Well today was my pre-op weigh in and class. Guess what the scale said.....?????? 248!! One more pound gone! I had some blood work and peed in a cup and off to the class I went. Hubs came with me and we were the only ones there so it was nice to have the one on one with the nurse. They said I have the option to stay the night the day of surgery or not, I will wait and see how I feel then.
I was hoping to jog/walk a 5k in August (about 4-5 weeks post-op), but the nurse said I probably shouldn't be jogging, but walking would be okay. What do you ladies think? How long after surgery will I be able to get back into my work-out mode?
Speaking of working out, I do a 30 min work-out on my elliptical that burns about 500 calories. I could probably go a little longer if I really wanted. I tried jogging a full mile yesterday outside and I couldn't, not even CLOSE! I would jog for a few min and then have to walk and just kept doing that the whole mile. How can I do a work-out on the elliptical that burns WAY more calories, but can't jog a mile? It's weird to me. Guess I will just stick to the walking and elliptical since I can't jog the 5k anyway.
I am now getting even MORE excited for surgery. Today kind of solidified the deal and I just can't wait for July20th to roll around!! It will be here before I know it!

Congrats on the pound gone FOREVER and I'm glad your so excited about the surgery. It will be here before you know it!!!
I would walk it. I did a 5k a little over a month post-op and could not imagine jogging the entire thing. My doc said walking only for the 1st 6 wks post-op.
It is weird how different exercises can make you feel. I have problems with walking/running right now because of shin splints, so I love the elliptical. I'm getting banded on July 9th so I'll be sure to post as much detail as possible for ya. It's cool that there are a few of us getting banded this month.
