one more thing i needed to ask!!!

how was everybody with their walking right after surgery?  I am still weak I did 10 mins on the treadmill last night I am gonna try the 30 mins tonight I think maybe walking around the neighborhood will be better for me.

Take someone with you if you are going to venture out. I did Wal-mart my first week out and my husband had to come get me. I was week and dizzy. 

Hey Tricie.

Did you surgeon give you the okay to start walking this soon after surgery?  It hasn't even been a full week?!?!?!?

Have you had your first follow up with your surgeon? I walk around the office, but I limit myself to five minute increments. I see my surgeon tomorrow, so hopefully he'll give me the green light to rev things up.

I agree with Ispire, babygirl you might want to call your surgeons office cause I am pretty darn sure that he does not wanting you marathon walking this close to surgery. Go somewhere and sit on your tail.

With repect to your other post; I am allergic to chocolate and have found a host of items that get the job done.  I have a unflavored protein powder I throw in soups and in sauces.  I also to the same thing with Benefiber.

I walked around the house for the first 2 or 3 days but I have a lapband. You should get approval from your surgeon before getting on the treadmill. It's a big jump to go from 10 minutes to 30. You just had major surgery 6 days ago. We all react different ways but you don't want to hurt yourself. Drink plenty of fluids and get your strength back.   

Hey Sharee, how have you been?

Hey Amanda, I'm ready to go on vacation. I told Juanita that we've gotta hang out when our weather isn't acting crazy. Hopefully, the snowstorm will shut DePaul down tomorrow.  

Oh, so you mean like in May or June or something? LOL, You know how our weather is.
