Only 4 miles today for me...I think that makes my total 62 miles.

7 miles today gives me a total of 60 after 12 days. I did start 2 days early I believe.

Ran in my new running shoes today. These are even more minimal than the vibrams. These are Zem Gear Terra Ninjas. And yes, that is a size 14 shoe rolled up in my hand. These are not for tenderfeet.

Those look not ONLY like flippers (LV...haha!) but ALIEN ones. Sheesh. Are they comfortable? Where do you do a "write up" of them?

On Amazon.com

And yes....quite comfy. And much easier to get on than the vibrams.

Ah, got it.

Glad to hear they are comfy. They still look freaky. Are there two toes put in that first part or is that just for your big toe?

Just did a 45min spin class. Holy crap! Ok now I know how much more work I have to do in terms of getting in shape but also, how far I've come. I tried spin class over a year ago when I was still 300+ and it nearly killed me. This time I could almost keep up with the skinny b$&@h's! I have no idea how many miles that translates to for the challenge, though.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2; 5 month post-op 262.6; 6 month post-op 253.2

I usually do spin 2x a week for an hour, and our instructor varies things quite a bit. Sometimes we climb, sometimes we do rollers, sometimes it's all about endurance and other times it's about fat burn. One thing I know is WE NEVER STOP. Ever. It's a heart-pounding hour of sweat.

Even though each session is always the same, 1 hour long, I've noticed the actual miles vary from anywhere at the low end being 14 miles to the high end being 19 miles. It just depends.

And I would *love* a 45 min. class. haha...the hour is brutal. AND this instructor teaches a sat. class that is 1.5 hours...too scared to try it. Been trying to work up to it and I want to try it someday... ;)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
