I’ve been through. But I am ready for a life change.
