I think I am going to actually make the challenge. I haven't been keeping up on documenting but I am getting in a workout at least every other day. It is hard now that I am back on liquids again. I just don't seem to have any energy now.

Hi Crazy Ates,

Excellent thread -- and highly motivating!!!

I just returned from workout #7 -- I joined the challenge rather late in the month so I will definitely be doing extra workouts to make up for lost time.

Have a great week!!!

Salsa, you're doing a great job of getting the exercise in even with your busy schedule. I hope you're back on solids and feeling more energetic. Keep up the good work.

I walked for 1 hr. 15 minutes today. My new walking shoes are great!

I am feeling better and back on solid foods. Things still seem to get stuck, but as long as I eat really slow and chew a bizillion times, I seem to be okay. There are some days that I just can't eat solids so I just do liquids. At least I know my 17,000$ is working:clap2:. I walked last night for 35 minutes. I MADE THE CHALLENGE!

      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.
