6 month post opt appointment today..

Well today I went for my 6 month post opt, I am down 110 since surgery Dec 5,2005. My doctor was very pleased with my progress. She asked me about exercise, and told her that my husband and I are walking every evening 2 miles. She wanted to know how long that took me and I was embarrest to tell her about 45 minutes. She told me that was way to slow. So tonite we went and I pushed myself and did it in 37 minutes. My husband was amazed ( he always walks way ahead of me cause I can't keep up with him) I don't have to go back now to see her, for another 6 months. It is always motivating when I see her. We joked about how it seems that most of my weight loss has been the upper portion of my body, she said that is where I lost the first 100, the second 100, will come off from my lower body..damn I hope so Anyway just wanted to check in with everyone. Thanks, Lynn

Hi Lynn, Congratulations on your weight loss!!! Way to go!!! Take care, Diana 379/173/?

Thanks Diana..it means alot

I'm impressed that you can walk two miles in 45 minutes! Could you do that before you lost 110 lbs? Congratulations on walking faster after being "motivated" by the doc I have lost 100 lbs and my lower body (especially my thighs) is exactly the same size as it was before I lost weight. I look forward to the rest of it coming off -- I have nightmares that I will get to a decent weight and have 100% of my body weight sitting in my thighs! I see you live in the North Bay -- I used to live in Berkeley, which is almost spitting distance from Vallejo. Do you walk in your neighborhood, or do you go down and walk by the Bay? Kix

Thanks Kix, No way could I walk 2 miles before surgery, I got winded just walking out to my car every morning. We go walking down at the Vallejo Marina, it is great. I love Berkeley, I spend alot of my teen years there walking up and down Telegraph Ave. Thanks, Lynn

thanks alot Sandra..Isn't such a pain about the weight being so low on the body.. Lynn
