stacechase 251 Posted August 30, 2013 Had my 2-week post-op appointment today, and I'm feeling great! Still sore at my two major incision sites (man, I miss sleeping on my stomach!) but besides that, I'm taking multiple-mile walks a day and following the diet prescribed by my surgeon. He was SUPER impressed with the fact that I've lost 5% of my BMI since the start of this process, woo hoo! I took a new photo of me (and my happy, I've-lost-34-lbs-since-July-26 smile) and loved how much my face has changed since the start of my pre-op diet. Just wanted to share this small victory, and encourage everyone to follow their surgeon's plan, get plenty of exercise, and remember to stop and enjoy the little victories along the way! Have a great Labor Day, everyone! 11 NewSetOfCurves, jensjoy28, nervousnelly and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MzO 8 Posted August 30, 2013 Congrats on your weight loss and your great victory and there will be more to come. I\m just two weeks post op too and I'm trying to get my energy level back up. I keep looking at my treadmill wondering if I can because I feel so exhausted just going to the supermarket and back. But I will not let that deter me, come Sunday, I''m hopping on. I won't know until I try.... Blessings, MzO [/url] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only stay on about 10 mins, but its getting better every day. Going for 15 mins next week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
