So basically 2 hours a day of walking? Wow... I need to get a treadmill or something. I'm a teacher and a single mom of an active teenager... I've got to be present. I know from experience even when I'm tired... exercising gives you energy...it's just doing it. Alright. Going to make it a goal... Thanks!

I have two active teens. We have spent SO MUCH quality time together .... wait for it ..... wait for it ....

BEING ACTIVE!!

My oldest and I like to Zumba, my youngest and I like to swim. All of us do martial arts and kickboxing together. We love to walk the mall and they make sure I get my 10k steps in. Rarely do we sit around and watch movies, now we get out and go to the park, to the soccer fields, to the track, to the gym... Building muscles AND memories.

LipstickLady, That is so good to hear! I love kids being active. I just have to force myself outside if my comfort place, I guess. I had started Jazzercise and was loving it, but then my son started xcountyr and I can't go anymore, so I stopped moving altogether. He has a better schedule with track season approaching, but fall was tough. He had to be to school by 5:30 (he still doesn't drive) each morning before school and was there until 5:30 at night (with school in between), then Saturdays he had meets.... So I felt like life revived around his exercising. I just have to walk while he's running or something. I just get so exhausted and have all the mom and teacher duties after. I know we all do, but I make excuses. I used to have an indoor bike and I'd Rudd for an hour or 2 each night when he was asleep. For me I think my best option is an at home thing late at night. I get too stressed with dinner, cleaning, laundry, homework, grading papers, and everything else, to try to fit it in during the day. Anyway... I live that you guys are active together. My goal is that I will be able to have enough weight off and to run with him by his senior year.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
