Major Accomplishment!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

well as of this morning I am down 20 pounds but thats not my major accomplishment. Before this band I would do anything I could to avoid getting off my butt and doing any form of exercise. Here I live in one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world and I rarely do much but ride by the sites.

This weekend my husband managed to talk a moaning, bitching, reluctant me into talking a walk through one of our forest parks. Being this soon out of surgery, etc I had a million excuses. I sheepishly told him on the way there that we'd have to turn around when I got out of breath or started hurting.

Imagine my surprise when we started this walk and by the time it was over I had walked over a mile and a half!

I can go up and down stairs without gasping for breath now. I just did a major walk without getting winded and my hubs says I rarely snore now.

Now that's with only 20 pounds less. I can only imagine how much better its going to get!:whoo:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
