Say what!?!? 60 already? Didn't you just have it done? Lol. Wow!!! Are you exercising? What types, if so? Doing any kind of specific diet for your lifestyle?

Well, I lost just over 20 pounds during my 3-week pre-op (non-liquid) diet, and another 40 pounds since surgery. The only exercise I do is walk - I definitely get over 10,000 steps a day (closer to 15,000), but it seems that the scale really moves when I get over 20,000 steps a day. This Thursday will be my 3-month surgiversary, and I know I definitely need to start doing some weight training, which I hope to start this week. For now, I'll just use the weights I have at home, but as I get stronger I hope to go to a local pay-as-you-go gym once or twice a week (regular gyms are not a great option for me - the hours are absurd (they don't open till 10 a.m.) and very expensive (at least $150/month, when at best I could go twice a week).

Gym opening at 10am!? That is absurd and unheard of, especially in the states. Walking is great. Good conditioning for your heart too. I'll have to get used to "just walking". I do love my weights, but even now I'm out due to injury, so that's out. I find it amazing that it's gonna be three months already for you. It really does seem like you just had it. 😊 I'm just so happy to hear it seems to be going well for you. Keep at it hon!
