Hello everyone!
So this is my first post on here and thus I guess I should give a little introduction for myself. My name is Daniel and I have not done any kind of training since I was a kid, and that was Taekwondo. I have had several setbacks and have decided that it is time to make a new life for for myself. But I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of info I am taking in and have no idea where to start .
Some basic info.
(Results PDF screenshot below)
I lost my colon due to Crohn's disease four years ago and wear an appliance (aka ostomy bag). The doctors asuras me that it should not interfere with exercise (though running can be an issue) and the lifting restrictions from the surgery has been lifted. My abdominal muscles was split from about 2" above my belly button all the way down for when the removed my colon.
I also had a stroke earlier this year. It did not impede any major muscle function or mental ability, but it did reduce tactile feeling. The neurologist believes the stroke has only caused superficial nerve function damage. I have some numbness in my right side and feel some weakness in my right quadricep especially. I have no real loss of strength but the muscle feels fatigued easily. The neurologist believes exercise may improve some of these issues.
As far as my diet goes due to my ostomy I have a few restrictions especially with raw fruits and vegetables. What it boils down to is if it can cause an impaction I supposed to avoid it. I have a list of foods to eat and not to eat from my nutritionist.
Anyway I hope all of this information helps and you all can point me in the right direction.
