3 weeks post-op!

Apr 15, 2009

Okay, so I am three weeks post-op. I am so glad to have the surgery behind me! I must say my surgeon was excellent. He was able to do everything laproscopic and I recovered pretty fast. I went back for my 2 week check up and lost 12 lbs. IDK, that didn't seem like much to me. Does anyone have a clue of what the average weight loss is for the first couple of months?
I am trying my best at exercising. That has been the hardest thing for me as I am limited by pain. I am determined to push through that pain as I want to achieve the best possible outcome. Does anyone have advise on what kinds of exercising I need to be doing other that walking? I am going to start water aerobics this week also. 
Thank you to everyone who posts before and after pics. On a bad day where I feel like, "how in the world am I gonna do this?", I will come on and look at the results. It reminds me that it will be worth it all in the end. If you haven't read Lissa Reed Payne's story, do so. She has been so inspirational to me. I worked with her a few years ago and consider her still today a dear friend. She has been the voice in my head saying "Go for it!" To see how far she's come....I want to be a success like her. I know how our weight keeps us in a bubble more than you will know. Well this girl busted hers wide open! She lives life to the fullest. I am so proud of you Lissa!
I cannot imagine being a tenth as outgoing as she is, but just to LIVE, not let life pass me by...that is what I want! We all can do that. Let's do it together!!
