Hi All!

It's ben a crazy month, but I have been getting my work outs in. I figure we're 1/3 the way through the month, and I'm 1/3 the way through my goal - Yay! My trainer is back from vacation and we have been kicking butt. PLUS... I just got a bodybugg. WOW - let me tell you how fast I get my butt to the gym when I realize I've only burned 1400 calories by 6:00 PM.

Keep up the great work (and congrats on your bandaversary (sp?) --- you guys are doing AMAZING!

~Lori

:biggrin2:Thanks for noticing. I am a lot more sore tonight than I normally am too. I can feel it in my abs, triceps, and calves. Who knew walking and tricep exercises would work your abs too!!

Thanks for the encouraging words!! I sure hope to be a great post op patient. And surgery is getting closer and closer.:whatchutalkingabout:biggrin::tt2:

Wow, working out with college football players, golfing with hockey players and a cop. You are really starting to become a groupie aren't you?:crying:

Keep up the great work.

As for me, last night was legs and it kicked my arse. This morning was interval training on elliptical for 55 minutes. No workout tonight, day off from lifting.

This morning I was planning on doing both upper body and cardio. But, upper body took longer than anticipated due to a couple of conversations and no cardio was done. I'm going to try to get in after work for about 30-40 minutes on elliptical.

On a sidenote, today is DW and my 15th anniversary!:biggrin: Seems like just yesterday we started dating.

      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.
