Good for you. You don't need her as a friend. Sounds like a b***h I would have slapped a few times lol

People enter into our lives for a reason, season or lifetime. She sounds like a season. The Spring of you life is upon you, let the Chill of Winter go. Good luck to You.....

You cannot go wrong to walk. Like you, I'm itching to work out. I am going to gym today for the first time since surgery on 8/23. Now, in my head, I want to hit it hard.......................but I won't. One, I am not even one week post surgery. Two, I don't want to overdo it. Three, it takes baby steps. I know my enthusiasm is because I am excited and I know working out will aid in my weight loss efforts. This is a life long journey and I respect it. I am going to the gym but I am keeping it light for a while until I get full clearance from my doctor. How AWESOME is it that I (probably you too) actually want to go to the gym? On the road to success. Life is good!

Hopefully your friend comes around and you two reconnect. We need our friends and have to love them through their faults. It is disappointing she has responded as such but a lot of times people don't know what to say and what comes out is stupid. I hope it works out as I know the VS will work. Take care of yourself because the road may get a little bumpy before you reach your destination. Got to focus on you now. Good luck and remember, you deserve this!

I think you should start lifting weights. Just get some 5 or 10 pounds dumbells and check out youtube for some ideas on exercises. There are tons of things you can do easily at this point. I lift weights 3 times a week and not only has it helped my weight loss but it's also helped tone up my body better than I expected. Actually, on second thought, I have a set of dumbells where you can adjust the weight from 5 to 25 pounds. I do shoulder on 5 but can do biceps on 10. So having something adjustable is better than buying a bunch of different weights.

I'm glad I didnt' see mine, but I had a similar comment from my WLS. You're gonna love your new, tiny, sleeved tummy!

Oh my gosh! That's crazy!

Sooo happy for you. Thanks for sharing....i still am a few months out for surgery but love to read blogs like yours. Congrats!!

So happy for you, congrats on the weight loss. My surgery is on the 29th of this month looking forward to it, wishing you all the best!

Hi there. I remember those feelings very well. I also went to TJ and had Dr. Garcia and thought "What have I done". I still wanted a cheeseburger 3 days post op!!!! It probably took a good 3 weeks to not feel weird when I ate anything and the whole diet for the first 3 weeks sucks anyway. It isn't until I started eating "normal" food that I started to get into a groove. I am loving my sleeve now at 6 weeks out and have lost 38 pounds in total, so feel and look quite different already too! Hang in there....it does get better....but it takes time and patience. Just drink your protein shakes and give it some time. I promise you will feel differently in a few short weeks and you will also be a lot lighter! :-)
