*help Getting Back On Track And Re-Motivated*



Recommended Posts

Hey sleevers

I'm a month past my 1 year Surgiversary and couldn't be happier right now.... 350lbs starting weight last July 20th and now weighed today at 230 (fluctuating between 227-233)!

I've got to admit that my eating is pretty crappy lately and getting to comfortable and always pushing my limits when I eat... (stuffed/cold sweats) and its with junk.... Also can find the motivation to get off my butt and start working out...

Would like to hear from everyone that has been in my shoes and what have you done to fix it!!!

Thanks everyone

????

DO you have a picture of yourself at 350lbs? Put it on the refrigerator. and it will make you a bit more motivated. you don't want to come back to that form again....

another thing. until you don't decide what you need to work out no one can help you. we always can find 1000 excuse not to do something, but try to play some game with yourself :)

choose something what you like. let say watch the movie or listen the audio book.... and tell yourself that you can do it only when you are on treadmill or on elliptic....

this works for me. I hate to do any work out.... but I decided that i can listen my audio books only on bike :) and believe me 30 min is fly fast....

I've hated working out all my life. I decided to try going to a gym. During the free trial period, I made myself go EVERY day. I was afraid that if I skipped a day for any reason other than illness, I wouldn't go back.

A free session with a trainer, set me up with an easy routine.

At first, I was dragging myself there, just wanted to 'get it over with'.

Then it became something I enjoy. I now have a membership and go, willingly 6 days a week.

The 'high' I feel afterwards, from the endorphins, is AWESOME. My energy has soared, it is easier to do the right thing, food wise, because I feel so much better.

This worked for me, hopefully you can find something that sparks you to get back on track.

        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
