Subject: Hi!!! FIRSTS for me....

Just had to post, I usually stay pretty dormant and lurk but I had

surgery on Feb 16th, 3 weeks today and I've had so many firsts I just

had to tell someone!! This past weekend I took my kids bike riding at

the lake for the first time and didn't get tired, or quit, we rode 3

miles up and down hills. They had such a great time and so did I. My

kids even commented that I had never ridden bikes with them before and

since the birth of my daugher 6 years ago and all this weight gain, I

rarely did anything active with them, I am usually just the watcher of

activities.

I must brag too that my heightest weight was 362, I was 340 at my pre

op consult, I was 329 the day of surgery and now 3 weeks later I am

299!!!!!! I was so excited to break the 300, I will never be there

again and although I've got a long way to go, 299 sounds so much

better than 300!!! Went to the gym and celebrated with a 20 minute

bike ride, a 30 minute tread mill walk and a 3 minute elliptical

machine struggle!!! (never could even fathom that scary machine before

this)... A good day to all!!! Carmen

Hello Carmen a fellow lurker. I am no longer a lurker either. Hugs to

breaking into the twos. I was 326 on my surgery date.

What a great feeling isn't it!!!

I was feeling so good and then I swore I wouldn't weigh again for a

week but I did and today was back up two pounds. BACK in the 3's.

It's discouraging. I thought at three weeks out there would be a

daily weight loss. I'm working out more than ever, doing things I

haven't before..... Is this normal??????

From what i have heard this is normal, the more u work out the more muscle you

gain, and muscle weights more than fat, it will come off just don't give up!!!!!
