Feb 2007 Bandsters: April Challenge



Recommended Posts

Okay I really like how Boo has set up the challenge for her group so I really hope she does not mind me kinda stealing the set up. Instead of a certain number of days per week exercising lets shoot for 20 days of movement, 30 minutes per day. The 30 minutes does not have to be consecutive, it can be broken up into two 15 minutes sessions or even three 10 minutes sessions since some of us might be very new to exercise and need it! We can do it!!!!!!

So let's shoot for 20!

I am totally on board with you guys! Great idea! I have a full time job and 2 toddlers so it should be a real challenge to find time to exercise regularly, but I am up for it. I really need to get moving!:)

I feel your pain honey! I have a 6 year old kindergartener who is also in dance and softball and a 3 year old and I work 46 hours a week. I usually get up at 4:45 in the morning to get my exercising in. The first few times it was relly rough but once you get used to it it is not so bad.

Gday Babygrl, I am such a bad Feb 07 bandster! I hardly ever check in. Anyway make it an exercise challenge I reckon. Also lets all try not to overeat at Pesach and Easter.:) This is my first Pesach being banded. Luckily we don't eat bread over passover, coz I can't anyway!

I am ready to workout!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
