A friend of mine told me she was going to start a walking group at a local 2 mile trail. We've gone the past 3 days in a row now, and our time is getting lower each day. I was quite surprised because she weighs less than me, but I'm way faster and I don't need to stop for breaks like she does. Plus she keeps telling me how sore she is afterward, and I haven't been at all. I had no idea I could be in better shape than someone else, lol. Maybe next week it'll turn into 2 laps, and then a slow jog
My scale informed me this morning that I'm officially 20.4 down from the day I started my pre-op diet (3 weeks and 2 days ago). Tomorrow is my 3 weeks since surgery. I'm feeling good, eating different things all the time, but being very careful with my chewing and listening to my body. I have not started to exercise yet, but my friend informed me yesterday that she's starting a walking group, and we will start walking this afternoon if it's not raining.
I'm feeling really great about
Well I'm 12 days post-op and ready to get rid of these stitches! However, this is an extremely difficult task! They are almost healed into the wounds now, and I'm having to dig each one out. It is not fun!! Plus it's taking forever. I've got 2 of the 5 wounds done... uggggg.....
Where did the past month go? It seemed like such a long way out when I scheduled the surgery. I fly out tomorrow and have surgery on Wednesday. I am incredibly less nervous that I expected. That may change when I get on the plane or arrive in Mexico, we'll see. I am just ready for my new life to begin!
It's day 2 of my liquid diet and I've only felt a few little hunger pangs last night while I laid in bed. I am incredibly tired though, probably from such a dramatic decrease in calorie
A few days ago I was finally able to book my surgery! I am super excited, albeit nervous, and kind of unsure of who I should share my news with. I have told my best friend, boyfriend, and 13 year old daughter. Part of me really wants to tell more people so I can have more of a support system, people to talk to about this... but part of me is embarrassed. I fear the reaction I will get from the unsupportive people. I think I will hear a lot of people tell me I don't need surgery to get control of
