Walk. And for me as the weight melted away, it was my butt that went first but left saggy but flat.

I had mine yesterday..He said to walk, cycling is okay..no elliptical (not a fan of it anyway..lol) I have been research in some 3to 5 min butt exercises because my butt has always been nice ( can't twerk cus its mostly muscle ,hardly fat ????) and I don't wanna lose it..but after my month follow up he thinks I could get in the gym..so I am excited about that..cus I don't want theses arms to get flabby either..???? no core excerises for now for sure.

walk on an incline, that will help the tush.

I had a whole bunch done during the surgery and I can't resume real exercise till after 8 weeks.

You gals are lucky to firm up. At nearly 63yo, the sag and bat wings are there to stay. It doesn't really bother me but I'm still 30 lbs from goal. I walk a lot and bicycle.

Thank you. Yes my butt has always been firm and as vain as I may sound my figure was my first concern going into this. I want to keep my figure just smaller lol

..uh oh, I REALLY hope the butt doesn't go first....since I don't have much anything back there. My legs just stop and my back takes over from there. It's so sad.

Yeah it seems that's the first thing going for me. Hopefully the end result will be great

        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!

      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
