Found My Walking Partner!



Recommended Posts

I'm finished all my pre-op testing and all I need to do I collect all the clearance letters and take them to the surgeon's office to be submitted to insurance. My ins requires no diet or weightloss prior to surgery so unfortunately I haven't exercised one bit. However, I did lose 17 lbs by just replacing all sodas and juice with Water. Today, my husband woke me up and told me he found a puppy! He is the cutest, little (albeit dirty) Maltese (I think) Having him inspired me to go for the first walk I've taken in over 6 months. Usually walking a block tires me out but lo and behold 45 mins later, we were still walking and I feel tired but great! Will post pics after I've taken him to the groomer and get his vaccinations. I feel like I have a walking partner now and a reason to walk! It may not seem like a big deal but I just wanted to share. Thanks for reading!

The key to starting a life long walking addiction? Get a four legged, fur covered friend! I cannot imagine my life, much less my walking, without my black lab. Best therapy there is!!!

He's 6 yrs old. In pretty good health. Tail was previously broken nd didn't heal properly so it's curled. . Has an ear infection which I have antibiotics for. I got him all his shots. I despise ppl that mistreat animals. I'm glad he's mine cuz he's a sweetheart.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
