SAIL INTO SUMMER CHALLENGE



Recommended Posts

Dashofpixiedust8 I'm doing well. I'm struggling when I'm up and walking. I can only tolerate about ten minutes then I need to take a break. I keep thinking each day will be easier to walk but that hasn't been the case. I'm looking forward to being able to move freely again. Pre surgery I swim for an hour three to five days a week.

@alcn1derlndI totally understand. I'm still healing from my panniculectomy. I am still on pain meds and I am soooo looking forward to being able to do my 6 mile walks and driving myself again! I feel so trapped depending on others to get places! :( I'm a month out but it still hurts when I don't take my pain meds. Today is my first day back at work and While I'm happy to be back, I'm definitely hurting. And I have class tonight after work! Then work tomorrow. I am going to be struggling.

It will get better for you though. The laproscopic insicions are much easier and faster to recover from. I have a single 70 cm or over 27 inch incision.

      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. 🤞

      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.
