Ran 4 miles today....my first continuous run since surgery 8 weeks ago. Hallelujah. It felt good to get out on the road again with a straight up run. Plus I made my goal for the month. 61.2 miles total.

I also joined a gym with a pool yesterday to start swimming. My goal is to swim 2 days a week in addition to my running so I can do triathlon next year.

MTD: 35

MTD:36.5 but I worked out like a mad woman. 2.5 hours of it, mainly upper body. Doing what, you ask me?

Trying on clothes to clean out my closet. No I didn't make it up. True story. Like, my arms hurt!

Dropped a back squat barbell on my neck 30 m ago. Did not bail properly. In urgent care getting checked out. Hope this is not the end of my fitness. Pretty painful in neck and back currently. I got a little too fast and made a mistake during the lifting part of a chipper workout.

Just got the xrays explained. No new truama. I just need to take some strong nsaid for the current discomfort. I did find out I have some pretty substantial arthritis in the spine. News to me (1st xray I have done in these areas), but does explain why my apex region and thoracic region are so stiff. There are many vertebrae fused together in both regions on the film . Any thoughts on how to fix this? I am not that old (38). I am going to follow up with a rhuematologist in the near future. I do know that 2 months of PT so far has helped my back feel better and more relaxed, especially after doing tspine roller exercises with light hand weights.

What does arthritis of the ime entail? Do you have diminished cartilage? I guess this explains some of you back and neck issues all right. Quite a lot to absorb at once eh?

Fiddleman: so sorry you got hurt but glad it isn't too serious. My orthopedist told me pretty much anyone over 30 has a lot of arthritis in their spine but maybe he was just trying to make me feel better. LOL! Anyway I've had a lot of PT for my lumbar spine and neck and it helps as long as you are diligent and patient. I think yoga is also very helpful. Staying strong, active and flexible is your best bet and you are doing all of that. Icing helps me too after working out to keep inflammation down. Hope you are feeling better soon.

So sorry you've gotten hurt! I have arthritis of my spine too, found out a couple of months ago, and I'm younger than you (36)...I do have back issues at times, not enough to bother me though.

Glad to hear that the Nsaids should take care of you, and that it wasn't any more serious than that. I have degenerative disc problems in my spine, but of course I'm older than you. keep up with the PT, that helped me a lot, and keep exercising but don't over-do it , at least that is what I was told. That being said, it's much better to keep moving, it will keep you flexible.

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

        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
