ALREADY MAKING CHANGES

[BlueDiamond]

Hello everyone

A most of you know I am due to have my wls on 18th August (pre op next week) , and rather then "shock" my body and go head first into the pre op diet (because of previous dieting I tend to come down with cough/colds/flu etc) so I have decided to already start making some changes.

I have cut down meal sizes, stopped the alcohol taking vitamins, doing walking and swimming and also I had my first aqua aerobics lesson today . I surprised myself that I managed to finish the whole hours lesson and played volley ball and had a swim afterwards. (even though my body felt like lead weight when I got out of the pool, I thoroughly enjoyed it )

This was a massive difference in comparision to my first swim , I couldnt even manage 2 full lengths:cry:.about 3 weeks or so ago . Hope no one minds me posting this I just felt today was a very positive move forward for me today , and with my op next month , things can only get better.

Thanks in advance for reading - All the best - MeJulie

I have decided to already start making some changes.

A very sensible approach indeed, and one that I've taken myself (minus the vollyball). You're going to make things a lot easier for yourself doing it this way and it's amazing how much better you feel after only a few days of doing it.

Regards, Ade.

Hey Julie

Like everyone one else I wish you all the best, and I think you should be dead proud at how far you've already come on in your fitness level in just 3 weeks. Keep up the good work and positive thoughts!

Well done on all the effort you are putting in ready for your op. The one thing to try and add to your prep list is to try to not eat and drink at the same time. It really helps if you can make it a habit before your op.

Hi

Thanks for this , tbh this was the one thing I forgot about, so thank you for reminding me , I have always been a drinker straight after a meal (& during) so this will defo be a learning curve to say the least.

All the best - MeJulie x x
