Climbing Stairs

I took my 7 year old to California Adventures (a disney theme park near me). We had so much fun. I realized I had been RUNNING up and down stairs all day without getting winded, or my knees giving out. Its a miracle! Praise God! I love my new life and all of its possibilities! Hugs, Rachel

Hi Rachel. Isn't it wonderful?!! I am actually enjoying taking walks again. I haven't been at this weight in 18 years! We have friends coming to visit next week, and I am going to be able to go for walks again with them and my husband instead of waiting for them all to come back. Keep up the good work....and fun! Just think. With all that activity, you are helping yourself lose even more weight. Cheers! Peggy

Isn't this amazing...this change. I usually hate to go to WalMart...all the people and stuff...so I like to go early get what I am going to get and get out. Before surgery I was huffing, puffing and would just break out in a sweat just standing in line. Yesterday, I had run out of protein bars so I zoomed by ran in got two cartons of prepared protein drinks and two boxes of protein bars and zoomed right out. I didn't even break a sweat. I just sat in my car in shock...and a smile on my face all the way to work. -50

You go girl!!! Isn't it awesome??!! I too am having such a ball getting out and doing things I had passed up on in the past, due to my size. This surgery is such a blessing! Shelli

I know what you mean Rachel. I was able to go to Atlantic City on one of the bus tours and stay all day. I would have NEVER been able to do this before the surgery. I could barely walk 20yards without practically dying from the pain. This surgery is such a blessing!

Hey Rachel, That is so cool!!! My kids and I go to Sea World frequently and went to Six Flags a couple weeks ago and my kids (teenagers with legs much longer than mine) complain that I walk too fast-go figure! Anyway congrats on your new lease on life! ~Jenn~

It is cool! Hey, where abouts in LB do you life. I used to live on Cherry and Del Amo. My sister lives by CSULB

Hey Rachel, I live in Bixby (near Carson & Orange), not far at all from where you used to live. Hope your enjoying the summer! ~Jenn~
