WLS Swim Moment

Hi All, coming out of lurker status to report a funny WLS moment, at least for me. I haven't been swimming in a long, long time. (Bad me, not enough exercise) I used to spend all of my time in the deep lap pool, jogging. I never needed any help keeping my head above water, as I had plenty of fat to aid my bouyancy. In fact, I could just stand upright in the deep water, and my head was completely above the water line. Today I couldn't do it. Now if I'm not actively treading water, my head sinks up to my hair line. I guess that's what happens when you lose 130 pounds!!! Today I had to use a flotation belt to do my deep water jogging. I can live with that. Anything to get more exercise in. Debra M.

Congratulations Debra. Keep up the good work! God bless you, Annette

Yeah amazing isn't it Debra all the sudden we become rocks in the water after losing weight!!! I used to be able to swim laps like a dolphin before my weight loss, now I am lucky to be able to do half the laps I did presurgery, almost a year later, but like you said, its all good I really don't care, I feel so much better, this rock feels great in the pool.
