Hey post ops. Please tell me that after you lose the weight you no longer (or have less of) back aches, knee aches, foot pain, and other crap that comes aling with carrying such a load!!

Yup, it's true. Now all of my aches and pains come from overdoing it at the gym, pushing myself too hard on a run, or changing up my workout routine. there's something satisfying about self inflicted aches and pains from exercising vs being sore from being overweight.

Absolutely! I'm also not hot-flashing like I used to. It's a gentle warm nudge instead of a hot sledgehammer to the face.

You can get rid out those aches and pains even while you are still fat. I started yoga years ago and those pains go away if you practice for just a half hour s day. Your body needs to be stretched out no matter what weight you are. Don't wait for the operation to start getting in shape.
