Thanks! I was able to figure it out from advice given on this thread. I did it from my ipad. Never knew what the + sign was for when you click on reply to thread. :)

Ugh I need some exercise motivation. I just haven't been doing anything lately. It's funny, before surgery I was walking 3 miles a day, 6 days a week, on my treadmill. Now I just stare at it from the couch. The two weeks off while I recovered just zapped my motivation. I'm still losing weight but I think if I was exercising I'd lose more.

I just really started exercising I got a treadmill this past weekend and I am seeing the pounds drop over night. So far I am only walking about 30 min at a time but it is really helping. I a also feel better. I know it's hard to get back in the groove but make a conscious effort make yourself a new recording in your head and push through the games your mind playes with you even if you have to start out slow! You can do this!!!!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 304 GW: 150

Ugh I just had my first bad experience with food since surgery. I was eating leftovers from last night so I don't think it was the kind of food. It felt more like it got stuck. What an awful feeling!! I'm scared to eat anything now and I need to because I haven't eaten much today :(

      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.
