Amazed at what my body can do now

  • Popular Post

I'm a little over two months post-op and I am amazed at the things I can do with my body now. I went on a 4 mile hike yesterday and was not exhausted and in pain afterward. I did not have to huff and puff when going up the small hills. In fact, I have to work harder to get my heart rate up for cardio when I'm in the gym. That is something that I've never experienced in this life.

There's another sensation that I'm having that is hard to explain... It's like I'm able to move through space with more elegance.

A third thing that is amazing to me is that my dog can pull me around a bit! I'm not the planted anchor that I once was.

    My old carcass is no longer carrying another person around. I share your joy every day.

  • That's great! I'm looking forward to (hopefully) not sweating all the time. Any exertion and I'd start sweating.

  • That’s amazing I’m so happy for you ???

this literally gave me the motivation that I was looking for! I have been struggling to just get the first pre- weightloss off. That is so amazing!! I am wanting to be right there with you!

What a post. Joy joy joy. That's the whole point :325_sparkles:
