Hi all,
Just wanted to connect and update. Work has me so insanely busy, that it is hard to pull away.
I'm just over 6 weeks post-op now:
1. Weight is coming off slowly, but steadily. I'm down to 268 now, which I haven't been for years.
2. I've started exercising and am trying to hit 40 minutes of cardio per day plus 3 days/week of some pretty basic resistance training...its going well (except for the expected muscle soreness!!).
3. I have not been as good as I need to be with Vitamins....will do better starting today!
4. As far as eating I'm trying to stay away from carbs and doing pretty well with it. Have been indulging on sugar alcohols a bit (ie Atkins, No-Sugar Chocolates)....not sure what other peoples experiences with these are?
5. Overall, I'm surprised at how smooth the recovery has been.....something pre-ops out there may want to take note of (obviously results may vary).
6. I've ordered a copy of my surgical report so I can confirm exactly what he did to me!
Best of luck everyone......I am loving all the encouraging stories from my fellow newbies and, as always, the great insights from those with more experience....
Bests,
R
