well we have had the surgery and now the countdown is on

Jenn and I had our surgery on 7/3/06 now we have a few things to work out (placeto work,place to live )in Boyne city . Jenn's Dad lives there on 40 acres we want to build a house. Jenn and i are doing pretty well after surgery we are on the mushy foods now. and hope to transition to solids before too long Jenn was having some dumping over milk but i think now that we are aware of it we can keep on going together we have lost near 50 lbs we are working hard to keep active (walking and moving ) I have been going to the Pool and water jogging this is a great exercise because there is no impact on joints and you can go as hard as you want without beating your jounts up. I am also doing a light weight work out for toneing

John, It is nice to hear from you, I am happy that you and Jenn are doing well. It has been a month and it seems like you are adjusting quite well. With this heat, exercising is pretty dificult but it sounds like you got the right idea with the pool exercising. I wish you and Jenn continued success and stay cool. Take care, Janice

Wow John! Good for the two of you. It's so cool that you both had your surgeries together. You each know what the other is going through and can support each other. Congratulations on your weight loss and your ability to keep getting exercise despite the heat. We have been going swimming every day in Lake Michigan. Wave surfing is great exercise and we stay cool. My surgery is coming up this Wednesday. Give your wife my congrats as well, Julie in Ludington
