Woo Hoo, I just got done with daily workout and feel great. When I started this process, I did like the doctor asked and said I would be committed to at least 30 minutes of exercise. I have stuck to that every day except a few. I am just amazed at how much more I can do and how much I am actually enjoying it. This is so weird but so cool at the same time. Today I did 20 minutes on my stair stepper (had to wipe the dust off of it), 20 minutes on recumbant bike, 20 minutes on eliptical, and then jogged 20 minutes on treadmill. Then worked out both arms with some small hand weights. I feel that runners high people talk about and it feels great.

I had been going to the gym for years, but most of the time it was, "gah, I have to go to the gym". Now I found kickboxing and I love it, so I love going. I do feel a little happy to go to the gym too, but I rarely go anymore, since I've been doing 5-6 kickboxing classes a week

There is nothing like the high you get from exercise...you have to go through some pain to get there, but once you are there...it is great! I ran 5 miles today and I feel fantastic! The size 12 capri pants that I bought about 3 weeks ago are kinda fallling off of me. The first 30 pounds of weight loss hardlly made a dent on me...now each 7-10 pounds almost means a change in size. Who would have ever thunk that I would be writing this?

I love going to the gym too now! I have always been a member to a gym but rarely went! I again joined before I had my surgery and barely went but now that I have the lapband I make sure to go atleast 3 times a week! You do get a high off working out, and when I don't go I feel down and blah. I feel wonderful when I walk out the gym and go to my car :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
