    Default Re landscaped my whole front yard today!

    I used to be an avid gardener, but haven't done any gardening in at least 12 years. During that time, I had three pregnancies and gained a lot of weight. I was on bed rest for all three! Needless to say, after the last one, I was so out of shape the thought of weeding a garden made me want to take a nap. Fast forward six months post surgery, and I spent eight hours redoing the landscaping in our front beds. Prior to surgery, I would have hired someone to do it. Having the surgery was the best decision!

    I love gardening! Well I used to when I was a lot thinner .. lol. I bet that felt great to get back out there.

    I haven't had my surgery yet and posts like yours are very inspirational to me. Thanks for the post.

    I am looking forward to spring gardening for the first time in years! For the past few years I have done the basics and dreaded it, now I can bend over!

    I did the same thing after my weight loss I went crazy last spring in my landscaping. I'm still reaping the benefits of last years hard work. It was a win-win since I kept my activity high and improved my yard. It looks really sharp this spring and I'm ready to put on some finishing touches this year. I'm happy you are enjoying getting out. It will pay off in more than one way.

    I am not a gardener but I get it on so many other activities. I spent yesterday moving furniture and rearranging my kids rooms. I have bruises everywhere but I feel great!

    Southern Mom,
    Way back when, we used to take the stairs, then the weight came. Now 131 & 141 Days Post Op 62 & 46 Lbs down, not the best VSG results Compaired to some. However the stairs are an option, tying my shoes without a rest break is also an option.... Enjoying the outdoors again...... Priceless!
    All Sleevers Have a Great Day, Especially my Laura!!!
