Hi,
I wanted say thank you. This support community is so important. Many Great stories. Inspirational!!! 😊
I'm on my third week. I'm following my Doctor's orders and plan. Walking 1-3 miles a day. Some mild stretching on yoga mat. I'm usually "on the go" so relatively, this healing downtime is challenging for me.
This is start of amazing and challenging journey. I struggled so much with various aspects of weight gain and physical disabilities that contribute to weight and physical pain.
Having lost 20 lbs, I feel slightly more active and less physical pain. I can get out of chair easier and actually sit for longer periods. There is much less physical pressure on my small pelvic frame. Helps at my desk job too. Overall it will help me be mobile, but a ways to go...
I had 3 questions that hopefully help me in healing and future phases
1. Does anyone remember at week 3 if they always felt full or blocked stomach gas?
2. I have large belly. Nicely it's starting to shrink! Wow. What was like to experience this? I had it for 30 yrs!!
3. I used be active runner. Long time ago. Now I couldn't run 10 yards due to weight and some physical disability issues. But I hope I can in about half a year. Are there any here that do high intensity sports events?
Right now my stomach is so gassy at 3 weeks, I feel like couldn't even jog. I know need rest. But thinking of future. Walk is ok now.
Thank you.
