Turner: Glad you're feeling better. What an awful feeling.

For the next challenge, I'm really going to work at changing up my exercise program. I'm doing Water aerobics, weights and walking. I love all these things, but I think that my body needs more challenge. I just always hold back when it comes to exercise. I'm fearful that other things will be too hard. I'm going to be brave and get with the program! That's my challenge. I'll keep you posted.

Its just wonderful to be away for a while then come back and see that I am still missed and thought of...I miss you guys deeply and the support that I recieved from each and every one of you....I wanted to check in today cuz its basically a very important day for me today...Yep, its my 1 year bandversary today...I will cherish each bead of sweat that I lost during this year and each blister on my foot and tear shed cuz that just helped me get to where I am today...76.5 lbs lighter and feeling wonderful...Things are starting to turn around for me a little bit...I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel...I think that I will keep up with the other job too some just to get ahead and keep it in my back pocket for when I get to retire...Its nice to know that I already have something to fall back on in my later older saggier years...lol...On another good note, I have been staying really busy the last couple weeks...My brother actually ran into (by accident) his first true love ever from bible school when we were little kids...They have always wanted to be back together thru their lives but it just wasnt the right time either for him or for her...Now, 1 month later and we are planning a wedding for July 8th and its just like having a sister back in the family...And the big kicker is........the wedding is at my house...lol...such a great honor for me but also alot of additional work to get everything just perfect...I told her to just sit back and I would plan and set up the entire thing for her...Just give me your color scheme and be gone with you...lol...There is just too much stress involved in getting married alone without having to worry about setting it all up too...So that is my wedding present to her...A stressfree wedding...Just show up and jump the broom and be gone with you girl!!!!!! lol...And on a sad note, since I started working this second job and not having time to work out I havent been able to workout at all and have just teetered back and forth on the same couple pounds...Hey, but thats ok with me!!! I am a heck of a lot better off now than I was at this time last year at 312.5 pounds!!!! I will take my 236 anyday!!! I was just wanting to check in with you guys because you are all like family to me and I give lots of big hugs to everyone!!

I'm gonna have to do my official weigh in on July 9th because we are going on vacation next week :whoo:so I won't have a scale to jump on. I would say I'll weigh in on Friday of this week but I don't think I'll be at my goal.:) Hopefully when I do weigh in, I will be below my goal to justify weighing in late. :biggrin1:

Seems like we are chugging along well. :clap2: Keep up the good work ladies!!!

Good Morninghiya.gif

I've been into an exercise kick lately, seems like I can't stop, even when I plan to take a day off, my body just has this craving to go, so I take it. I've been alternating the gym and my 3 mile walks. I just came back from the walk.

My weight is moving very slowly down like 1/2 a pound everyday or every other day. I think the workouts have something to do with it. I lose more weight when I don't workout. But I'm enjoying my workouts and I know it is good for me, regardles of what the scales say.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
