    6 miles isn't that impressive, I was doing 12 before the surgery.
    It's not really that far. It does get boring so I try to go different routes, even make prescription drop offs, go by the post office, bank etc. I also carry a stun gun with me. Never needed it... but it makes me feel safe lol.
    I worked today and had no issues. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it but it went just fine.
    I don't even feel like I had surgery a week ago. In my mind, if I keep pushing, I'll reach my goal sooner. If I feel like I can't do it, I'm not going to let myself get hurt i'll def. stop and take a rest.

    Oh yes. I'm taking the Vitamins like crazy. Prior to surgery, I had been walking up to 12 miles a day for the last six months. The doctors have said, walk, walk, walk.
    I don't have any re-flux or gas issues. No pain. I'm not taking any pain killers. I'm doing 2 miles in the morning, 2 miles mid day and 2 miles before it gets dark. I have a fit bit and keep track of it that way.
    I want to enter the 250's this week on the scale side. I just weighed and i'm at 261.3 . By Friday I want to be around 255 to 250. I know I should be checking the scale so much, but I'm tracking progress. I weighed 274 the day or surgery.
    I'm starting to see results in my face already. Hopefully by the end of the month I'm in the 240's.

    pinkbunies got a reaction from MommyMeghan in Has anyone become single as a result of their weight loss surgery?   
    aww. That's so sweet. When I was in Mexico, a man told me a story about him and his wife. they had been married for 22 years. He said he was around my size when they met. She was a hottie and in shape. He was pretty big. He said his biggest worry all these years was that his wife would leave him because of his weight... then he said he realized that their love was stronger than he imagined because she was right there with him while he was getting surgery and told him it was his choice and she loves him regardless of weather he does the surgery or not. He told me that they both even dieted together, she lost weight and he gained. She still stood by him. He said that he hopes everyone can find their true love like he did and he was pretty dang lucky.

    when your ready to take charge and get it out of the way, its so cheap. Forgot trying to get it done in the US. Go to Mexico. You could have it done as early as next week.
    I'm sitting at home after having my surgery done this past Wednesday. I walked 3 miles today. I was going to do it in the states but didn't see a need to wait 3 months and gain more weight only so they can do the operation here for 3 times the price.

    I am looking at the bottom line... in the long term, it could save more on health insurance costs. I think more corporate companies need to realize this. If I were the CEO of a huge million dollar company in the US, I definitely would not cover WLS in the US, but I'd offer an incentive for having it done in Mexico and also have an agreement worked out with certain providers...even airline carries so you get discounts etc. That's better than nothing.
    I say I would not cover it in the US because it is too expensive. Our health care system in the US is a wreck.

    I think its intollerance. Accuse the person of being racist and their tone changes really fast. I think I received better care in Mexico than I would have at any US Hospital.
    Don't forget, we have thousands of malpractice suits filed every single day in hospitals across the US.
    Mistakes happen, but the US really can't put down the Mexican Medical Professionals.
    If I were a doctor and had the choice between working in the US or going across the border each day, I'd go across the border each day, pay less in taxes, do volume and still enjoy life. It makes cents in my head. All of the doctors in Mexico are guaranteed payment. In the US they aren't.

    I was sleeved on October 22, 2014.
    I have made what I think is a very quick recovery.
    I came home a day early. This morning I walked six miles. I'm planning to do 6 miles a day for the first three weeks and then get it up to 10 miles a day. Right now I'm doing 2 miles in the morning, 2 mid afternoon and 2 in the evening.
    The scale keeps on falling.
    Everthing is sugar free.
    Should I expect a stall even with the exercise I'm doing everyday?
    I'm planning to return to work next week which is very labor intensive, however I'm going to let my employees actually do the heavy lifting and the hard work for once. I'm going to start slow for when I return to work and maybe work from 8am to 11am daily and then take off and try to build up from there. I own the company so its not like I can get fired. LOL.
    This surgery has greatly impacted me already and I've also offered to all of my employees who my company insures that since our health plan won't cover sleeving, if they go to Mexico and pay for the air fare to and from, I'll pay for the surgery should anyone on the insurance plan need it... meaning immediate family members. I've told my employees I'll cover a max of $5500.00 for sleeving. I think more employers need to offer this.
    It seems like a lot, but in the end, I think it will make my insurance premiums go down.
