This morning I jogged 1 mile (again-nonstop), then walked with a mixture of jogging for another 2 & 1/2 miles.

Nothing really different to report.

Yesterday during our warm-ups we did abs.... I did something like 85 crunches of various flavors, plus some yoga & pilaties.

Then I belly danced for 40 minutes or so....

This morning I jogged 5 laps (1 & 1/4 mile) at the track, then I also walked 3 more laps and to and from the track, so that's a total of 2 & 1/2 miles for me. I am going to visit my inlaws in 5 more weeks, so I really want to lose as much as possible before I go. I've made it a goal to exercise every day and not make excuses! We'll see what happens......

Sunday, rode the recombant bike at the gym for 30 minutes, did arm weights for 15 minutes (5 pound dumb bells)

light yoga 20 minutes and belly danced 40 minutes.

Discovered that the yoga positions for the Sun Salutation is not a good idea after getting a fill. Ended up with the dry heaves on Thursday... Not good! So no more Sun Salutations for me!

I went to the gym last night and did 20 minutes on the eliptical trainer and 20 minutes on the treadmill at a pace of 3.5 miles/hr.

Great idea. I was banded Monday (10th) and MADE myself walk some yesterday!! That is outside of the house. I walked for 20 min about 3/4 of a mile, and was sore every step especially where my port is. I figure if I can walk now, I know I can walk as I get healed. My goal is to repeat my effort today.

Went to the gym today and met with a trainer. She was pretty cool, but I know that she can easily kick my butt if I slack off which is just what I need. She had me flexing my abs (really really sucking in my gut but still being able to breathe), and says that's what I need to be doing when doing ab work. I did 30 minutes on the staionary bike plus 2 types of ab work.

        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
