Back on the wagon and healing!!

Hi All,

I hope everyone is doing great!! Its been a long time since I've been on the forums. So far, I'm 70 pounds down.. and still have quite a bit to go. I ended up with a large blood clot in my right leg and had to take a serious break. Now, I'm taking Coumadin and just got permission from my doc to exercise. I can only swim or walk... so guess what? I'm doing both!! I am looking forward to reading all of the posts and getting the great advice again!!!

Sorry to hear about the blood clot.  Did you have any kind of injury or recent surgery to cause it?

I injured my leg a year before my surgery and had a clot then. After it dissolved is when I got clearance for my WLS. My doc said I was doing too much high impact aerobics and now I have to be careful with eating too many leafy green veggies.. which unfortunately some of my favorite foods.. now I just have to be more conscious of how much vitamin K I take in.. I can still eat my greens and salads.. just not as much as I was when I first had my surgery.

Okay, I was wondering how ya got the clot. 

I actually lost almost all of my weight "just" by walking.  I have since added in some weights and doing the 30 day shred. I would think some weight for your upper body would be okay also.  How long are  you on the coumadin?
