I'm so excited, I joined a co-ed volleyball team!!

I would never have thought, a year ago, 115lbs ago, I would be getting my a$$ on a volleyball court and running around in shorts (p.s. i hadnt worn shorts in about 8 years before my VSG).

It feels so good to move my body, I can finally participate in fun things like this!

Can't wait til January when it starts, perfect timing for me to heal from my plastics. I'm curious to see how I keep up with my girlfriends who do Crossfit.

Oh, and we have a cute name for our team..Floorplay.

Its reasons like these I got my VSG, to be able to PARTICIPATE instead of being on the sidelines, watching all the others have fun. No more!!!

I'm getting a kick out of getting to peek into your sordid..or not so sordid past!

An athlete! Frisco. Love it.

Here's to sports!

When I read the title I was like OMG she just had a tummy tuck what is she thinking lol. Whew January, hope you are all healed by then. So glad you will find something that you like, don't you go off to university in May?

I am with Frisco, I was a badminton person as well. But Basketball was my favorite. I still act like a fool pre op with the kids in my neighborhood and shoot some hoops with them, next summer I will be able to run and chase after them for the ball like the good old days lol.

LOL. Surgeon said after 6 weeks I can do whatever so im stoked the timing is right. The games will run from Jan to March, Im leaving in april. So it will be a nice addition to the exercise routine til then.

Shh, dont tell but honestly, I feel like 100% better. Thats why im trying to stay in (and on OH all the time) because I feel so good I dont want to over do it. Because I feel so good.

Being able to run around again kicks ass! Your kids are gonna flip!

they are not all my kids, my young one takes off with the ball my oldest is afraid of the ball so I play with the neighborhood kids and make some pretty good shots too lol

But yes next summer I should be able to kick their asses at it, except for one girl she is damn good and only around 13

I can't believe how well you are doing with the tummy tuck, all I can think about is my past c-sections and how painful they were. I took about 6-8 months to fully heal from them but of course we just can't lay around and do nothing when we have babies to look after.

That’s pretty cool and sounds like fun. I would love to find a good group activity, but I still have a bad knee, so jumping and running is still out of the question for me.  Lifting weights, walking and swimming will have to do for now to burn all this excess energy. I wish I can burn more calories playing poker.haha

Awesome! I recently joined a coed volleyball team too. It felt so great to be active, interact with friends and just put yourself out there. One problem: my arms were BRUISED after digging all day. Advice: bring a cold compress if you haven't played in a long while like me. But good on you! Have fun!
