Summer, your goal is to exercise out of your bed .I'm sure with determination and guidance you will. How strange life is. I can go to the gym anytime I want but I just can't motivate myself to do so. You on the other hand given the opportunity will probably be a gym rat.

Don't know if you had your surgery yet but, I wish you the best and I'm sure we will read positive posts from you in the future.

I am so proud of you for beginning this journey!

Make daily goals, and increase as you can. Make your daily goals specific ie: after Breakfast every day I will do ________ 10 times, Or whatever makes sense in your day. If you do small things, multiple times a day it adds up.

Maybe 10 mins 3X/day of exercise.

Also, a few visits with a physical therapist to show you things you can do now at home is very helpful. My insurance paid for PT for me, since I have a ton of physical issues.

Best of luck!!

I was just at an event featuring success stories. and someone there once could only walk with a walker and that night she carried her walker onto the stage. It can be done and it will take time just do what your doctors and nutritionists tell you

And that's an idea make a short-term goal of exercising to lift your Walker up and down. Then a couple months you can throw your Walker into a dumpster

      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
