Hi

Hi Everybody, I'm missing being able to participate in the exercise challenge. I go back to the doctor on May 1. Maybe he will release me to exercise then. My incisions are healing beautifully. They are much less visible than I thought they would be and it's just been 3 weeks. I still get a little shaky sometimes and have to eat and rest. My weight is staying steady. That was a major concern. I was worried that being inactive would put on the pounds. And I am having to eat more too. But I guess if you really watch the types of foods and listen to what your body really needs, the weight controls itself. Have a great weekend. Lynette

Hi Lynette......... Thanks for checking in. And yes, your concerns are my biggest issues, not being able to exercise, which is my addiction !!!! However, I see that you are coping just fine. We miss you too Phyllis

Lynette, That is great that you are healing so quickly and so well from the surgery. It definitely gives those of us coming after you a positive experience to pray for!! Please don't hurry. You will get back into exercising soon. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work. Enjoy it for a little while! Treat yourself nicely. Your new habits are ingrained and this is a whole new life for you. The fear of going back will always be there. But don't give it power! I'm so happy for you!!! Donna
