I have 3 small children - ages 4, 3, and 9 months. I work in education and am off for the summer. I am up and literally running around starting at 5:30am until 8:30 or whenever the kids crash. Trying to get a good walk or any kind of meaningful exercise with them is a joke. We take a walk and they stop every two feet to look at bugs. I have to wait until they go to bed and my husband gets home from work to go out and walk. For the 3rd night in a row, I get a call from him saying he'll be late. By the time he rolls in, it's after 10:30 and I'm too exhausted to go for a power walk. Monday it was errands, last night he stopped at the gym to splash around in the hot tub because his back was sore, tonight its the street near his office was flooded so he is waiting for the clean up. I'm so aggravated!!!!! Exercise is a huge part of this and all he has to do is get home before 9pm. My mother in law does help with the kids a couple of days a week but i use that time to grocery shop, prepare food, clean, etc. I just had to blow off before I scream

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. I am so afraid that I am going to run in to this same thing with my hubby! His 2 1/2 year old lives with us and I have to be up and getting everyone moving by 530am....then i go to work...then home to do the daily routine..(cook, laundry baths etc) .he doesnt want me to go exercies until the little one is asleep...which is 8pm, I am starting back to school (as a student myself) and will have to do my online classes.... arrrghhhh... I feel your pain!!! I go to bed about 11pm....up between 5-530am.

I need about 6 more hours in each a day!!

        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!

      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
