shawna29 60 Posted May 5, 2013 This may seem small to others, but I went hiking! I am pre-op right now at 359 and I managed to go hiking two days in a row! This is the first time I've ever done this. It's times like these that makes me so hopeful for my new life post op. If I can do this at my current weight, what will I be able to do when I'm on the losers bench. All of you who have shared your amazing success stories have motivated me to push myself to be prepared for surgery. Thanks to you all! 3 Chaser, ElleG and DLCoggin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of you who have shared your amazing success stories have motivated me to push myself to be prepared for surgery. Thanks to you all! That is awesome- and it's not small! I know how you feel. I am 5'9" and pre-op wt of 338 and love to hike. A couple of weekends ago I went on a 2 mile hike up and down hills, over a stream, and had to climb over some big rocks. I was worried about what I looked like if people saw me, but I did it- and it felt great! On the way home I realized that in the fall that hike is going to be so much easier, and I thought about how much different I will be in 6 months. I kinda got teary thinking about getting my life back and being able to really enjoy the things I love. Keep it up, and don't ever let anything stop you from enjoying life! 1 Chaser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
