Quick update from Citygal

citygal · May 4, 2010

So i'm 3 /12 weeks out from my band to sleeve revision. Doing pretty well. Trying to powerwalk 2-3 miles 4 times a week...Having a bit of trouble getting enough Protein in but feel good and my energy is pretty high. I'm down 21 pounds and just that amount of weight really is making a difference in how I feel.

Trying to be realistic about weight loss and not just focus on the scale. My internist wants to see me every 6 weeks to just check in. My "cycle" is way off...I was thrown off when I went for the procedure and so I'm feeling some of the "mood" challeges I get this time of month....some cramping.

All my incisions are healing nicely...I now just look like got in fight with a cat...LOL.. I've got lots of business travel coming up so I'm focused on talking care of mysefl while on the road.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy today!

Great job! Especially on that walking!

That's going to be really tough for me. Exercise is going to come very slow but I'm hoping as I lose some weight that my back will be able to take more and I'll be able to walk more.

Up till now, I couldn't even walk around the block or even just stand up at my kitchen sink doing dishes for more than about 5-10 minutes without being in extreme pain.

All I've been able to do so far is walk up and down my driveway several times several times a day.
