It's so great to be part of this incredibly dynamic group!!!

Well, I'm still plugging away slowly here. I just had my last surgical drain removed and didn't want to risk excessive swelling so I took a few days off and then started back in again last night. So far so good with the swelling, but I'm still going to ease back into this slowly, just to be on the safe side.

One 30 minute walk yesterday. Have a great day everyone!!!

hello all, you guys/gals rock! I haven't posted anything for a while but would like to get in on the July challenge...hoping it will carry over to an august challenge. I bought myself a 3 year membership to 24hr fitness for mothers day. Need to have my head examined on that one. Should have got myself a day at the spa. :biggrin: Ive been averaging 5 days a week since i joined except for the last 2 weeks when I only made it twice/wk cuz I was LAZY!! You all have inspired me. Hope you don't mind a late-comer. Usually I do 20-25 min on stair master and 25min on eliptikill. Then finish off the night with 10-15 min of abs and stretching.

Last night, as promised, was upper body workout. Felt weak, but as I was in a hurry because I had to ump, I was going through very quickly. Very little rest btwn cycles.

This morning was a nice little 5 mile run on the treadmill in just under 50 minutes. Including cool down, I did 55 minutes. Tonight is lower body.

The weekend was great. Continued walking and logged 8 miles each Saturday and Sunday, and 5.5 miles on Monday. It's motivating, especially when the scale moves.

Looking forward to a very active 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
