Hi Marisol,

I am no expert, just a Mom of 5 kids.... I know that feeling of desperation, of wanting your body back, of thinking and feeling that you never will...hang in there.

My advice would be to take easy going walks to get the blood flowing but not too high of a heart rate. Also, I would stay away from weight lifting because I would worry about muscle strain.

So,I guess I am very conservative on your behalf and would say try to do other things (besides exercise) just for yourself that bolster your self-esteem. This too will pass and you will be in charge of your body again!
