WORTH IT
Tomorrow will be 1 week that I have had my surgery. I'm feeling great. I can't wait until Wednesday for my post -op and those staples out. I haven't had any problems at all. I was a little nauseous when I got into my room, but it passed in a hour. I never got sick. I was up walking 6 hours after surgery. All of the exercising paid off before having surgery. Strength training, and the cardio really helped me to a fast recovery. I did everything the doctor told me and followed the class instructions. It is hard getting all the liquids in, but I have kept bottle of water next to my bed. I basically carry a bottle of water with me at all times. I started at 296 pounds in December, and weighed 273 on the day of my surgery. I weighed myself today and was at 269. I'm walking 30-60 minutes daily. I am excited to see where this journey is going.
