Wow! Congrats!!

I made myself a promise before surgery. This would not be in vain. When I woke up in recovery, I knew God wasn't done with me yet. So that meant it was time to get busy learning to live again!!

All I have done is follow the plans provided and committed myself to this journey.

I walked routinely Day 1,2,3, etc. Even walked in the mall!! I started elliptical right after my post op appointment. I've committed myself to working out and watching my consumption.

Trying to take advantage of the hormone imbalance and make major improvements in my lifestyle.

I can tell you that in 4 months I've eaten out once, due to delayed flights. My wife and I spent a week in Jamaica, we committed to working out everyday and I requested special meals to be prepared.

Learned to always pack extra food. Starkist has 2.9oz tuna fish to go cups. I've taken this to basketball games, planes, work, etc.

Push yourself to try something new, your tastebuds are changing. I never enjoyed Soup, however I've found an appreciation for soup.

Sugar Free popsicles are what I consider a cheat snack.< br>
I prepare my meals and have taken full ownership. Because I'm saving so much money on food, I sometimes purchase the expensive high-end healthy snack/food item.

Always carry Water, always carry Protein.< br>
I love Fairlife Milk - high protein and low sugar.

Grocery store shopping takes time to read labels. Learn to do this.

Get comfortable taking your time to eat.

I am now lifting weights, doing cardio (I did 30min on StepMill last week- personal best!!). This morning, I did the Ladder-mill.

Go to support group!! Take Vitamins and supplements.< br>
Get comfortable setting timers, consumption is consumption. If I'm in a meeting with others I still have to get done what I need. No excuses and I'm not worried about them. I'm my new focus.

You can do this journey. You made it to post op, you can survive. You signed the medical release form, you can do this part!!!
