  1. I am 20 days post op. Yay! I notice I lost weight (expected) however because I can not lift weights, my arms are sort of hangy. I also haven't had the energy to actually work out, but I've been restless. I guess that's my body saying you should work out Cassy...right? I'm a bit nervous due to occasional lightheadedness which is due to dehydration. However, I feel I need to start working out now. I've never had any form of surgery until this Gastric Bypass, and honestly it threw me for a loop regarding my recovery. I've never felt so weak or helpless. Everyday I get better and feel better, but I have to do better with my water intake. My body is not use to not drinking water. I crave it, I just can't get it all in the way I want. I'm still on the pureed stage, but I don't think I'm doing this right. One day at a time right? :-\

      My doctor said wait 6 weeks before lifting. I also have a weaker upper body strength area, so its my problem area. I expect my arms to be loose and hangy before I get to tone, but I have a feeling that it may be an area I may consider getting skin surgery for.

      Oh ok. That is something that keeps me from wls. Im trying to look at the bigger picture and focus on the health benefits. But I gotta be honest and say the fear of the loose skin haunts me. :blink: But I'm seeing that even if I somehow manage to lose weight without wls, I am still going to have a lot of loose skin. Thanks for sharing your progress
