Im one week out. Really pushed myself physically yesterday with shopping, putting up Christmas tree, housework, etc. Well, I really paid for it last night, waking up with soreness and pain in the belly area. So I guess when they say rest, they mean it! Don't push yourselves too hard - give your body time to heal. :)

I am 1.5 weeks out and I too overdid it. I felt like I could do whatever, but am definitely paying for it today. Rest is on the menu for today.

Tomorrow is 1 week out for me and went to the DMV to get my license renewed. Even though I sat most of the time waiting (2 hours). I was still wiped out . Listen to your body and rest when it needs you to .

I am one week out too, I almost went back to work today :blink: I decided to take days this week since I have been getting tired in the late afternoons. I started driving on Saturday and picked up my kids from school today. I have definitely given my fair share to the cyber sales since Friday! I have started putting up indoor decorations, but I know you can definitely go backwards really fast, so I am taking it slow. I go back to work on Thursday. I work at a school and get out for Christmas break on December 20 and will be off until January 7. I know it will be a very busy 3 weeks!

Wed I'll be 3weeks out and yes I still can over do it! My 2nd week I over did it n just rested the whole week. Did u know it takes a year for ur insides to fully heal? So be careful all. Resting as much as I can till I go back to work in 2weeks :-)

Today I was all Walmart shopping for 2 hours & felt tired after. Guess my body still getting used to this. Man, best choice I ever made. Beat luck to everyone!

      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
