Finally after two weeks of abstaining from any heavy cardio workout after surgery I got back to the gym today. Much to my surprise I was able to push just as hard on the treadmill and elliptical as I did before. Now I just have to manage to wait another couple of weeks before I'm allowed to do strength training.

I bet you are feeling great after pushing it at the gym. Congrats on not losing your cardio level after two weeks down.

Thanks honestly I was a little worried that while I felt normal that the gym would illustrate that I really was short of energy because of the lack calories I'm currently taking in.

You are still healing, expect good and bad energy level days. I'm glad to hear you are bouncing back from surgery well. 54 lbs down! great work.

As soon as the doctor tells me I am all good next week, I am pulling the trigger and joining my local LA Fitness. It will feel good to put both feet back in the game of life.
