There is not a lot to update. Things are starting to get busy in our personal life. Both boys play competitive soccer and their spring league starts up this weekend. This means that pretty much every weekend from now until the end of May to early June will be consumed by soccer. We like it is fun!
We also have a baptism to attend for my great-nephew 4 days before surgery and then Hudson's First Holy Communion 10 days after the surgery.
Heather and I joined a gym about 2 weeks ago. I went for the first time last Saturday. I walked for about 15 minutes at a fairly fast pace then cycled for another 15. I'm taking it slow and going to ramp up my workouts. I am meeting with a personal trainer on Wednesday evening to go over a workout routine for both pre-op and post-op. I will not be able to do much more than walking for the first 6 weeks after surgery but I want to get a plan in place. We get three free sessions with a trainer so I figured I would get one in now and then save the other two once I get get more active in the gym with weights etc.
I have joined and been doing quite a bit of reading on gastricsleeve.com about the surgery and what to expect after the surgery. The stories from other "sleevers" is enlightening and inspriational. It seems the trend among most of the people that are nearing their surgery date is that they are nervous. I don't know if it just isn't close enough for me, or the fact that I am ready to enter this new phase of my life and am looking forward to this new tool in my goal to become healthy. I hope it is the later!
Until next time...
