Mountain Walks



Recommended Posts

So I live near a mountain that people often walk it has some flat trails, steep trails, and some up and down ones too. Saturday I walked up an up/down and thought I was going to die. At one point tears were rolling I was going to give up but my car was too far to just stop... I had to keep going to get back to my car.

Took a day off and went back today and did the steep side... I thought I was going to die! But i took my mom and lil sis for support... I had to stop several times I said I can't over a hundred times, cursed, and keep going. I DID IT AGAIN! It's hard trucking this body up, and I wanted to stop but I did it. I can't believe it.

Just had to shout from the mountain top (RNY talk) my excitement! Wednesday I'm going back!

We have this some what famous gorge here called Watkins Glen if you are a NASCAR fan you have hard of it. They have this walking path that goes up to the top of the gorge and is all steps (800) in all some flat spots and then Jacobs ladder it's like 400 million steps or close to it right at the top my wife likes to try and kill me by making me walk up the last part. It's a wonderfully place to spend the day. And great exersice

I have been walking 1 mile 6 days a week so I will be used to it after surgery. One night I told my friend lets keep going. We ended up walking all the way to town and back, 6 miles. I wanted to quit a hundred times but kept going. I was sore and down for days after but I did it. Shows that I can push myself if I have to. Althhough that was a little too much at once and I paid for it, it also proves that I am ready for surgery and my new life style. Determination!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
