4 wks out.

Hi everyone! I am just short of four weeks out I was itching to get back into action. I lost 18lbs befor surgery and have lost another 20 since surgery. So today I headed to the gym but there was an open house and the place was packed so I headed back home.  And even though it was raining cats and dogs I thew on a coat and my iPod and had a nice long walk.  That is something I never would have done before surgery. It was amazing to feel my body in action and even more amazing to feel the difference that 38lbs missing makes.   I have a new way of moving and a new energy that I never had before. I think I'm hooked on exercise! and I have to admit I love it!   Shauna

Good for you Shauna.  I'm hooked too. Earl

Shauna, That's great, isn't it amazing how the little things others take for granted are suddenly huge to us?  When I was 30 lbs more ( when I was at work ) I never wanted to bring the packages to the employees where I worked ( now, I actually want to ) When I weighed more taking the stairs was a chore, now it's a normal thing, to take the stairs. I'm glad your feeling energetic ( because of excersize ) I compleatly understand ( it's all those endorpines )
