Wanna, Ok I feel so bad. I don't deserve your comments.. I decided to have a night off and watch cartoons and eat junk with my oldest son. We are eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's Ice cream as I type this. I only bought a pint, because this is a planned splurge, but if I bought a half gallon then I would eat at it all week. So, I am back on plan tommorow as well. I didn't get to go to the gym today. 2 of my kids have the flu.

Well Renewed, I haven't been doing so well. I've been on vacation for the past week and I've gained 2 lbs. I was actually expecting it to be more. I have lost my restriction. I thought I was at my sweet spot from the last fill and now I hardly have any. My next appt isn't until April 24th, grrrr! I really need a fill. The good news is, I have almost saved up enough money to join the YMCA. When my hubby gets paid on Friday, I am going to go join. I'm excited about that! Maybe I will have a better update next time, lol!

You should be very proud of only a 2 pound weight gain on vacation. Don't be hard on yourself!! Cool on the YMCA. You will really enjoy that!! My cousin is a personal trainer, so I get a REALLY good deal on training. I just started this week.

Hey ladies. I haven't been doing to well either. I found out 2 things:

that I am severely deficient in D, B1, B6, B12, and Iron. Pretty much my body was malnourished and freaking out. I was pale, weak, having weird pains, severe fatigue, brittle hair and dry, dry ,dry skin. I'm now taking so many pills its crazy, but I do feel better.

And that my home scale is 3.5lbs off. So I actually weight almost 4lbs more than I thought. But I I round down:tongue:.

To be honest this all threw me for a loop. So much so, I ate my way through my recovery week. BUT, Last week I returned to my exercise and better eating. I did so well I lost 10lbs! 6 of which, I gained in a week! I guess I needed those Vitamins. I'm starting to think these deficiencies were what was slowing my weight loss.

Sorry for the long story

Anywho....I am adjusting my stats for my actual weight. All in all I am down 4lbs! :)

I'm bored with my workout routine. I know I need to shake it up. I'm thinking about joining a gym instead of using the one at work. That way I can do spinning and kickboxing classes. I have access to fantastic cardio/machines/free weights at work, but no classes. I've been doing the work gym regularly since October of 06.

Anyway, that's where my thougths are at the moment.

WTG Jennypoo!!! TOM has come to visit me, so I was up and now back down to what my ticker says. I keep forgetting, however, to post my activity. Yesterday I worked out witht the trainer for 30 minutes, did a 1hr kickboxing class and road my stationary bike for 25 minutes. I have signed up to run a 5k in May!!! Yes, I am nuts, but no doubt I will be at the gym getting ready.

Hope to update with some weight loss soon.

They have a Susan G Koman Race for The Cure 5k about an hour from here next month on the 10th. That is not long, but my mom is a breast cancer survivor and I thought it would be a great way to honor her and Celebrate my new choices that will decrease my risk of ever having to go through what she did with cancer.

Ok, that was pretty sappy, but true. I am really looking forward to training for and being successful in this race.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
