Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted August 24, 2015 I floated the river with family and friends. Beautiful views and relaxing. So happy for to have the experience. Before surgery I would have been out of breath and worried about sinking my innertube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted August 24, 2015 I'm digging the NSV - mountain climbing, took a fencing class, one lady is getting me into a dance class (which is terrifying to me). We shall see, I know I am LITERALLY lighter on my feet than I used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted August 25, 2015 @@jenn1 - "worried about sinking my innertube" - at your current weight, your biggest worry is putting enough pressure on the tube to get it down, so you can get on top of it. That's a great problem to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted August 25, 2015 @@OKCPirate Love your NSV ideas. You have to tell us how it all worked out. Starting weight..oh yes staying afloat would be an issue Current weight I had to lift my butt out of the middle of the innertube lay flat on my back to reach the Water. It was the only way I could paddle and navigate down the river. Maybe I shrunk in height with my WLS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OKCPirate 5,323 Posted August 25, 2015 I posted about the mountain climb here: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/346873-once-a-wish-now-done-what-makes-you-proud/ It was physically challenging, but satisfying to go as far as I did. The Fencing Class was interesting. I made it a date. It is a tough workout. Because of the odd position you take when you do it, my butt muscles were really sore. But I won every duel. Not sure about the dancing, but it is really important to the lady I just started dating. We joke, it is an unofficial condition of dating her . So I will let you know when my schedule allows me to go to the Tuesday class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
