OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO WALK TODAY...

I will be 4weeks post op tomorrow. I have been walking at a good pace almost 2 miles a day. If you can believe it, I'm actually antsy that I can't today because of our lovely NY weather. (Me-wanting to walk?) I don't have a treadmill so what can I do????????? WAH WAH WAH How long before you were able to do regular exercises in the gym...or abdominal exercises specifically? I can't wait for that. I'm guilty of ordering "THE BEAN" from an informercial. I know...I know...I know. Do not tell me if it stinks. I'll tell you when it gets here. Hubby's going to be thrilled. Well, talk to you soon Diane

Hi Penny, Maybe we can get a Long Island WLS wallking team together? How does that sound? It may be nice to meet at Jones Beach to do the Boardwalk weekly. Let me know if you are feeling up to it. After next week, I should have a bit more time as one of my two classes will be coming to an end. (Then again, a few short weeks after, I'll begin my summer classes,,,,lol!) Nevertheless, we can do it....anybody else interested? Maryellen

hi.. i was wondering if any of the folks here got together on a social basis .. i'm not so good at the wakling thingy right now ( i use a cane) . but if there is a get together i would be interested in going if the time is right for me. keep me posted.

I think that would be a really good idea. I'd be up for it.

Thats great that you want to move....i dont want to do anything lol...been cleaning all morning. Praying for the sun..doing a sun dance...but its not working..oh well. I dont know how the bean is havent tried it....let us know what you think. LisaMarie

I'm embarrased to admit this but I don't even know what the bean is....I'll have to google it now. Maryellen I'm off to eat my meatballs! ttyl

Diane, That's great that you want to move!!! It's amazing how the WLS changes us in so many ways. Ummm.....what is The Bean? hugs, Karen

Count me in! A weekly walk sounds great. If Jones Beach is too far there is always the Boardwalk in Sunken Meadow State Park. I'm ignorant too, WHAT IS A BEAN? LOL!!!!! Barbara

This is the Bean lol http://www.bean.com/

Penny I have a treadmill and love it! Best investment I made for me. You can get Leslie Sansone walking tapes or CD's. They go in your VCR or DVD player...it is a walking fitness program for indoors and it is a good one.
