I decided to exercise today, my doctor had said to wait a month but I figure I am close enough. I did around 20 mins and I was so wiped. I didn't even do the hard part of my routine because it involves leg kicks and knee lifts. When I stopped my whole head felt so heavy! For a few minutes I got scared, and then I remembered that my head always feels like that after my routine. Anyways after next Tuesday I am going to ask the doctor if I can go swimming, I have to build some, maybe alot of, resistance there, but I know swimming will help with loose skin.

I finally bought a ticket to return home! I am so happy, February 21st cannot come fast enough. Its hard to contain my excitement, but I do, especially because no one here wants me to leave. I love them all too, but its time for me to go.

Congrats! Feb 21 is a great day! It's my birthday...hehehe. My doctor told us that we could walk after surgery but couldn't lift anything over 10lbs or do any vigorous exercise for 2 months. Then I was released to do vigorous exercises. Congrats on your trip, it is exciting to go home and visit family and friends, but we do miss the people we leave behind. Enjoy your new journey, you deserve it! Be happy and show off the new you. CONGRATS!

Have they eased up on you any?? Are you putting your foot down?

My ticket is bought, so I am leaving. Besides my mom said if my dad wouldn't get it for me she would. God willing I will be home the 21st :biggrin2:

You are totally right, I haven't seen my family in Miami since October 1.
