I have not started a routine workout schedule yet...I know I know I really need too. However, I have VERY Active 4 and a 5 yr old that I constantly run around with, so while not structured I try to get in at least 10,000 steps a day if possible. I need to get more strength training in for sure as my arms are getting small, it's so fun to see myself as a small person now!!

On another note, My daughter (5 yr old) was hospitalized over the weekend. she had pneumonia, enterovirus and parainfluenza by the end of it all, she was in bad shape...I decided that after this surgery I am the IDEAL person to stay with someone in the hospital I rarely eat a lot (so I didn't eat in front of her) I didn't drink a whole lot (not good but I wasn' tleaving her side) and I don't use the restroom a lot, so I was able to stay by her side constantly!! I am very happy to say that she is doing great now, and I am down 113 lbs! Woo hoo!! come on Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for this year!! Thank you for all of the support! 7 lbs away from ONE-derland!

Way to go????

I am struggling a bit. I am a few days over 2 weeks post op and I am having a hard time with using the bathroom. Is this normal? Also, I struggle to get in my Water daily? Any tips to share?

[tkinsey 7]

Me too. Doctors gave me Colaces which help. Water taste like metal. But I put pineapples or frozen fruit. Just keep sipping. Protein helps the healing

[melliegates 6]

Thank you tkinsey! I keep trying to sip and constantly have ice chips. Hopefully something changes ????

Congrats on your success?? How is your daughter? Hopefully doing much better now.

[Momof2inIowa 195]

My daughter is doing much better now, it's so scary to have your little one look at you and say Mommy I am scared...I never want to hear her say that again that's for sure but the Childrens hospital out here is amazing so I am very happy that we live so close to such great care.
