Ok, enough of this bullshitting myself already! It stops NOW! I am almost 9 months out and only managed to lose 107 or so pounds. I still have 60 to go!! And why? Exercise and the LACK thereof. But this is stopping RIGHT now. So here are my goals for January: * gym 4 times a week (20 min treadmill, 20 min elliptical/rower, 20 min weights) * Saturday and Sunday: stationary bike for 30 mins * work on mindful meditation.

Anyone joining me on this fitness crusade? It is our surgaversary in 3 months!!

It is hard to believe it's almost a year

Well my surgeon called and left a message on my cell telling me I have some abnormalities that was seen on my upper GI. So now I just wait for the call back. I'm sure its just a ulcer.

I am joining you.Thanks for the invite. I have lost 87 and need to lose 37(ish) more. I have been stuck at 212 for months now, and like you, it is because of the LACK of exercise. I won't be able to go to the gym ($$$) but I have a nordic track and a treadmill and some weights here at home. No reason for me not to be using them. I want to get 12 lb. off THIS month. I have something to do the first weekend in Feb and I want so bad to be down 100 by then. Then 2 months to get the rest off. I know it can be done if I do what I am supposed to do. My 1 yr check up is scheduled for Mar 31 and I want to be at goal by then.

I am feeling very frustrated today! The scale is not moving at all and I am out of ideas! I know we stall but honestly, today I'm over it! Maybe I'm done losing but I hope not. Can't wait for this back to heal so I can exercise cuz I know that would help. I eat right, drink Water constantly and get my Protein in. I should walk but it's been too cold, and I'm super afraid to slip and fall. I can't drive yet to go to the mall and walk either. Sorry for the self pity. I'm having an off day! Thanks for listening friends.

Shame Dori man. Remember, one day at a time. You do what you can on every new day. And focus of how far you have come. This road is leading you somewhere, some place good. And how you get there is taking one step at a time, everyday.

You'll be just fine in the end. Thinking of you and Kris! xxx

Thanks so much. Today I am needing encouragement instead of being able to give it. I just dumped big time. Only the second time it happened. I was just so down that I ate some Cereal I shouldn't have and the a handful of chocolate chips. Don't know why I did this when I have come so far and never cheat! I guess I thought that since I'm not losing, I may as well eat what I want. I paid for it and am glad!

Hang in there. I'm back down to where I was before my Water gain. I wish I would dump! I hate that Nothing bothers me and when I say nothing I mean NOTHING!

I'm GLAD I did! It makes me realize that I have to stay focused and work at it. I was HONESTLY so strict about stuff and then this last week I've been having trouble. Hopefully I got this little bump in the road over with. Dumping is horrible! I don't want to go thru this again!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
