So I am 7 weeks post op! I have lost 30lbs and about 34 inches around my whole body! This is so exciting for me. I just got a treadmill yesterday finally! I am wondering what other types of exercises everyone is doing to help get the weight off too.

I use an exorcist bike, free weights, one of those hand grip thingies, a simply Fit board, an old total gym and I chase my wife around.

I know it was a typo, but when I saw "exorcist bike" the image popped up in my mind of Linda Blair chasing you around as you pedaled the bike.

And now for the serious post. I joined a gym for the first time in my life. I've been walking, and I have a stationary bike, but the gym has a pool. I like to Water walk, and I am doing some weight training to keep from losing any muscle mass as well as tone up some flab. When spring comes, I will be doing a lot more bike riding as well as yard work.

I have LOTS of yard work. I could offer exercise to anyone who wants some. You can come work for me. :D I don't pay anything, but you'll get in shape!

What is the simply fit board like? Been thinking of getting one.

No typo. I hate that damn thing and I think that it is possessed! It keeps increasing resistance on its own.

Not quite. It does sit in front of my living room window and I wear my shorts, a t shirt that can now double as a tent and my slippers (don't judge me) I don't get on the pedals while getting my butt off of the seat because I would moon my neighbors when my shorts would slide off. I do like to do the free weights naked because Mrs. Fat Man enjoys the show!

Ha! I wear my slippers on my bike too. But I keep the curtains pulled. Mine is in our tiny foyer right by the front door. Nobody ever comes to the front door, but I am sure if I was biking au naturel, someone would show up.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
