Finally got on my bike

Hi there to all my friends. How is everyone doing? Well................... I finally got on a bike and began to ride again. Last year at this time I was suffering pain from the hernia. I did not know I had it until they opened me up last September. I could hardly walk and exercise. My daughter moved out March 15th and left her new bike behind.Today I got on it and went straight to the boardwalk. I rode , rode, and loved it. I can't believe...."NO PAIN" I know this sounds strange to some of you, but I really had trouble riding before because of my bad knees,and the fact that I weighed 245 lbs and could hardly breathe. Well now at 130 lbs and 15 months post-op, I am going to enjoy life. I am going to and love life. I sure hope you guys are enjoying it also as much as I am. Is there something you are enjoying as much as me? Peace and Lorraine

Mowing the lawn. Feels so good to get out there and do it. Felt great. Nona

Nona, I am so happy you can mow your lawn and enjoy it. Do you care to come to NY and do mine. Isn't life grand? The normal things we could not enjoy before we are doing now like nothing. How is your daughter doing. I say a prayer for her everyday. Take care Nona....Lorraine

My baby is doing well. She took 5 steps without a walker, and climbed three stairs at her p/t class. I will be going over on Friday. It is wonderful to be able to do things I couldn't before the surgery. The best is fitting in chairs, not looking at weight limits for things, buying clothes that don't look like bags. Nona

Way to go Lorraine I have been thinking about getting a bike. I'd love to get in shape for one of those really long rides, but it would also be fun just to ride for a bit of exercise. I am doing just dandy Now 6 weeks post LBL and almost back to my old, well-new and improved-self. I still cant bend over 100% but feel great and my results have been fantastic. I have tons of housework to do...all the deep cleaning stuff that has been put off while I was on restrictions. Hopefully this weekend I will get to it. I am holding steady at 118-119 depending on the day. Never in my life would I have imagined that I would be this size and feel so much better. Like you, I could not even walk through the grocery store wothout being in pain before WLS. My body was not built to hold 245lbs. ENJOY Lorraine!! You have done GREAT!!!! kimberly
