It will be nine weeks on Wednesday since my surgery so I thought I would post my progress report. I can't tell you how wonderful I am feeling. I have more energy then I've had in years, sleep great and I have lost 35 pounds. My blood pressure is the best it's been in twelve years and my BMI is finally down to a respectable number. I have no regrets about having the WLS. I am wearing clothes in my closet that I haven't been able to wear in five years. That's a great feeling.
Yesterday Rich and I took a 14 mile bike ride. I have wanted to do this all summer but had to wait until I healed. We equipped ourselves with new bikes and gear back in June and decided to really take a nice long ride yesterday. We started off in Brecksville where we met my friend Jan and road the towpath to Peninsula. Once we arrived in Peninsula we had lunch and headed back to Brecksville. It was seven miles one way. We could have taken the train back but didn't. It was the perfect day for a bike ride but unfortunately it was also a perfect day for hundreds of other bikers. It was very crowded which makes me nervous since I am not a good bike rider. But I made it without running into anyone or falling. We are going to do this on a weekday when it will be less crowded so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and take pictures.
