I may have over done it a little but resting now. Doing breathing practice incentive thingy. Don't want pneumonia. Love me some pain meds. Getting up n down from bed/ bath counts as 42 sit-ups. Lol.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

Do everything you are supposed to do, but in moderation.  Be careful not to overdo in your enthusiasm over your progress.

Please keep us posted!
