B2B. Not even sure what my surgeons instructions are regarding weight training, but I am not too jazzed for it since there is only 1 gym within 40 min of where I live and it is SOOOOO not cost effective at all. I am going to have to fumble at home guided by you tube videos.

So jealous. I'm not allowed to weight train per my postop instructions until 6 months out! Only walking 60-90 minutes every day and add abdominal exercises at 2 months. It seems like a long time to wait to lift weights right? {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

ya but it seems every doctor is different i was told i cant have puree foods till 1 month after surgery and solids after 2 months how ever i know ppl who had complications and are able to have them after only 6 days post op my surgeon cleared me 3 days after my surgery for any and all workouts no restrictions due to me having no pain nothing he says quote i looked like a rockstar i will tell you ive already started reg foods because i feel my body will tell me what i can handle and so far im ok its made getting Protein in easyier because i eat salmon cottage cheese and other high protein things i just wont tell my doc i started early lol

OMG!!! Going back to work (I'm a hair stylist) was soooo much harder than I thought it would be. I am two weeks out as of Mon, sleeved on the 21st. I've been feeling great but yesterday really set me back. I'm afraid it's going to be a really long week.

You might be doing yourself a favor with the YouTube videos since gyms are so expensive. What did we do before YouTube? I want the benefit of a trainer to have a person to be accountable to. I also don't know about waiting 6 months to do lower body weights. Everything will be flab if I don't get in the gym!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
