So, to preface this FART, I live on Cape Cod, MA- where there is a beach within a 5 minute drive in either direction of my house.(Google map it, you'll see) Pre-op and post-op (weather permitting) I enjoy walking my dog on said beaches for a few miles when I can. When I can't, I've been jogging and walking interval style on the treadmill at my gym.

So today was one of those days where it was pushing 50 degrees and I got home from work in time for a beach stroll. Walking on the sand flats at low tide affords me an ample wide open course for some scenic cardio. (The dog chases birds endlessly). So I'm walking and I get this sudden urge to start sprinting like I do at the gym. No problem. So I continued the walk at 100 yard jogging intervals. This activity was unthinkable this time last year. And I did it effortlessly.

So the moral of this story is directed at you new guys who are wondering what life will be like post-op. I am only 7 months out and I have energy and stamina and confidence coming out my ass! And I mean that in a good way. The more I excercise and work out the more I want to. It feels great and I see results. What a life changer this journey has afforded me so far. And I'm just gettin' started!  Just sayin'....

 That truly is an amazing FART!  I can smell it all the way up here in Taunton!!  What a feeling and you are not kidding at the new found energy levels.  You should have seen the look on my girl's faces when I started running across the parking lot to our car after basketball this past Saturday and the oldest (9 1/2) had all she could to keep up with me and the youngest (7 1/2) was begging me to stop because I was going too fast!!  This time last year I had all I could do to crawl to my car!!  Amazing year!!

I believe it will take what y'all call a "Nor'eastern" to dissipate the stench of your flatulence.

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
