hi all just wanted to share with you all.

I started swimming again in june until end aug.

now restarted again as got free swiming cupons that will last me until end of jan.( so no excuses for not going) lol

anyway what im getting to is that today I just beat my own record. I was doing 20 lengths of pool about 1/2 mile in 60 mins.

well today I did 26 lengths in 50 mins and 16 of them was without stopping.:thumbup: (but my arms do ache a bit). as was all done on back stroke.

sorry for bragging but im mega pleased with myself:wink_smile:

take care al

Ann xx

That's really good Ann - I'm very pleased for you. Swimming was never my sport of choice (cycling is), but I'm really glad that you can see the progress you're making. Keep it up xx

I go swimming 6 days a week and it certainly tones your body. The Country club is really lovely and being a pensioner and going off peak it only costs me £5 per week for all the facilities. Plus I have made lots of friends going there and can now swim 10 lengths but I need to up my speed.

Hey, you're entitled to bragg BgB! Well done you.

I am at a stage now when I feel DESPERATE to start taking some exercise but my energy levels won't allow. Have only just come off the liquid diet. My head says GOGOGO but my body's still saying SLOWSLOWSLOW!! LOL.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
