IveyinKY 9 Posted August 11, 2013 You can always take a walk, today's weather forecast in Louisville is beautiful and there are great walking parks. 2 NurseDawnRN and gowalking reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted August 11, 2013 yes walking is the best thing to do... or swimming if you have access to a pool.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted August 11, 2013 She probably isn't allowed to swim as her surgery was just 12 days ago and she is probably not healed where they sutured her. But, walking is great and you could be doing that. Slow down, you are still healing. You have lost n amazing amount of weight already, I hope that you are not disappointed that you might not get a fill. Don't rush your fills if you don't need one. Best wishes, and keep up the great work! Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricksgal_96 24 Posted August 11, 2013 That so good to hear... I was starting to think I was nuts. My first appointment is on Thursday and I have NO desire to get a fill yet. I am not hungry.... it's a struggle to eat, not physically, but emotionally.. I am swallowing fine, eating great food, but you are the first I heard say don't get a fill if you don't need one. I'll tell my doc and see how that goes :-) thanks! 1 kll724 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
