Took a walk today!

Steve and I have been trying to take small walks every once in awhile. Today, we circled around the apartment complex. We tried to go twice, but about 2/3's of the way around ... I got too tired. Steve checked the "mileage" as he drove the car to come and get me. One circle is a little over 4/10's of a mile. So we are estimating that I walked about 7/10's of a mile. I know it probably seems trite, but I was very excited. I did get quite dizzy, but that has been happening even when I am not exercising. It isn't a weak, shaky type of dizzy ... it's really a vertigo type thing. I will be seeing my surgeon again in a week. If I am still having that kind of trouble, then I will bring it up and see what he thinks.

I am getting about half the water that I need at the moment, but I am finally starting to learn how to sip without getting air in my pouch. That will make it easier to continue to build on! I can eat between 1/2 of an oz to 3/4 of an oz of food at a time. I eat 3 times a day and I am honestly not hungry for more.

Yesterday was the one month mark. So far I have lost 26 lbs since surgery. So that means 76 lbs in the past year. I am pretty happy about that! :)
