Eleven days....

It has been an up and down week and a bit, but things are going pretty well.  Am down 19 pounds, got the okay to have a bath (awesome), am up to half an hour on treadmill, and actually went to the mall today.  I am tired at times, nauseous at times, but also better able to get around, not submerged in a sugar coma and more even tempered.  Overall, things are going well. See surgeon on the 9th regarding severe GERD symptoms that are still present, but saw my family doctor today and was told this will get better as I lose weight.  Overall feeling hopeful and proud.

Good for you for rocking the treadmill! I've really got to get my butt in gear. No more excuses!:)

Thanks.... I still don't love the idea of making the effort, but once I get the music in my ears, and the running shoes going, it does feel great.  You will rock the treadmill too!! You know you will.  :)

Glad all is going so well. Hope the GERD goes away. Perhaps they can give you something to help in mean time

Thanks Patm.  I am still on the post surgery medication used to prevent ulcers and the like, and got the go ahead from my doctor to take ranitidine when necessary.  Thanks for the good wishes.  Cant complain to much about it, what I have gained from the experience far outweighs the residuals of my prior life.
