Daddy that was a sweet article. With so many articles and stuff lately about people doing it without surgery it is awesome to see an article of how surgery can be and is an excellent choice for so many of us. You rock.

Hi Guys!

Well sorry haven't been around much. I did workout out Saturday, strength class, Sunday, weights, crunches and 20 minute bike (5 miles). I've had to take a few days off now cause of my little one being ill. Can't take her to the Y.

I am now using my brace for my carpal tunnel. I bought one for my ankle but it made my foot fall asleep. LOL. Not gonna work. I'm gonna buy the shoe inserts like the doctor suggested. Ugh I feel like my body is letting me down.

Heyy Daddy thats sooo cool about that article. Your famous :rolleyes2:

I can't believe I forgot to tell y'all about my spin class last week!

About 45 minutes into the class time slot, I walked out and dropped both spin classes. It was an absolute joke. The instructor was late as hell, apparently everyone in there had been taking these classes for a while and all knew each other and it was one big clique chattering away about stupid shit and they wouldn't shut up (which meant they weren't seriously working the class or they wouldn't be able to talk that much), and the instructor seemed scatter-brained and disorganized at best. Also, it was "Spin & Core" and when I came back with a black resistance band, the instructor told me to get an easier one because she couldnt do the black one, so therefore I really couldn't. I assured her I was fine with it and she persisted, which was a little embarrassing in front of the class. When she wouldn't give it up, I told her I could bench press more than she weighed and that I didn't think the little rubber tubing could out-do that...she shut up then! I was so pissed, and the longer I sat there, the madder I got, so I dropped it. Plus the actual spinning part was kind of lame, and I can do that at home.

Well good for you for sticking up for yourself anyway! Obviously you are just at a level beyond what that class was offering. :rolleyes2: Yay for not lowing your standards!

Go Steff. I just started doing spinning class and i find them a little weird but no way as dis organized as yours.

The thing i like about it best is the 45mins goes quick. Steff glad you walked outa there!

No way anyone could chat in out class.

Thanx for the support, as always, guys! Even though I think she earned it, I was feeling a little bitchy for saying what I did and ultimately walking out on the class. I think thats true that the class is all about the instructor and their ability to run their class. (Or not, as the case may be.) I'm glad y'all have good instructors. For me, the trainer will still be burning it up at home! :lol:

Just checking in...

Yesterday I hit my elliptical at home and did 4.0 miles and 483 calories in 39-40minutes. Then I did my own cool down exercises...

Today I hit the gym which felt good, and so I did elliptical for 35 min and strength training on abs,legs, and booty... Okay so I felt good that I atleast got to the gym...It was nice... I really don't know how people work out at home..I am sure it's because I have small kids but sometimes I just can't focus, so it is nice to hit that gym and just work out...Okay well have a great day everyone.

Just to catch up and get back to posting every day...

Monday was shoulders...really tough workout. Did "Arnold Presses" for the first time...wow...kicked my butt...still sore from that one. Before the gym I was on my bike trainer for an hour.

Tuesday was chest. A lot of dumbbell work. Chest flyes are up to 25 pounds still, but able to do them slower now, which really burns! Morning bike trainer for 45 minutes.

Today was legs...oh yes, my favorite <cough>...did nine sets on the leg press...got up to 360 pounds again. I don't think I'll be pushing past that for a LONG time. And that was just where we started the workout! I'm so tired and so sore from this week. I'm also working out some at home, too...mostly concentration curls while watching a movie...LOL! Morning bike trainer for an hour.

Tomorrow is my back workout. Will post on how that goes!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
