So today, I did something I have been longing to do for years but what too scared. I joined a gym, and actually went, got the tour, and did 30 minutes on the treadmill at a brisk pace. I didnt think I could talk myself into the door, let alone complete a 30 minute workout.

I know it doesnt sound like much, but for me it was a major accomplishment.

:P

It feels good working out. We had a new gym just open up down the road from us with a $1.00 sign up and $10.00 a month which included unlimited fitness trainer. I have committed to 2x a weeks and already met with the trainer. She was very open regarding the surgery and set me up with a good workout taking in consideration that we cannot eat a lot and have to be careful on how many calories we burn during a workout until we can increase our calories. I have just got up to 800 calories daily. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! I know what you mean about talking yourself in the door. It can be so hard when the place is full of super fit people that never had a weight problem.

Congratulations on your achievement!! Feels good, doesn't it? t took me FOREVER to go myself. I was horrified at just the thought of going myself. But after going a few times, I noticed that my particular gym has quite a few big girls which helped ease me in. Now I go whenever I want. It's also good to know that you have a trainer who's not so indifferent to your situation.

      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!!
