I'm joining the challenge a little late. As long as the challenge is going through the end of September, I'm up for 28 days. I can't wait to get out and get moving again.

*hugs*

Glad to see so many of us getting active. September is going to be great. I'm hoping for a little bit cooler temps around here!

Today I went for a 30 minute walk.

Welcome, brwneydgrl75 and Trish! You're definitely not too late. I made this a two month challenge because our surgery dates were spread out through the whole month of August. We are all in different stages of healing. Those who just had surgery still have a week left to join in. :bounce:

Good job, Crazy Ates!!!!

Becky and Pam- 45 minutes?!?! You truly are some CRAZY Ates! LOL :rolleyes: :becky: Go, ladies, go! :thumb::banana

I need to do my mindful exercise for the day. I'm going to be mindful to park farther and walk around the store extra while I'm out today. I'm doing much better with my band, but now I got hit with monthly cramps. UGH! Oh well. I keep on keepin' on. This challenge is all about being MINDFUL. Every day I have exercising on my mind, so it's working ;-)

COME ON, Crazy Ates! I want to see more bandster friends join in the month of September! We can do this TOGETHER!!! :whoo::cheer2::boxing:

I will commit. I just started my elliptical back. Strangely enough I don't mind doing it as much as before my band. I think I am simply more motivated since I know I will loose. I put a tickler in my signature with the time I want to accomplish during the 21 days.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
