New Year's Resolution?!



Recommended Posts

I just realized I have never made a New Years resolution that didn't involve losing weight or some sort of fad diet. Now what to do⁉️ What a wonderful problem to have!

Yeah, and seeing all the ads for weight loss solutions!.. NOPE, been there done that! Don't need to do any more than I already am doing! I feel very happy that my weight is heading downwards slowly but surely, and I'm feeling better all the time.

@@Kindle Wow. I signed on just now to post a very similar thing!!! But I'll just add my comment to your post.

All these new year's 'weight loss' resolution commercials; and which weight-loss program to join; and to 'lose 5 pounds the first week,' etc. Marie Osmond. Weight Wathcers. etc. I do NOT have to WORRY myself with that stuff anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoop, whoop!! Whippeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

The FREEDOM that VSG/WLS gives is remarkable!!!!!!! And it IS freedom from the dread and the 'let me try this again this year, this week, this coming Monday, this.... blah, blah blah., knowing you're only going to fail again. We have F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!!

Thank you, God, that I decided to take the step to VSG/WLS. It gave me a wonderful 2014 and I anticipate only greater happiness in 2015.

Haha, I thought about the same thing! Fortunately, I still have a few pounds to go so I won't have to be creative this year and come up with something new, but what a novel idea- to not have to go on a major diet on New Year!

My resolutions are all about my Real Estate career this year. Nice to focus on something other than dieting for once!

My surgery was just 2 weeks ago so I still have a "fitness" goal/resolution this year because I want to make sure I do things right.

Here are my resolutions:

- Be active (gym, etc.) 3x per week when given the go-ahead by surgeon.

- Read at least 50 books.

- Spend more time with friends!

I don't have a resolution this year. More of a promise to myself. I usually do the whole diet and exercise thing too. But this year I can focus on the shopping trip I'm planning with my daughter (because I really need clothes that fit) and the roller coasters I'm going to ride with my son when we go to amusement parks and all the other fun things I can finally do this year. So excited to start this year out not feeling dumpy and ashamed of myself because I once again let myself go instead of being committed. Such a great feeling to be proud of what you've accomplished and feel great about how you look. And all the little NSV's. I've never taken so many pictures with me in them before. Hope everybody else is feeling blessed for making the best decision we could have ever made.

        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.

      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
