Last Saturday I took a bad spill and hurt my knee. Thankfully nothing is broken but it hurts. I see the orthopedic doctor today so wish me luck.

At any rate, I haven't exercised. Anyone have any tips on how to get some cardio in? Or should I just take a break? Its awkward even trying some upper body weight training. Any tips are appreciated. ????????????

Swim laps.

You read my mind! I've been wanting to get back into the pool. Knee isn't up for laps BUT I can handle Water aerobics! Thanks! :)

My knees are very "used." So I LOVE aquarobics. The classes I attend kick my ass.

Take a break. I have MS. I took 2 falls in one week. One coming in the door, one going outside over a step....out the same damn door. I haven't been able to get one my knees in years. Guess how I landed?!

I've always had decent legs even at 300 plus pounds. They are wearing badges of honor. One across my tattoo that reads "never give up."

I don't want you to give up either. I want for you to give in a little ;)

You sound like me. I fall way too much. Always had a balance problem. It got better when I practiced martial arts but I was 25 years younger and didn't have aches, pains, & creaks then and had time! LOL

You are right...I do need to take it easy. I have an MRI tomorrow but just very sore. I actually got a head start on taking a break because I've taken off work till the new year! I just couldn't do the crutches. I went back to do a class and what happened??? A freaking lock down drill. So I am trying to flounder and hide with crutches. Ugh. Not good or safe especially if it had been a real lockdown. Thankfully the semester ends tomorrow so just have exams to grade at the moment. Was supposed to plan 8 gazillion other things before the new year FOR next semester but it will have to wait!!

Going over to gym tomorrow to sign up for Water aerobics. Wish me luck!

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

        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
