Welcome!!! I say tea absolutly counts as do protien shakes if you make them with water. Get yourself one of those 64 ounce drinking jugs and fill it up each day. Any time you have to use water in tea, coffee, protien drinks use the water from that to make it. Once it is empty you have your 64 ounces in. We are just begininning so anyway to help get it in is a good way to go.

Even awesomer job!!!! Even though I did my excercise today (2.5 miles when I went back and drove it!) I still have to do my 30 minutes of running for my 5K "training". Maybe management is a better word there lol. July 21st is coming sooner every day!

Okay. I just finished with my 25 minutes for my 5K training. For the first week I have to walk 5 minutes then alternate running 60 seconds and walking 90 seconds for 20 minutes for a total of 3 days. I am a little bit tired but I made it through day 1. I definitly need some new shoes though, these old ones are just not cutting it with the lack of cushioning. Feels good to know I can do it though.

Well I got my walk in. I actually went out with my boss and she showed me her walking path. I am not sure how far I went but I did walk for an hour and I am little bit sweaty.

I got my 30 minutes in for the day, and I'll probably go out at breaktime again, too. It's too nice outside to just sit in here...

I am here!!!! I got all my Water in today but not the excercise yet. I was so bummed that it has been storming all day so I cold not go on my walk at work. Boy did I need it today too. Funny thing is that all the stress I was having the first thing I wanted to do was go walking, not eat. It was a pretty nice feeling. Anyhow I have to hop on the treadmill for day 2 of week 1 of the couch to 5K program. I will check back in later!!!!!

Zannie, I know you are out there and I miss you!!!

I hear ya, I've been too busy to walk today, so I'll have to slog it out on my treadmill tonight. I'm on track with my Water, though.

Is it just me, or have the boards been pretty quiet today?

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
