Yay for energy!

Well I must say...I have more energy than I have had in a long time.  Today me and my 11 year old daughter went for a 2 mile walk, and I wasn't even pooped afterwards...YAY.

I think I have a seperated abdominal muscle...it really hurts, or maybe just pain from the surgery...but when I had the twins I am sure I had this pain...hmmm a point to ponder.

I love walking....and it is so good for you...I am really glad that my kids are willing to walk with me.

Way to go on your walking!!

Isn't it just awesome to have all this energy! My husband and I are head out to walk in about any hour, we gotta watch the All Star Game first. By then, it will have cool off outside.

Sorry to hear about your pain. Are u going to call your surgeon? You take care of yourself, girl.

I am going to see if it gets better, I saw the PT today...he seems to think its the post surgery pain...we will see.

I am taking great care of myself thanks Theresa...this website just rocks..you can tell anything weird, gross...whatever and someone listens....thank God!!

I hear ya, I posted "liquids and squirts" and I got responses. I love this site.

OK, maybe I'm just a mother, but isn't a two mile walk when you are only post op 1 week a little much?  Plus an abdominal muscle that is hurting.  I think you are overdoing....

Nope I started walking on day 4.....I feel so great!  My adominal muscle hurt right after surgery...I will have to talk to my surgeon if it does not get better...but hey thanks Mom..he he

Your welcome.  Congrats on feeling so good - just go careful....

I love to read about the positive attitude and success you've had walking.  Way to go!  Keep it up and enjoy the time with your kids!

LisaAnn..

Word to the wise.. I felt GREAT too.. tons of energy.. and I ran my happy A$$ right into the ground week two. 

I was doing my 1.5 mile walk again and I woke up one day and I could barely move, the pain in my abdomen was SO bad.

Irregardless of how good you feel outwardly - you are healing... TAKE TIME TO LET YOUR BODY REST.  As hard as it is, ya need to cool your jets...  You just had major surgery..

Smaller amounts over the day was what I was told.. By Dr. Benn's office no less!

Hope you feel better soon...

My stomach is feeling better....I am still going to walk..it makes me feel so good, and my daughter loves coming with me.

I think I might have lost mabye 2 pounds...so that is great!
