Topic: RE: Greetings and Introduction
Hi all!
Thanks so much for all your thoughts and kind words. My surgery was completed on 3/16 and deemed a success. I evn was up and walking less than 8 hours after my surgery. I had maintained my mobility throughout my hospitalization and was discharged on Friday, 3/18. I feel great!
I'd taken my RX painkillers only once on Friday and haven't used them since. I've been using Tylenol each night before bed to help alleviate the pain in switching positions while I sleep, but that's it! I've walked each day since my surgery and did 20 minutes on the treadmill today. I will be adding 5 minutes each day until my post-op visit w/ Dr. Brolin this Friday.
Including the 10lbs I lost during the liver shrinking phase of the diet, I'm down a total of 20.1 lbs (10 since Wednesday). Thanks for all your support and I look forward to speaking with y'all more often!
Cheers,
Kevin

Same here! I went from Morbidly Obese, to Obese to Overweight in less than two years.
I've never been so psyched to be overweight before!

HEY.........
THANKS for posting the pic! You are SUCH A HUGE inspiration!
I am signed up for a 5 K this Sunday, unfortunately, I have not been properly training, but going to give it my best shot! My goal is to be able to get through it without stopping regardless of how much time it will take me, although, not sure if this time around I can do so.
I'll be thinking of you......10K OMG.......your second chance at life has made so many wonderful goals get accomplished! Congrats again my friend!

Topic: RE: Tom Casola's 10K today!
Thanks Maryellen!! You were one day early, but I still love you for doing this.
I did the 10K and ran the entire thing, no stopping - no walking. I wanted to do it between 1:15 and 1:30, and was able to do in 1:14.06. I was sooooo elated!! And this comes from a person who never ran - even if I was on the couch and had to go to the bathroom ... fast !!
What really got to me was the love and support I've gotten from family and friends. It means more than finishing any race.
THANKS AGAIN!! LOVE YOU !!

Topic: RE: Im starting a garden ! You should too !
Well if you sign yo for the beekman boys community garden they are posting recipes for all the veggies that come in the pack ... I know ill have to tweek some of them but its nice to have somewhere to start! I think posting pics would be a great idea !
Topic: RE: Im starting a garden ! You should too !
GREAT idea!
3 years ago we had our back yard professionally landscaped and we kept a small strip for a veggie patch. that has been left undone.
Your post has inspired me to do so...........GRAZIE!
I will repost and encourage others to do so too. Perhaps we can take pics, post accordingly and maybe even share some recipes that we use the veggies in? Let me know your thoughts.
THANKS,
