Judy, I LOVE Zumba! It's a blast! It makes my knee hurt though, so I have to be careful.

Once you get used to working out, you will miss it when something comes up and you aren't able to go. I've been working out for 5 years now, and I am really grumpy when anything interferes with my gym time. That is what made me seek out WLS surgery 3 years ago. I was working out like crazy and not losing. I am really glad I already had the habit. I freaked out when I was told I couldn't exercise right after surgery.

how do you do it? do you feel really tired at the end of the day? or is it more the feeling of satisfaction that keeps you going. your story is inspiring. i will follow your example. thanxs

OH yes I am tired at the end of my work day, BUT...after 4:00 pm is the ONLY time I have for exercise, so I have to take that time and do it. Believe it or not I feel MUCH better after a work out...the tiredness goes away. My body aches go away, and I sleep well when I get home. I cook food on my days off, and have it ready for the days I'm working out. I usually don't get home until 7:30 to 8:00 pm. I leave at 7:30 am. I work out 4 days a week. And I walk 1.5 miles when I'm home. You just get used to doing it. JUST DO IT....And thank you for your compliments...very appreciated!!!

Wow That is an awsome schedual. Good for you! I am trying to go 3 days a week. I am loving my gym time. I let too many pressures at home distract me from that time. Sounds like excuses huh? I will work on more ME time.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Zumba is my absolute favorite! I still don't have any classes near me, so I do it at home. Congrats on getting your fitness on!!

I agree. Zumba is such a blast.

It hurts my knee so I have to modify some of the moves.Sometimes I feel like a clutz because I am so uncoordinated. I can get my legs going right, but when I throw the arm movements in, I mess it all up. I love it anyway, and I do the best I can!

Judy, that's awesome that you go so late. You are really motivated.I have to go first thing in the morning when I get up, or I just won't go. I have gone to Zumba after work though, just because I love it so much. I have to go when they offer the classes.

        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!

      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
