jerz 251 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm finished all my pre-op testing and all I need to do I collect all the clearance letters and take them to the surgeon's office to be submitted to insurance. My ins requires no diet or weightloss prior to surgery so unfortunately I haven't exercised one bit. However, I did lose 17 lbs by just replacing all sodas and juice with Water. Today, my husband woke me up and told me he found a puppy! He is the cutest, little (albeit dirty) Maltese (I think) Having him inspired me to go for the first walk I've taken in over 6 months. Usually walking a block tires me out but lo and behold 45 mins later, we were still walking and I feel tired but great! Will post pics after I've taken him to the groomer and get his vaccinations. I feel like I have a walking partner now and a reason to walk! It may not seem like a big deal but I just wanted to share. Thanks for reading! 1 cookier224 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted October 4, 2012 The key to starting a life long walking addiction? Get a four legged, fur covered friend! I cannot imagine my life, much less my walking, without my black lab. Best therapy there is!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerz 251 Posted October 5, 2012 He's 6 yrs old. In pretty good health. Tail was previously broken nd didn't heal properly so it's curled. . Has an ear infection which I have antibiotics for. I got him all his shots. I despise ppl that mistreat animals. I'm glad he's mine cuz he's a sweetheart. 1 Vicki Loichinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
