shoveltastic 8 Posted February 1, 2015 Hi I live in Napes and have a Feb 09 surgery date.. I'm new in town and I'd love some contact with the outside world. I'm 24...

shoveltastic 8 Posted February 17, 2015 Happy Belated Birthday! I'm going to join a cute gym in March on Livingston at the Collier Park there.. its like full of old people. I had a membership at LA Fitness before the surgery and went maybe 7 times over 4 months. Everyone there was like trying to have sex with each other... it was really awkward just being an average person there lol.. I got the sleeve and I'm very happy, I've lost 24 lbs. since beginning the fast a week before surgery. The surgery was SO painful I had no idea it was going to hurt that bad! Any my nurses were... busy is a nice word for it. Been home a full week now, walking everyday, lol I've done this workout video for bariatric patients I found on youtube twice now. I feel like a dope jazzercising but, it makes me sweat! I am not a big exerciser either but, I I'm stubborn and will get out and do it. No kids, moved back in with my mom last Oct and she has a dog. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'm subbing till I can snag a classroom next school year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
