80lb celebration
Sep 01, 2014
Well today is labor day and we had our annual church picnic and we all know how good the cooking is at church functions. I made sugar free brownies with nuts and added a scoop of Advocare Muscle Gain chocolate protein powder and you couldn't taste the difference at all. I even put them in little cupcake holders for portion control and easy eating. We had a bouncy house at the church for the kids and they let the adults go in it as well and Guess what this chic went in it and had a ball. Last time I done it was 2 yrs ago post open heart surgery and I could barely stand up in it. Now I could stand up and bounce away. I had so much fun and I even had someone take video for me. The sleeve surgery has changed my life for the better as im healthier and in fact after being off work for almost 3 years due to my heart issues, I am now putting in job applications to go back to work as a Pharmacy tech which im nationally licensed to do. I figure it will be harder since I haven't been in the field for almost 3 years but im pushing. I graduated from physical therapy last Friday and my knees feel 110% better as I can walk and climb stairs with no issues. It is something as I thought with the 60 lbs I lost when I started therapy would have made a difference in my knee pain but didn't. Turned out cause I had increased my exercise I ended up getting tendonitis in both knees. The therapy was brutal but as long as I have my mobility back im fine. Tomarrow is my 6 mo post op checkup with my surgeon and we shall see if he thinks im doing ok.
