I haven't completely tried it, but I been walking distance alot more and been having pain on my ankle and hamstring. I know that has to do with all the extra weight but it's discouraging

Tempted to do this....I've run some 5Ks in the past, but only one of them post-sleeve. I hate running, but there's been a lot of talk about adding runs to our Crossfit workouts now that the weather is better, so I should probably start training a bit before I totally embarrass myself when the next workout starts with a 2-mile run. I think I'll start with week 4 today....

I did fairly well with week 4 day 1, but this morning I did day 2 and did awful. I don't know if it's because I'm not a morning person and don't usually work out in the AM or because I did it on an empty stomach or what. Oh well, at least I did something, I suppose!

Running in the morning is difficult for me. I know it has to do with my glycogen stores ... the amount of energy my body has quick access to for exercise. I run a lot and do races, too. On race day, I usually will wake up 2 hours before and start eating. The day before is ridiculous ... the amount of food I eat ... But, I need it if I am going to be able to exercise at any descent level. I have a blog where I post about my experiences with nutrition and exercise. There is a link in my signature below.

When I had access to a gym I did this for a few weeks (I had to redo the first weeks for a little while before I could move on) and I enjoyed it... but I'm nervous about moving it outdoors because of my shoes. I know I would need new sneakers and I honestly can't afford them (anyone know where to go for cheap but decent shoes??)... i'm pretty sure using my current pair would simply end in injury. Also, I've lost weight in my feet so they don't fit well on top of it!

BUT, those few weeks I did it I enjoyed it. I was doing it without the app and just timed it myself, which was really difficult because I had to pay so much attention. I think if I did pursue this again I would definitely buy the program or the app to make it easier.

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

        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.

      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
