I was brave enough to do..?

I floated the river with family and friends. Beautiful views and relaxing. So happy for to have the experience. Before surgery I would have been out of breath and worried about sinking my innertube

I'm digging the NSV - mountain climbing, took a fencing class, one lady is getting me into a dance class (which is terrifying to me). We shall see, I know I am LITERALLY lighter on my feet than I used to be.

That looks like so much fun! Congrats!

@@jenn1 - "worried about sinking my innertube" - at your current weight, your biggest worry is putting enough pressure on the tube to get it down, so you can get on top of it. That's a great problem to have.

Love your NSV ideas. You have to tell us how it all worked out.

Starting weight..oh yes staying afloat would be an issue Current weight I had to lift my butt out of the middle of the innertube lay flat on my back to reach the Water. It was the only way I could paddle and navigate down the river. Maybe I shrunk in height with my WLS.

I posted about the mountain climb here: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/346873-once-a-wish-now-done-what-makes-you-proud/ It was physically challenging, but satisfying to go as far as I did.

The Fencing Class was interesting. I made it a date. It is a tough workout. Because of the odd position you take when you do it, my butt muscles were really sore. But I won every duel.

Not sure about the dancing, but it is really important to the lady I just started dating. We joke, it is an unofficial condition of dating her . So I will let you know when my schedule allows me to go to the Tuesday class.
