Physical therapy

Mar 27, 2007

Well today was my first day doing physical therapy, to build up the core muscles in your stomach and your sides. It is supposed to help when you have to get out of bed and move around after the surgery. Today, I can all ready tell how it will affect me. I went this morning at 10, it is now 2 and my tummy is a little sore and my sides too. It is kind of exciting. The exercise isn't that hard, it takes some concentrating and stamina, but not hard. I get out there and start walking again, boy the weight will look like it melts right away, after the surgery.

I'm glad i am getting surgery but......

Having problems with patience, my daughter is graduating from the D.A.R.E program that she did in school, today and because of my size i can't fit into the auditorium seats, so I wished her well but because of my knees I can't stand for long periods of time ,so I'm not able to be there with her. I want the surgery to be here and done so I can lose weight so I can do things like watch plays, awards ceremonies, concerts, indoor movie theatres things like that. hopefully by the end of summer I will have lost enough weight to go to some fairs and do some longer distance walking. I guess I am an impatient person when it comes to something that could give me a whole new outlook on my life. I had to vent my problems or I would self destruct.

Lots to think about

My friend that first got me started on my journey, told me a relative of a friend of hers died after the open RNY, but I don't know anymore details. I know she had a blood clot. But after you here something like that, it really makes you think if what your doing is right. My sister which was kind of against the surgery to start, but now is rooting me on, said that I shouldn't let it deter me because we don't what all her problems were to begin with. I'm still moving forward, but making sure that i'm in as good of shape as I can be before my surgery date. Well any comments would be appreciated, hopefully the joy overcomes the worry.
