WALKED A MILE TONIGHT

HI everyone I just wanted to let everyone know I am feeling better, each day that passes the rib pain is subsiding more n more thank God! I go back to the Doc. on April 6th to have the G-tube and staples removed. I decided tonight was so nice I would start my walking again and Richy took me the track by our house and I walked a lil over a Mile, I am so darn proud of myself!! I hope the weather stays this nice so I can continue to walk everyday now before it gets to Hot here in Florida, Hope all is well with all our Marchers, God Bless you all! Mary

Wow!! Mary - that is impressive! I had surgery on the 23rd and walked outside a couple times this week - but very slow and very short - couldn't imagine doing a mile! Way to go! Glad to hear you're doing so well already. Keep it up! Gail

Thanks so much gayle for the words of encouragement! believe me if i didnt start the walking 4 weeks before the surgery I bet i couldnt walk as much either, it really helped me to get into the walking before my wls. I am going to take it a lil slower tomorrow because tonight my ankles are throbbing bad. I need a pair of sneakers with high tops to support my ankles, that will be next on my list of things to get, anyway I am happy your walking also, and keep up the good work the end results for us will be so wonderful, God Bless you! mary

Wow - walking a mile already! You didn't get all wiped out? My surgeon told me no exercise until a month out, but at 3 weeks I do feel ready now. Now I just need to get motivated. Maybe tomorrow as it should be warm then. Dina

Hi Mary, I left the hospital with instructions from the doctor that I was to walk at least 30 minutes daily. I haven't even come close to that, but yesterday I did venture out in the neighborhood and walked for 20 minutes and that was about 6/10ths of a mile. I don't live in an area that is good for walking but I am going to try because it will be easier to get my walking done if I can just walk out of the house and walk and not have to drive some where to walk. The local community college is only about a mile and a half away, and I can always go there and walk on the track, and there is a park close by too. You did a great job walking a mile. !!! Hugs & smoochies, Mo don' a happier happy Mo post op dance every day

Hi Thanks ladies, and Gentleman, lol Richy your the best inspiration hunny, Thank you, and I love you! Maureen,Dina I am very shy when it comes to walking outside thats probably why I never did it much before, But I somehow feel so safe and secure Knowing I have someone to walk with me, maybe you can get a neighbor or a friend to walk with you, I know when I walk with Richy it just gives me the determination to go a lil further and just push a lil harder! Thats great your walking, my doc says to walk an hour and a half everyday, doesnt have to be all together just one and half hours a day. I did a lil to much last night and my ankles are suffering for it today... Tonight when I go walking I am going to walk for an hour but at a much slower pace, Keep up the great work ladies I am Marching as much as I can, I have a beautiful Wedding dress I need to get into by July! And I am going to dance at my Wedding love:

Mary, that is great news!! You are doing fantastic keep up the great work!! Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 30 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -35 lbs!!!! Yayyyy A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!
