I have found a new love!



Recommended Posts

Walking!! I walk a minium of 3km a day, ususally closer to 7km. I entered a 10km trail race on Sunday. Only fell in the mud once, very challenging course with hills that took my breath away. Played golf all day yesterday. 3km in this morning with another 6km planned for tonight with my husband. I am signing up for 10km challenges every other weekend. This all from someone who did next to nothing in March! I am down 40lbs and keep my Protein intake around 80 grams per day. Only had 1 fill and feel wonderful! What a new lease on life I have! Soooo happy to be banded!!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

That's awesome that you guys have found something you really like! I actually hate walking, but can't wait until I'm able to regularly swim laps and bike!

I love swimming too but I dread the bathing suit. Hoping to be over that hurdle before summer is over.

I really like walking too, but summer in Florida makes it miserable. I can't wait until I can start riding the bike I bought last year. My surgery date in June 13th!

Walking outdoors here in MO can be brutal too! I am soooooo fortunate that we have a REALLY nice community center with an indoor track and they have childcare. :) So rain, humidity, heat..whatever the weather I have NO excuse! I'm sooo happy with it!

      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.
