My nsv this week!

[Sajijoma 1,324]

So I've been REALLY putting in a good fight to lose weight going into surgery and to change my old habits NOW so that it's not so foreign afterwards. In June, I could barely walk across my house without having to sit down. 2 weeks ago, I nearly died going around the block and yesterday, I walked 2 miles! Seriously my heart was pounding out of my chest and I was coughing like a 50yr smoker when I got home(if home counts as the front lawn and my fat ass laying on it like a fish pulled out of a lake LOL), but I was so proud! I walked 2 miles!!!! At this rate I wonder if I can get to light jogging even before my surgery(I wish!)

So how does it feel to be so amazing ??? Thats so cool that you are putting in so much effort BEFORE surgery ! Thats a great way to start ! ( I did the same thing, I think I made all the difference ). Im confused though, it shows your surgery date as November 1999. When are you or did you have WLS ? Either way, good luck ! Keep up the good work !!!

What a huge improvement in such a short time. Congratulations. When is your surgery?

Way to go @@Sajijoma! You have the perfect motivation for this! I did the same and lost 30 pounds before surgery. It WILL make a difference for you and set you up for success!! Keep up the great effort and please keep posting!! Good luck!!

Wow! You are doing fantastic! Keep up the great work, it will only help you adjust as you said!

P.S. Thanks for the laugh first thing this morning!

Woo hoo! Way to go!!

Imagine being able to walk those two miles as if it were nothing at all! That is where you are headed! Great progress, and you are right, all of this will really help you adjust post-op. You have a wonderful sense of humor- that will also help.

@@pink dahlia I think that date must be a default if you don't put one in b/c I have seen it in lots of posts.

1999 is the default date. I haven't had my surgery yet. Probably be Oct.

Thanks everyone! I was so proud of myself I wanted to scream it from the rafters(but all I could do was sign it for the first 20 mins LOL) today was a little better still a gasp and cough, but I was a little faster. My knees aren't too happy with me though. Tonight they basically screamed at me to not go for the night time walk. I took an Epsom salt soak instead and hope to get going again tomorrow morning.

Happy dance!! That is awesome!! And inspiring. I need to be doing the same thing but as long as it's over a hundred degrees, I'll keep procrastinating!!

Dreaming of a hot summer next year where going for a walk or even jog is no big deal because I'm not wearing a hundred+ pound coat!!

You go girl!!
