NONE! Help me. I need some motivation. My Dr. Wants me walking 40 mins. a day and on my best days, I have gotten close, but it's not routine yet. I can't fathom walking that much right now when I get light headed just walking upstairs at home or trying to load the dishwasher. I am 7 weeks out from surgery, but have had some complications that kept me in and out of the hospital for over 5 weeks. I feel like I'm just getting started. How did you all get started in the beginning?

It took me almost 2 months before I could do anything. I wouldn't worry about getting to 40 so soon. The doc means well but we know our bodies better. I remember only being about to do the elliptical for 10 minutes when I first started & now I am up to a hour. I am almost 5 months out. You will get there in time but don't rush. I did in the beginning & it set me back weeks.

How is hip hop abs going? I was thinking about trying it. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

It's tough but almost fun since it's kind of dancing.

I'm excited for my Doctors appointment tomorrow 3 months post op. Down 87 lbs since my first appointment with the doc. Down 70 since surgery. :)

Knock on wood I've been blessed. I haven't had any dumping syndrome and not tossing my Cookies. But, I haven't had any breads, rice, pastas. I'm feeling good. :)

Went out and walked 4 miles and enjoyed the fall colors :)

Best part, going up the hill was not a struggle, not even huffing or puffing :)

Here is a suggestion for those that are having a hard time making it to the gym because of work or whatever maybe going on in your life at the time. I have a stationary bike, a mini trampoline, mini stair stepper, resistance bands, weights not to mention several different work lit videos that I use here at home. It's cheaper to do this at home in my option and you can do it when you can a little more easier that way too. I'm 3 years post op now and I haven't stepped a foot into a gym.

      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.
