Does anyone have tips (not routines or videos or anything like that please...set stuff like that doesn't do much for me for reasons I'll he explaining) for getting back into the exercise routine?

I'm not looking to start doing a lot for a while still because I just had my csection about 2 weeks ago and am still having some issues from it. But to explain the other issues, I need something that I can set the pace and such because I have Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disease, have had 2 back surgeries and am potentially facing a 3rd minor one or a major one to try and get my disc issues under some kind of control, finally, since one of my surgically repaired discs has herniated for a second time, and I'm also having issues with my left shoulder/rotator cuff.

I already plan on eating better but can't fully diet since a reduction in calories can mess with a BFing/Pumping momma's supply, and I know pumping/breastfeeding will help me lose some weight (it did with #1) so I'm only so worried about that aspect of it all.

Thanks y'all!! :)

Oh my!!! Yeah, you've got some challenges. ❤️ first, I'd recommend starting by getting the food in check and by walking. Start with a mile a day. Over time, work your way up. For your food, use something like MyFitnessPal app to track your calories and macros. Shoot for 40% protein, 35% complex carbs, and 25% healthy fats. You can Google search lists of foods in these categories. Avoid your carbs after 4:00. Hit your library and check out a clean eating book by Tosca Reno. You can add calories for pumping/BF'ing and eat super nutritiously and still lose weight. The food will determine 80% of your success. As far as strengthening your rotator cuff, get a resistance band and try out some band stretches and training. If you can't find any online, your doctor should be able to help you with this. I hope that helps. Feel free to follow me on IG and Facebook at erinflaherty818 for tips and motivation. :)

Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't have any diseases, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, i don't have a bad heart, lungs, or anything else. So I'm healthy I'm just over weight. So then we argued about him having an issue with my weight.. Am i wrong in this? Because it really hurt my feelings.. I've tried sooo many different things to lose weight but having hypothyroidism makes you gain/hard to lose. And my medications for depression and anxiety cause you to gain also.. So it's very hard to lose weight.. But i didn't even know he had an issue with my weight until last night..

Trying to get a breast pump through my insurance feels about impossible 😣 United health care is awful. I have a prescription for a pump, but they're seriously making me jump through hoops. My insurance will cover a non medical gender test no questions asked, but try and order a pump to feed my kid, and they act like I'm asking for $10,000!! I'm determined to get this pump for free. If not, guess we will have no choice but to buy one 😡
