Scoutingismylife!

I have to brag a little bit here.... I am six weeks post op and work two jobs. My part time job is commissioner at a boy scout camp. I am a jack of all trades master at none: conducting trainings, maintenance, business management, etc....
A few of the directors knew I had the gastric bypass RNY, the staff does not know and continued to hassle me when I told them I wanted to do the mile swim. I had no conditioning or prior training so with it being the fourth of July and having off from my full time job I proceeded to do the mile swim. I COMPLETED the swim in HALF HOUR and could have done two miles!!
It was the most athletic thing I've done my entire life and can't wait to continue to exercise and enjoy the new me!!!!
Never let anyone tell you "No!" and be persistent enough to prove them wrong!
Not to mention swimming is a very relaxing and great exercise routine!
Veni, Vedi, Vichi!!!!!
Labor Omnia Vincit- hard work conquers all!!!

Ok rant over! Thanks for listening.

The thing that bothers me the most is when someone says ahhh u don't need that surgery just don't eat or do it on Ur own errrrr people just don't understand .

Had surgery at 7:30a today. Was two and a half hours long and I am walking laps around the hospital floor!
Still alot of discomfort but can't wait to get home tomorrow afternoon!

This has been the longest five months of my life. Brought on by one of the toughest past year of my life! I can not wait to start a new lease on life and look forward to using the tools learned to finally reach so many dreams!
I am scared, nervous, and excited!
