So, Tuesday will be two weeks post-op from my gallbladder removal! I've been unable to work out well for months because of the pain pre-op, but I aching to get back to the gym on Tuesday. I figure I'll start with light weights for my arms and about 15-20 minutes of cardio. I don't have my official post op until one month out, but this was approved by my doctor. I never thought I'd be SO excited to go sweat!!!

It's so good to hear your doing really good. Especially good enough to go sweat your booty off! LOL Welcome back I've missed you!

Thanks! I'm hoping to spend a little more time here now that things have calmed down some. I am amazed at the cessation of pain! I realize now that I've been in pain from this gallbladder for more than 20 years. I thought I had an injury from repetitive motion at the keyboard down the long muscle on the right side of my back, but even THAT pain is gone. Wow!!!

Nothing says happiness more than a pain free day. I am happy for you.

Wow, all I can say is that I LOVE THE GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent about an hour there last night. I moved very slowly through very low weights and low reps for my arms and legs, then spent a blissful 11 minutes on the recumbent bike, just enjoying the sweat. I cannot believe how great I feel now that I've actually put my body through it's paces, although very slowly. I'd have gone longer on the bike, but my incisions started bothering me, so I stopped to try again another day. My follow up with the doctor is today for my GB and I'm hoping he will clear me to move forward with some aqua aerobics and maybe a little hot tub time.
