3 months post-op

Mar 04, 2011

   Today I am officially 3 months post-op!  I'm feeling great and motivated every day.  I went to the gym yesterday & did my cardio on the treadmill.  I'm trying to build myself up for the Carlsbad 5K and am now walking for 3 minutes, then jogging for 2 minutes.  I never thought I'd ever be able to run again.  I'm not concerned about speed, just about being able to finish the race.  But, I am getting faster and am hoping to be able to complete the race in 45 minutes.  That's the goal I've set for myself and I believe it's an attainable goal. 
   Also feeling extra good about myself because of all the compliments I've been getting lately.  Everyone tells me I look great - and younger, too!  I have to admit I was shocked to see how much weight I'd gained over the last few years and how that weight had aged me. 
   I am so glad I decided to have the surgery!  Yes, I am still rather restricted in what I can eat & do have issues with some foods, but I know that if I'm patient & follow Dr's orders, it will get better.  As they say, good things come to those who wait.
