When I first started walking, I could barely make it to the end of my street. I walked with a cane and every single step hurt. By the time I went to the corner and back I thought I might collapse in the driveway. But, I kept doing it day after day, slowly going a little further week after week.

Now...I walk 2 miles a day (weather permitting) and I love it. No more cane either. In fact, if I'm not feeling good, I go walk because I know it'll make me feel so much better.

Just push yourself to do it, you'll feel so much better both physically and mentally.

you make yourself go potty when you got to go

you stop at gas station when your car needs gas

and you drink when you are thirsty

so (make) yourself take a walk..long or short....as long as you do it.

i could barely walk to the end of my short driveway or down my long hall at home

but i did it anyhow.....doesnt matter how far you walk or go....

as long as you do it..

this is my encouragement to you

WE all know YOU can do this! Put your walking shoes on and go. It doesn't have to be long mileage, many short brusts to increase heart rate and then back down. Instead of using elevator to go to 2nd or 3rd floor, walk the stairs, carefully and slowly. Over time it will get easier when you start dropping the weight.

Best wishes

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
