I went in and saw my doctor. He asked all the usual questions. He is so supportive. I totally picked the right surgeon!
He said I was ahead of the game on my weight loss. That is great because I was worried that I was slow.
He told me that I did not have to join a gym that since I had my treadmill that all I really needed was a "core ball" and about 20 lbs or hand weights and I could do it at home. YEAH!!!
I asked him about streching my stomach and told me that it was hard to do. That I would have to eat to the point of making myself sick to do it. That made me feel much better. I don't eat to the point of really getting "full" and only eat my meals on a saucer anyway.
So, I really feel more empowered!
