Hi punkster. I hope your fill goes well. I am not sure what is going on with me. I am thinking it is sinus drainage causing me to feel so bad. I need to get to the pharmacy and get some sudafed. That seems to be the only thing that dries my drainage. I have a netti pot and it helps, but it doesn't stop it all. I woke up hungry this morning (which I haven't done in a while), so we shall see what happens. If it keeps up, I am going to have to schedule a slight unfill until the drainage stops.

what is everyone doing for exercise these days? anyone going to the walk from obesity?

I am back in the gym with my personal trainer who is amazing! She is just a little midget gidget of a gal who really knows her stuff and is very supportive. We are working on leg issues right now. I would love to do the walk, when is it?

Could we get a Lap Band Talk group going? I would love to meet some of you guys.

What do you have to do for the walk? Just register? Is there a fee?

I haven't been exercising at all I have to admit. I haven't exercised since before my endometriosis surgery. I really need to get back on the treadmill.

I would love to meet everyone too!

Good for you punkster. I haven't found an exercise that calls to me yet. I keep buying equipment and using it once or twice then stopping. I know that is bad on my part. I may have to breakdown and join a gym. I can't seem to make myself do it at home.

How is everyone doing?

on a previous weight loss plan (liquid diet) i used to go to the gym that was included in part of my plan and the rowing machine was what i always gravitated toward. The treadmill was too high impact for my feet and biking hurt my butt and legs in a bad way. hoping to stick to the plan. :smile2:

slim - you'll find something you like. i want to try like Water aerobics but i dont have time or money for that yet.

one day... :thumbup:

That's my problem. The bike hurts my butt (I bought one a while back. It is now a clothes hanger.:smile2:) I could never afford a treadmill. The places to walk near my house have too many dogs. I would love to do water aerobics or even swimming everyday, but alas, no pool. My neighbor has a pool, do you think they would let me swim? ha ha. I doubt it. They moved in about a month ago, and I still haven't met them or seen for sure who all lives there. I did see that they had a new liner put into the pool. It looks so inviting with the ball floating on top of the water. Ok, envy over. I am sure that the cost of upkeep on that thing is not pretty.

I will find some exercise that I like to do.

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

      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.
