Marie,

My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks to do weights, I am not sure if they all say the same thing or not. Just check with your doctor. Good luck!

I read an article today that said if you walk your dog 20 min a day 5 days a week you can lose an extra 14 pounds.

I think I need to get a dog!:noidea: Just kidding.

When I am up to it. I think I am going to ride a bicycle for 20 min everyday after work, when its not soo hot.

I ran 5km outside, ouchie ouchie - my ankles and knees are sore now. Its why I stick to the treadmill but boredom has been setting in lately.

It was also extraordinarily hard - treadmill running and outside running are not the same thing at all!

      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.
