Imma going to try! My husband is REALLY athletic (mountain bike, rock climbing etc)

So he's usually really encouraging, but I have pins in my hip and get hip pain so he's like "that's to stressful on your hip"

Ahhh, the truth comes out - not only supportive but watching out for you!

Im repeating week 4....and I finally feel completely competent to move on to week 5. Never in a million years could I have imagined running..,under any circumstances(unless I was being chased at gunpoint lol) but I am so proud of myself for challenging myself to do this!

You are an inspiration to those of us just starting out. Keep up the great work!

Hey laura- when are you going to start the c25k instead of laying on the beach. :) All in fun since you said you would rather do a 5 k next the pool instead of on a treadmill in an older thread.

I don't know if I can run.. but want to try, maybe just a little bit at a time! I did download the app and will bring it to the gym when no ones there!!

Cool. That is how we all started : a little at a time. In fact the c25k program is designed to be progressive and you start out with a little until you are comfortable with advancing to the next step.

Well now, that changes the story...pins in your hip, might not be the best thing to go pounding the pavement. Just go slow. The first week is more walking that running. Do what you can, if it hurts stop. Use a safeword or something....

Lol "safe word" whatda you have in mind??

I was only going try running a bit!

It's funny my hip started hurting bad after I started losing the weight. It hadn't bothered me in years 0_o

But it's starting to feel a little better now..:)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
