Energy

My energy seems to have deserted me today.  A brisk walk on the treadmill felt like a hard run.  I could barely get through my workout with Jason today.  I’m not sure what’s going on.  Perhaps just a down day.  I think I’ll take a break from the gym tomorrow.

I found out from my band surgeon that I’ll have to have my band completely defilled prior to plastic surgery.  Apparently this is to decrease the risk of the band slipping because of post-surgical swelling.  The band will have to stay defilled until I’m fully recovered, which the plastic surgeon tells me is about 6 weeks.  It will no doubt be a challenging time.  I can’t really exercise (other than walk) during that time either.  A defilled band and no exercise seems like a recipe for me to gain a whole bunch of weight.  Throw Christmas in there and I wouldn’t be surprised if I come out of it 30 pounds heavier.  I will try to think positive.
