I had surgery on November 19. Thus far I've lost 22lbs, but I'm not able to eat much. I think I'm eating less than I should but it's all I can handle. I've begun a walking regime but didn't walk today due to the weather. I want to start doing more exercise for the abs and thighs so I'm looking for something I can do at home for beginners. I'm excited but when I step on the scale and see a very small weight increase I get nervous. I want the weight off so bad and I have little patience but I was assured I'm losing at an acceptable rate.
