This is by far the best group I have ever joined. It is hard to discuss weight problems with people that do not have a weight problem. Thanks to all of you

I have had a knee surgery and my knee just hurts, mainly bc I carry 400lbs on it all day. I keep 10lb weights by my couch and just do whatever arm exercises while I watch tv. After a few weeks I have been able to tell a difference. It seems silly at first. But now even my best friend will do it with me.

Your welcome. I was never an exercise person but something inside me click!! And when I started my pre-op diet I started doing the DVD exercise. It was a 3 mile walk and the first time I made it to 1 mile (never told anyone) I felt I was gonna die & wanted to quit. The second day made it to 2 mile & 3rd day yesss! 3mile walk. I was proud of my self. I haven't done the DVD exercise but I now walk 30 mins a day. I work out at the gym for 30-45mins. Now I can't say I love it but I enjoy it & it makes me feel good.

Well I guess I will not tell anymore friends about my plans to have surgery because this was the comment I got. Well I know people that have this surgery and they always blow back up.

they have no idea how there negativity hurts us. although its true some people regain (there's) two of them in my office, but it is also 3 that have done great for over 4 years now. the difference is their eatting habits. the two live on fast food the 3 bring lunch and they walk on breaks. but like you, i will not tell anyone else before my surgery i really can't handle the negativity right now.

Ok, soooo I took mslady's advice and started yesterday doing three reps of ten with the dumb bar, its only 5 pounds, but its a start right ? And today I'm going to repeat it and I'm going to walk for 5 minutes. I know that sounds so lame, but I gotta start somewhere. I hope your all having a good day !!

Never give 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.
