Is it bad that I am so glad Christmas is over? I am ready to get back to a normal schedule. I am off work next week and plan to get back into the gym and focus on me. Not because it is a New Years resolution but because I want to and it makes me feel good. I really have come to the conclusion that I don't like the bad food anymore that I used to love. It doesn't make me feel good. It is kind of a good thing if you ask me. :)

I am so glad it's over, I love this time of the year, but if I see another cookie, cake or candy. I'm going to scream. I did very good, I did not eat sweets but the sight of them made me sick.

I am so glad it is over! Not only is there a ton of food but I become a stress anxiety monster trying to make everyone happy and everything perfect! My finances work Christmas party was supposed to be today but it was cancelled because so many people backed out, I was so excited because I didn't have to go to another pot luck lol. So he brings home a frickin pie and ice cream! I was so excited for things to go back to "normal" lol. Oh well I didn't eat any pie or ice cream but it stared at me for a good minute.

I have had and been told by my Doc Surg that aches and pains will be common until my weight stabilizes after a year because my frame will have to adjust /compensate for the new weight distribution.

Well, my goal for this first holiday season has been to maintain my weight. as of this morning I am down 1 lb :) I'm pretty happy with that. I have eaten anything and everything I've wanted, learned that a few things no longer taste good and I don't feel deprived. I'm almost 90lbs down from last January and that makes me feel fantastic.

I will be going to the doctor next week to see if i can get a referral to physical therapy though. I don't know if it's the weight loss or residual effects from back surgery 10 years ago. My back has been bothering me again (change in center of gravity?) and since I've become more active I've noticed that my left side (especially my leg) is noticeably weaker than my right. (this is the side that was most affected by my back before surgery)

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

I can say that i blew out my PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament ) several years ago and it was a constant bother and my hip would be constantly sore since i was compensating . but once i hit the 100 to 125 lbs mark they are 100% improved.

Hope it improves!! PT is an excellent proactive approach to managing your well being

Congrats on getting through the Holidays with out folding .

Well, yesterday was my 6 month mark since surgery, so I figured I should post some new pictures. I hope everyone is as happy with their new bodies as I am (even though certainly not perfect)!

You look really nice, keep up the good work.

Hello fellow Junies, I have an update, I am 4 lbs. away from my doc goal of 140 and 9 lbs. away from my personal goal. I've gone from a size 20 to a size 6, I feel great, I look wonderful, I'm not bragging, I'm just super excited. The only issue I'm still battling is my blood pressure, I was hoping I can stop taking meds for this, but it seem as though I can't shake it, my mom has heart problems, so I guess I inherit this condition, but I'm not claiming it, I just have to give it some time, I believe and trust God will deliver me from this, well I hope everyone is on track to where they want to be. Peace!!

P.s. My husband loves the new me, because of my attitude and physical change, it changed his as well. We are loving the new us.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
