So I did it! I finally signed up for a gym. It's a new gym in my area and it opens on Wednesday. My mom joined with me and as a gift purchased a personal trainer for me:)

I am kind of nervous, this is something I could fail .. I'm doing it though! (On wed lol) wish me luck!

I also start back at the gym today. 3 weeks postop today. With my bad knees I do Water running and water aerobics. On Sat am they have a water zumba. I have no rhythm or grace but the water is very forgiving and makes me feel Im hidden. Some days i dont know how the instructor can keep from laughting and all the bouncing bodies.

everyone in the class are heavy and 40-60 yo. one older lady wears a shower cap to protect her colored hair. None of us are anywhere lean and fit. Waves and waves of bouncing fat and boobs. And the ladies talk practically nonstop between sets.( She works us hard enough that we cant talk during the set) and they pick up the conversation right where they left off. I really enjoy the Water. I just find too many excuses. My husband wont go and he is home all day alone and is looking to spend time with me. So he is not as supportive as i would like.

Lol how cute! I wish I had the guts to be in a Water class. I'm looking forward to seeing what will come with some good exercise :)

Maybe soon your husband will come around and want to join you!

        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
