My goodness! You really think a month before I can pick him up? That is crazy! Hell I was mowing the yard 3 weeks after my c-section, lol. I hope what you say isn't true for me : ( I was hoping for only 1-2 weeks of being out of commission. I guess I will have to see how it goes. I mean I am not that stubborn that I can feel that I am hurting myself and keep doing it. I just planned for a much more speedy recovery.

Well thanks for the add! Great job on your weight loss! I'd say 30lbs in a month is something to be proud of! Mine is really not as bad as others I have spoken with. 2 meals are protein shakes which I adore! My fave is one I invented chocolate-cherry-banana YUM! The 3rd meal is soup, snacks I can have sf/ff yogurt, pudding, or jello. And the fact that I dropped 8 in 6 days, shoot I must be doing something right : )

I took my son for a walk before we ran errands earlier. It was only about 20 min. but hey i was walking as fast as my fat butt would let me and pushing his 26 lbs in his car, lol. Well I have already had a c-section so I don't figure this pain to be near that. My goal is 145 or a little lower and I am only almost 5'3". So I am really going to try to push being stricter on this last week. I go get bloodwork done on friday. How long would you say I would have to go without picking up my 18 month old?

HUGS, Starla

nevermind, just read u r from NY, cool, we r both full time moms' : )

sorry for my misspellings, i think i was interrupted 5 times during this message, lmao

hey sandy- thanks so much for you compliment you will be a knockout yourself : ) we'll have to go shopping together, lol. where state r u in?

thanks for your post. i have a little boy, lol, so my walking consists of pulling a wagon or pushing his car, but hey its walking. i think once i take off a few more lbs i will have more energy and i can start getting up before my husband leaves for work, and go for a nice power walk by myself. how are you doing? how much do you have to lose to hit your goal? how much did you lose in pre-op diet? how much since 9/22? are you in pain? are you hungry? do you regret? sorry i have so many questions. you know how many things are running through my head, lol, when surgery is literally, 8 days away....well i am nervous, scared, excited, happy all at once. but, i know this is the right thing for me to do, i need help, and i am not ashamed to admit it anymore. take care sandy. we'll have to keep in touch : )

-sincerely,

starla

thank you for your advice. how long after surgery did you start the power walking? i def. agree with your philosophy, if your going to do it, well then do it. you have lived it, and look fabulous, i am all ears for whatever advice you have. again, congratulations.

YOU ARE FLIPPIN' GORGEOUS!!!!! I will heed any advice you have! I wanna be a hottie myself and have my body be in good shape when I get to goal! What type of exercise did you do at the beginning? I am in pre-op diet now. I have just been walking.

You are beautiful! Thanks for your thread post. How much are you down since your January surgery? Just curious. My band date is October 8, 2009! I can't wait! Just 1 day before my 29th birthday!
