Oh trust me.. I am going ever so slow. I couldn't do anything fast right now to save my life..literally. This surgery was definately quite rough and painful..not something to be taken lightly for sure. I'm walking over 1/2 a mile each day (to and from the bus stop), getting in around 64oz of fluids a day, protein shakes have lost their flavor.....it's amazing that if you just follow your body's cues, you can stick to what the doctor ordered..I certainly at this point take two naps a day ..not long but enough to regain some engery.

Way to go Autumn. You are doing fabulously. Just remember that the scale at the dr. will probably read a few lbs less than the one at home (due to clothing etc). I remember I first noticed my loss in my ankles, feet & hips. It was kind of funny to me. Keep up the great work.
