Firs day of my week vacation , well I could have really slept in, but I chose not to so I had to go to my sons High School to sign with draw papers, done , then I got home parked the car got a bottle of Water and headed out the door for my walk up and down the street , well I did that twice and thought about doing it one more time , but I got half way through and got a call for a meeting , so I had to run back to the house I laughed when I got in and caught my breath , wow I haven't been able to run in yrs. not even that short of a distance , then I started to clean and before I knew it the front of the house was clean , it will take me a full day to clean up my son's space , I will get it done though and I guess a few trips to the trash back and fourth will do and be my exercise for 2 days at the least lol.

Today was the first day back to work after being banded last week. I made it the entire eight hour day. Although I spent most of the day sitting down, I still made it the entire day. After eating dinner this evening, I walked a mile with the puppies. I think I'm done for the evening, time to relax a bit and drink some Water.< /p>

45 min this a.m. on my treadmill. Time really goes by when I get absorbed in a show without any commercials, I HATE commercials. I have DVR'd a bunch of shows I like to watch so there is always something on I can watch, no excuses!

Another full day at work! I walked the puppies last night and I'm getting ready to do the same tonight! My puppies will be in shock, a walk two nights in a row. I had much more energy today; I think the full liquids are starting to take effect.

Just catching up on this thread -- so inspiring, the running, C25k, etc. But it's the biking that is settling into my consciousness. I am visualizing getting a new bike this spring -- one I can get up on to the top of the car on my own. And then to drive to the bike paths scattered throughout the area. I really want to do that.

Bandista,

As a suggestion

There are carriers that will attach to the back of cars via a hitch method or "on the trunk" style. Maybe one of these would be easier than putting it on top...Happy riding!

Thank you -- great idea! I have seen those. We live in a very rural area of NH with some great roads. Live on a dirt road, next one is paved, narrow and winding. Would be perfect for biking except for the cars not paying attention. So I think driving to a bike path is the way to go, however silly it seems. I find myself thinking about it all the time here at the beginning of February. That is some serious rewiring happening in my banded brain! I just signed up for an art workshop in October at the shore and the first thing I thought was, "oh, I bet there will be cycling paths!" And I don't even have the bike yet.

i wish i could do what catfish and terry do in regards to biking

i fear the seat would get lost in my big ass however

and i wish i could do the gym thing like so many i read on here

but i physically cannot (yet)....what i do now (walking and my step aerobics) is what i am doing and its working...

and its vital for anyone reading this bander exercise thread

to do what it is that you CAN do and think to yourself, i did GREAT

because you did

so whatever it is, GREAT job

      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
