Topic: RE: Workout Week 2
just finished my strenght routine. I feel so good. I so did not want to get up and exercise today, but i am glad i did. It is so much easier to just do it as soon as i wake up.
Also thursday my sister showed up as me and the niece where heading out to take our walk. She came with us, she was astounded at how far i could walk. She kept saying 'you don't have to go back now?" and "you're not even tired are you?" I'm like i can walk farther and faster than this. Anyway it made me feel good. And my cousin actually showed up for our 6 pm walk. We did the tract at the park, it was great!

Thank you!  You are doing incredible yourself!  I have a goal of being under 200 lbs. by college graduation May 15.  I may just make it!

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

I see we had about the same starting weight and same goal.  Patience is the hard part isn't it?  I keep doing the right thing without seeing much in the way of results, so this little spurt of weight loss has really made me feel better.

It's 4 am and I am in the hospital recovering rom my surgery. I got to keep my ovaries! Woot! And they tied up my uterus. So no need for hysterectomy. This is such a relief! I was so worried they would get in there and take them and I would have to go through the change already. I am not ready for that! 

They have one concern and that is my blood pressure is extremely low. They told me they will watch this closely and if I can't bring this back up I will end up having to stay longer :( . BOO! I want to go home! I am so tired! It is impossible to get good rest in a hospital. They come in and take vitals, blood, and add things to my IV every hour.

I tried telling them my low blood pressure is because I am post WLS and went 12 hours without ANY liquids. But they don't seem to listen. I am drinking now and even having a protein shake as I type this. So I think my pressure has nowhere to go but up. :) 

I sure hope I get to go home today. I don't want to be here another minute. Nothing says recovery like your own bed! And Lord help me if one more person comes in and jabs me with a needle. I feel like a pin cushion! lol

that's awesome Joanna.  I keep waiting to see mine change too.  And I keep working out and keep eating the same way for the most part.  Patience, patience  :-)
