NSV - The energy level is amazing and I going crazy with a chain saw in the yard...
I'm about 20 months out now and have lost about 185 lbs and I can't believe the amount of energy I have lately. IT'S FANTASTIC. I haven't really touched the yard for the 11+ years we've been living here - other than to mow. Well, I decided it was time to take back the yard and I've been a crazy woman cleaning weeds, cutting down scrub trees, clearing fallen wood, pulling vines and those horrible sticker bushes. Some of the roots travel 10 feet across the yard. I am just so thankful this surgery has helped me so much. I would have pooped out in about 10 minutes prior to surgery - now I'm the energizer bunny. It is wonderful. I'm doing the clearing in the winter to keep the poison ivy/oak to a minimum. I HATE POISON IVY!! Also, with less leaves on everything, I can get ahold of things better to pull them up. And finally, it's not too hot. I never thought I'd be happy to be doing yard work but wow, I'm having fun.
