I have been walking everyday for a hour. And I feel so much better. I think pushing myself helps me. I''m going to the beach next week and I can't wait to walk on the beach. I think if you set small goals for yourself it will help you in your exercise goals.

I'm worried about this week too. I am in Texas visiting family today and tomorrow, so I'm going to miss my workout class (I do circuit training 3x/week at Lifetime Fitness M/W/F). I'm almost addicted to the class now, so it hard for me to miss it.

This week is going to be a real challenge. My SIL is having gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday so we will be hanging around the hospital for a couple of days. I guess I will be walking the halls. Gotta try to find a Curves in the town where the hospital is. I'm still going to try to do at least 30 minutes every day.

Monday - Curves Workout

Tuesday- ?? but something

Wednesday Curves workout

Thursday -Walking 45 minutes

Friday - Curves Workout

Saturday - Curves Workout - official monthly weigh in.

I finally made up my mind today to go walking. I have ridden my stationary exercise bike a couple of times since surgery and walked around the backyard with the dog, but that's about it. There is a park near me with a walking track, so I hauled the kids and the dog over there with me. I made it around the track twice. It circles around 4 softball fields, but not sure exactly how long it is. It took me around 30 minutes. :blushing:

I walked 2 miles Saturday and did it again last night! Here is my plan for the week. I'm not released to do much more than walk, and we have a really busy week, but I think 3 days are do-able and a good "starting out" goal:

Monday - 2 miles

Tuesday - will walk 2 miles

Wednesday - my daughters have dress rehearsal for a dance competition, no walking

Thursday - will walk 2 miles

Friday - going out of town...maybe walk in the morning?

I walked on the track again today. My oldest daughter is home for spring break and she went with me! We made it around the track twice in a little less than 30 minutes.

I haven't been able to walk at the walking track yesterday or today. I have heel spurs and they really hurt from those 2 days straight of walking around that concrete track. I decided to rest for 2 days, at least from walking. I'll do 20 minutes on the exercise bike tonight.

        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.

      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
