Finally Moving!



Recommended Posts

Okay, I'll admit it. I hate to exercise! :huytsao I have a sedentary job and I sit all day long. We have a small gym at the office and I actually got access last week. So today I decided this is the day I start:clap2: . I walked 10min on the treadmill, which for me is quite an accomplishment!:) I am going to start walking 3x a day. Thats 30min of exercise a day I don't get now. I know its pitiful to those of you putting in hours at the gym; but I was proud of myself for finally starting!:) Even huge accomplishments sometimes start small.

Congratulations! I started exercising yesterday too! I joined Ladie's Workout Express, and went for the first time yesterday, and actually enjoyed it! They have a 30 minute cycle that you do on various equipment, and the time flew by! I am actually anxious to go back tomorrow--which is really a miracle for me! Let's keep it up!

      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. 🤞
