How much weight do I have to lose to gain energy?

hi again Cat!

Remember that life is a journey and some days even more so with our bands. You seem like a sweet person who is trying her best right now so I just wanted to wish you good thoughts. After having lap band surgery, I too, was put on a breathing mask for a day and I haven't any sleeping problems in the past or since. Last February I pushed myself to get outside and walk, afterwards I ached for the next day and a half! Since then, I wake up looking forward to my next 4-6 mile walk which I do every other day. While I'm out there I look at other chubby walkers with admiration because it does take courage for us to get out there and do something to improve our health! We change as the weight comes off and it can be an amazing experience.Keep up your chair exercises because they will pay off
