5 week post op update

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give you a quick update.  I went today for my 5 week post op follow up visit.  I can't believe that its been 5 weeks already.  I got some really good news, my Dr. removed me from Exercise restriction and cleared me to eat whatever I wanted that was healthy.

Hubby and I joined the gym about 2 weeks ago and all I could do was walk on the treadmill so I was really excited to get the go ahead for different types of exercise.  We have been trying to go to the gym at least 2 to 3 times a week.

Did I bump my head?????

So today I decided to do a Zumba class.  Well it turns out this wasn't a beginners class so it kicked my behind.  I'm proud that I made it all the way to the end.  I wanna try it again because I'm sure it won't be as bad since this was the 1st time that I had did this class in years.

I have noticed in the last few weeks that the lbs slowed down but I am loosing inches.  I can't wait to see how much I have lost once I go back for my next followup in 6 weeks.  I am happy with my decision to do this surgery.  After the 1st week it was a breeze.  I thank God that I was required to be on a special diet and so I learned how to eat and drink for 6 months prior to surgery.  I thought that I would have had a problem waiting to drink 30 minutes after I ate, but it has turned out that it hasn't been a problem. I have been saving money on food when I eat out because I don't have to order a full meal.  Hubby and I went with the gang to Red Lobster this past weekend for the Endless Shrimp and I thought that this wasn't gonna be a good outing since all you can eat to me is a maybe 10 or less Shrimp, well it turns out that I showed my card that advised the manager that I had the surgery and she told me that her daughter and sister had also had the surgery and she understood and allowed me to eat Shrimp Scampi off of Mike's plate.  So it turns out we only had to pay for 1 Endless Shrimp.  I thank God for her understanding! Please continue to keep me in your prayers and I will update soon.

God Bless you all!!!!
