Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omgoodness that's an awesome compliment because no I have not had skin removal surgery.... yet. LOL

I may someday for my tummy but it's not so bad that I need it done right away.

I do not have any boobies which kinda sucks so that may be in my future too.

My arms have a little bit of damage but not too bad IMO.

I do workout, yes.

My exercises are:

Winter - snow-shoeing, cross country skiing and I plan on trying downhill skiing this year (haven't done that since I was a kid!)

All other seasons - hiking, biking & walking

Gym or indoor stuff - yoga, weight training, high intensity workouts, spinning, stairmaster, rowing, & Zumba

I workout anywhere between 3-6 days a week. Just depends on how I feel and what's going on in my life during that week :)

Thank you again for the sweet words!

@@heather5565,

Congratulations on your one year surgiversary! You look amazing! Good luck as you hit goal weight and move into maintenance. Do you have any specific plans and strategies for maintenance, or are you just going to take it as it comes? Thanks for sharing your stats and pic!

Thank you Alex!!

I haven't really thought about how to maintain... I guess I'd better start thinking about that!

I've never had to maintain before!

HA!

ACK now I'm worried hahaha I don't know how to do that, I've always been on "lose weight" mode.

Research and experimenting appears to be in my near future!

I'll have to look on BP too to see if there is a post or two with very specific tips and instructions on maintenance

Take care

thanks again!

Heather

      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.
