Default Walking!!
My girlfriend and I are starting a walking program tomorrow at 4 PM. We are going to a local Lion's Club Park that has a track around it. She is looking into the surgery too. She has an appointment with her PCP on Tuesday. I can't wait to get started. I actually warmed up my walking shoes today!!!

Karen~

Sounds like your in the right mind-set for WLS! Make little changes now so that when your surgery date arrives it will not be so much of a shock. I just love when I get together with my sister or daughter and we walk and talk...time flies by!

Good job on getting started now!.. As Cathy said, it is wise to start now.. your body will be more than ready to start dropping the excess weight and you'll be in much better shape for the surgery when it does happen.

I bought myself a pedometer the other day. I am looking forward to seeing the numbers go up and up on that display
