came home yesterday....and did my dvd step aerobics .....

while i was doing my thing, it occurred to me, that my body was working..

and it was getting stronger and healthier with each step i take up and down..

and that is what having WLS is all about.

recently read a post on band vs sleeve vs bypass

does it really matter???

get the one you want and will adhere to the instructions and GET well

each day that passes is a day lost......

is how i see it...

i have the band and plication...i am making it work for me..

if something happens, i will deal......worrying about what ifs does NOT

help......what if nothing goes wrong?? see what i am saying...

so i am getting healthier every day

exercising

eating GREAT food

and the more inches i lose, the more shoes i buy :)

checking in.......yesterday, did a lot of walking and it was fun...

whats fun is that i can (now).....walk.......when i couldnt not that long ago and now that i can, that to me is success..

ans yes with that (horrid) band i have been reading about....yikes...you would think us large people would support each other and not judge so harshly...boy is this ever proving to be wrong...and how sad.

anyhow.......that is not my business or concern...

cat/steph....uk will whip my butt and you dont need to show up as i give up now......dec line up for me is brutal....i barely got by friday......i cant wait to see how we play today at 4.....

last night we met up with some mc people and watched a band play and it was a good time

I got in a run this morning. 70+ degree weather in the middle of November. And storming some nearby now.

CG,your Tar Heels have a good chance of getting a couple players back within a month?

Keep up the good work friends and have a good Sunday.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
