Looks like it's working!

Congrats Man! It's exciting, I'm under 500 man, I look forward to my walks, then my daily visit to the scale, yeah I know it's bad but I 'm like a kid in a candy factory right now.

My Dr released me to the gym AND my trainer at 2 weeks. Wonder why there is such a vast difference of opinion around exercise? I was going bonkers. If I couldn't go back, I don't know what I would have done. The only thing I don't do is JUMP. I walk down 3 flights of stairs to take my dog out to read his pee mail and have been doing that for 2 weeks.

 Good for you! Walking a mile so soon, that's great. I had surgery the same day as you and it went well. I've been walking and taking stairs but I'm not up to a mile yet. Perhaps I should step it up. Your very inspirational. I've lost 5 pounds so far since surgery. So I'm right behind you. Keep up the great work. 

Its ok if you feel allright doing it...Just dont sweat to much...go walk in air condition....They just dont want you to dehydrate at this point!  11lbs...great!!!!

Smart thinking about going to the Mall. I started to actively walk last week about 2 weeks out. You sound like you are doing terrific. That was a nice size number you dropped :) Hope to see the before after pics in a few months
