Hi Everyone,

It's been a long time since I posted hope everyone is doing good.

I finally got some much needed sleep and have been really working at the the treadmill. I still need to play catch-up though.

Was able to walk the last few days, hopefully it will continue.

My weight has fluctuated so much this past week. I gained a few pounds and then they just started to fall off. Not sure what is happening there so, I am back where I started!

I've done 360! Woo hoo!

My ankle has been bothering me (long story) so I switched to swimming laps (and "running" in the pool) and I love exercising in the pool.

Welcome back MM! How was your trip?

Put me down for a total of 400 minutes. This has been great to know that I'm being slightly held accountable for doing some exercise. I'm also feeling good too!

Hey, thanks for the kick in the butt, and I have only been banded a week but have already started walking 30 minutes a day! I will continue this 5 days a week, increasing my speed every day. Thanks so much!

Hey. I'm at 195 minutes. I've begun to realize that for me - this first month - I have over estimated my ability to get to the gym and do the exercise. Lol. I'm semi-pleased with what I have done, but I know I could do better. I know I won't reach my goal, and I'm cool with that. I think for August I'm going to stick with around 500 minutes. Lol!!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
