Reactivate

I had my surgery 4-19-2010. I was losing like crazy in the beginning, but it has slowed way down. I don't mind that (not a lot, anyway) but I would really like to get back to my excersize routine. I know it's only been 3 wks, but I still feel so weak. I can manage to walk the dog up and down the hills alright. However, by the time I'm at the top of my own stairs, I'm out of breath. Keep in mind, I didn't lose my breath when I was 47 pounds heavier. Anyone know how long this weakness will continue?

Hi! I'm still in pre-op for the sleeve surgery, and I'm anticipating a surgery date in March. I was encouraged to discuss experiences in a forum, and there doesn't seem to be any "in person" formal meetings in Sacramento. I'll be 37 in a few weeks. I'd always been an active person who exercised because it made me feel better, but I didn't get much smaller. My appetite saw to that. If I'd stop exercising though, I would gain immediately. My young son had a bad leg break in February, and all extra activites stopped. Now, I'm the biggest I've ever been at 246 and moving about is getting painful. So, here I am.
