NSV For Me



Recommended Posts

I know this is probably no big deal, but I had to post it. Tonight, I set out to walk my nightly 3.5 miles, but instead I ran the last 1.2 miles!!! Well, I actually jogged and probably very slowly, but it was running to me!!! hehehe

I haven't been able to jog for fear of hurting myself (lol) for a very long time now. I'm so thrilled because it wasn't even difficult!! Yeah!!!

Thanks for listening,

Tricia H

I can really understand what that would mean to you. For me that would come well before any weight loss. Its my dream to run again. I watch my kids run around and I'm so envious of their lightness and grace and the pure joy they take in physical movement.

For me its all about thud thud thud, my ankle and leg hurting, my back crippling me for days and my boobs hitting me in the face. And that's just from fast walking!

Good on you!

Excuse me, but what do you mean, "no big deal?" Hello! This is a tremendous deal! Do not fall into the trap of "oh, if I can do it, then it isn't anything special."

I don't care if you speed-walked (no idea how to congugate that thing), the important thing is that YOU DID IT! Excellent work!

Well HOT DAMN Girl!!!

Super Dooper!!!

You & I are on that same track- I didn't go nearly as far as you with the jogging/running - but I have been trying to jog a little inbetween each 2 blocks & speed walk the rest!

Well done- looks like I better get a move on before we check in with one another this Monday!

Way To Go Tricia!!!!

Thanks to all of you!! I feel so good about that jog and I have to tell you that I love coming to this place for support and advice. You are ALL awesome!!

Christina, you're the one who motivated me to pick up the pace! How are those jogging shoes working for you? I wish we lived close to each other so we could jog together!!

Thanks again to all of you. Vines - Thanks for helping me to see how big a deal this really was!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
