First Celebration!!!!



Recommended Posts

So, I have to share with you all, because I have done my fair share of complaining on this board about my struggles since being banded.

Tonight, I went and participated in my first workout class. I think it was kickboxing cardio, or something like that, but....for the first time in my whole life, I was proud of myself about what I doing with my body!!! I even got a bit emotional and had to try not to cry during the middle of it because I couldn't believe that me, at 270 lbs, had overcome my fear and was working out in a class with other people, and skinny beautiful women at that!!

Now, I sure didn't get hardly any of the steps right, and I sweated in places I didn't think you could sweat, but I stuck it out, and kept on trying my best. I have ALWAYS wanted to work out like that, but have been too scared to try.

It feels good to be proud of myself!

Nice job!!! It takes alot of courage to work out amongst the beautiful people. I still have problems with that so I'm going to use your post as motivation. I've been sitting on my butt since I was banded on 10/19/09!!!! Thanks.

And you know what, sometimes the beautiful people have been right where you are and are more empathetic than you think! They're not judging you.

I know how you feel, I bawled my eyes out finishing a 7.5km fun run once.

That is so awesome. I want to workout and even have a former student who is a personal trainer. But I feel so self conscious. Good for you.

      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.
