I joined LA Fitness today and I went on the elliptical machine for 15 minutes. First time in a gym in four years and it felt good just to join and go. Tomorrow, I will aim for another 15 minutes but on the bicycle to use different muscles and do something non-weight bearing. I am thinking that the gym will be kind of like AA. All I need is the desire to get activity and to just keep coming back. Simple enough, right? :D

LOL you guys are too much. It is crazy, I gave up one vice for another lol. I gave up an unhealthy lifestyle for an active one. You want to know how bad it is....on my lunch break I workout again. Like who does that? I am addicted to the results man. So welcome, soon you will be over hear sneaking away from the family going.... I need to get my workout fix and scratching your arm.

I still have personal trainer credits. This week I am going to restart with a personal trainer.

I WILL NOT TELL HIM I HAD BARIATRIC SURGERY. I just watch reactions as I loose weight doing little exercises.

Don't tell anyone you had surgery. You could make this an awesome joke.

I purposely signed up online so I wouldn't have to go through the hard sell. I wouldn't trust their trainers to walk my dog. They just seem like muscle bound morons.

Where I am, they are great people. I just can't have the woman trainers, way too cute/hot.

Yeah, that would probably be way too distracting. Are you in Eastern PA or Western? I am in the Greater Philly area.

Good for you. I have plans tomorrow to check out a couple gyms. There is a women only center near me that sounds a little less intimidating, albeit more expensive. I could do Planet Fitness for $10 a month.

      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.
