2 weeks post-op: I can see it in my face!

[stacechase 251]

Had my 2-week post-op appointment today, and I'm feeling great! Still sore at my two major incision sites (man, I miss sleeping on my stomach!) but besides that, I'm taking multiple-mile walks a day and following the diet prescribed by my surgeon.

He was SUPER impressed with the fact that I've lost 5% of my BMI since the start of this process, woo hoo! I took a new photo of me (and my happy, I've-lost-34-lbs-since-July-26 smile) and loved how much my face has changed since the start of my pre-op diet.

Just wanted to share this small victory, and encourage everyone to follow their surgeon's plan, get plenty of exercise, and remember to stop and enjoy the little victories along the way!

Have a great Labor Day, everyone!

Congrats on your weight loss and your great victory and there will be more to come. I\m just two weeks post op too and I'm trying to get my energy level back up. I keep looking at my treadmill wondering if I can because I feel so exhausted just going to the supermarket and back. But I will not let that deter me, come Sunday, I''m hopping on. I won't know until I try....

Blessings,

Im about 2.5 weeks post op and I was so weak and tired I couldn't even think of getting on my treadmill, but I finally started this week. I can only stay on about 10 mins, but its getting better every day. Going for 15 mins next week!

You ladies can do it!! Everyone gets their energy back at different times, it seems. Even a small bit of exercise is better than nothing! Congrats to you both on your surgery, I know you'll be ready to rock some long walks in no time!

Thanks, Laura! He's such a nice guy. He was like, "Look at you! You're glowing!" Haha! I've been really happy with him so far.

WOW, thank you SO much! What a sweet thing to say!! I think I'm far from an inspiration, but I am honored that you think of me as such!
