Ok friends...I am 13 days post opp and the past 2 days I have been walking 2 miles a day! WOW! I can't believe I am doing it. Just a few weeks ago I could not walk 10 minutes. I am so very excited! I feel AMAZING! I am off 8 of the 9 meds I was on before WLS, I swear the drugs made me feel even worse. Swollen and no energy. So many of you have truly inspired me and I want to be fit and healthy...able to do physical things I never ever thought I could do. This is only the beginning!

So far so good ate nice and slow and chewed the heck outta it. Tomorrow is my 2nd week check up with my surgeon I have not seem him since I was released from the hospital. I am very excited...I hope I am released to go back to work. I am getting stir crazy @ home.

You still keep me going!!!!! 2 miles is great. There is a track around the playground where my son goes to play i walk it every time we are there. I am so happy for you. You should plan a trip to the west coast. Lots of ladies like jewelery and we have a great beach.
hugs

WOW! you are two weeks out and you are walking 2 miles a day! That is freggin amazing. With that kind of drive you will most certainly do very very well.

I wish you all the best although it sounds like you really don't need any help at all. Congrats on your new found drive. This surgery can be a amazing thing if you let it motivate you which you are obviously doing in spades. I couldnt' be happier for you.

Awesome job!
