Running - feeling light and athletic and not like a fat cow plodding along embarrassed on another desperate, pathetic, destined to fail diet and exercise routine. I am REALLY a runner! Wow. Its what I wanted most of all, dont know why.

Wearing a bikini and tiny running shorts, that's a great feeling and one I wanted.

Just being able to shop anywhere, buy anything. YOu dont realise how little freedom you have clothing wise when you're bigger.

There are a few things and something just came up last Friday.

Our furnace wasn't working. DH was not home. In order to avoid a call and $$ for HVAC guy to fix it we tried to troubleshoot.

One answer I had to get was the power switch near the furnace, was it on or off?

I didn't even know there was a switch. If there is why in the world would it be off? The blower is in the attic. I've never even been up there.

So there I am puling down the attic stairs and looking at the flimsy looking ladder steps and raling. I see a big sticker on it stating that the weight limit is 250. Serious bodily injury, breaking the stairs or DEATH could occur!

YIKES!

I went up a few steps....ok, holding....holding....I was able to peer into the attic but I wasn't going to brave the final boost....or the first step down.

We ran into the local Hvac guy and he fixed it for free.

I haven't had one of those moments for a few years.

The last time was wondering how I was going to get out of a friends above ground pool....the flimsy aluminum ladder .......

I can't wait for the band!

I want to not worry about chairs, ladders, bikes,

Basicaly I dont want to have to look for the weight limit for something.

Oh and it will be nice to get into an elevator without looking at the maximum weight limit and trying to calculate if I throw the weight over the limit.

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

    • 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
