Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Just a little update on me. Today I'm 8 weeks post-op. My life is so much different than it was just a mere 8 weeks ago. I've gone down 3 pant sizes and my energy level has increased greatly. I do water aerobics a minimum of 4 times a week (and I've got a great tan to show for it too -- that's something I haven't had since I was a kid - - a tan that is). We went camping in Pacifica this past weekend to escape the Sacramento heat. It was beautiful down there! We spent all day Saturday in the city and I walked and walked and walked and didn't poop out until about 8 hours of walking around. Woo-hoo! I was taking Lopressor for an elevated heart rate twice a day. Now I take it maybe once a day, depending upon what my heart rate/blood pressure are. Life is good. I have to say food is boring now though, which I guess is okay. I eat because I need to but I get no satisfaction out of it. I struggle with things to eat. Breakfast is my hardest (no eggs for me) so I usually end up with my protein drink. Sturggling to get water down these days too. I just can't seem to work myself back up to 64 oz. but I work on it every day. I leave for 10 days of vacation on the beautiful Washington & Oregon coast. I can't wait! It'll be nice to have a little extra breathing room on that flight to Portland.
