Tiff, aren't you just the cutest thing in that baseball cap.

yeah, tiff. truly an inspiration. What was your exercise regimen like?

I didn't work out for 4 months with the exception of some walking. I only started lifting weights 3-4 days a week, and one day of cardio, and I only did that for 4 months because at 8 months post-op I had to have my gallbladder removed so and that was a full 12 months ago, and I never got back into working out.

So, I never did any formal exercising until 4 months post-op. Joined the Y, started working on building muscle, and did Hip HOp Abs one day per week, plus some isolated core workouts.

There's 2 different ways to post pictures into a topic.

1) Upload the photo to photobucket.com then there will be links given for "sharing". Copy the "DIRECT LINK" code, come back here and at the top of the reply box there is a little box that looks like a landscape picture, like a mountain with some Water. It's on the same row as the FONT (Bold Italics Underline) boxes, it's 2 over from the Smiley Face Icon. If you put your mouse over it, it will say "INSERT IMAGE". Click that box and PASTE that code into the box, hit enter. The photo will pop into the topic box.

2) If you have the picture saved, say on Facebook, or any other website, you can Highlight that photo, right click hit COPY, and then come back here and right click to Paste the photo directly into the topic. If you upload the photo to your gallery, you can also use the copy/paste technique from there. You'll just need to open a new tab or window so you can click back and forth between the 2 pages.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
