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.
