No Gym On Saturdays

Well, I did infact end up going to the gym today, but I sure didnt end up working out. My husband and I went there this morning with our daughter in hopes of getting in a good workout.
We stayed for all of two minutes and then left. I sure picked a heck of a day to revive my gym enthusiasim. It was PACKED full of people. Every single machine had people working out on it and most of them even had people waiting. Realistically, with a 3 year old, we just couldnt wait, not to mention that even if she wasnt with us, my husband wouldnt have had the patience to wait either. So, naturally you would think that I would have come home to atleast use my trusty exercise bike... nope. I didnt do that either. Today was, for the most part, a lazy day. I did a little bit of work around the house and took my daughter out to do some shopping, but other than that there was nothing too exciting going on around here.
I'm not sure if its just me, or if other Gastric Bypass patients have noticed this as well, but medication seems to work better/faster for me now. I had a headache earlier, and I couldnt find my trusty Aleve. All that was available was my husbands Tylenol. Now, Tylenol never has worked for me in the past, I have no idea why, but it just has never done the job. Seeing as how I had no other choice, I figured I might as well try again and see if I could find some relief. For the first time in my life the Tylenol worked for me... and it worked WELL. Not only did the low dose completely relieve the pain from my headache but it did it quicker than any medication ever did before my surgery. I have noticed this, not just with the Tylenol, but with almost every other medication I have taken since the surgery. Maybe medications are now absorbed faster by my body, in the same way that alcohol would be? Who knows, but whatever the reason was, this is absolutely a plus.
