Three Weeks Post Op Today!

Nov 28, 2011

 Wow it has been 3 weeks already!  And already I have experienced so many highs and lows.  This is going to be a roller coaster adventure I can already tell.  

I think my expectations were a little off when I started.  I remember seeing a couple of friends when they went back to work at 4-6 weeks after their bypass surgery and they looked AMAZING!  You could really tell they were dropping pounds.  It is not happening so quickly for me.  I need to determine what I am doing wrong.  I eat next to nothing but the pounds are not falling off the way I thought they would.  Perhaps I am not drinking enough water.  (Have I mentioned that I hate drinking water?)  Or perhaps I am not walking enough.  (Have I mentioned I hate to exercise?) What ever the problem is, I need to figure it out and correct the issue.  I don't have room for workout equipment at my house and the weather is turning cold so outside timing is not good.  I have always hated going to a gym - it is embarrassing.  I need to maybe find a gym with an indoor pool. I like to swim and that is supposed to be good exercise.  I should find a work out buddy but seriously it is not something I have ever done so I don't know about that!  Hmmmm seems I found my issues - exercise.  Do I need to find a therapist to work thru this issue?

What ever I do I need to do it NOW. I go back to work in a week and 1/2.  I need to have a routine in place. I guess I need to find a gym.
