Absolute petrified to step foot inside



Recommended Posts

I've just joined a gym for the first time since my 20s and feeling exactly the same so have really appreciated this thread. Thank you and congrats on getting it done!

My gym is really nice and I worried about people being judgmental when I first started going. All I could see were lots of fit people looking cute in spandex. But now that I go regularly, I see all the people who are larger like me. And all the older people working out with a buddy. And several people with disabilities getting it done. Every single person is either wearing headphones or talking to their workout buddy. Literally everyone is in their own little world. It's weird, but also nice.

I will say I was guilty of judging someone last week while I was on the elliptical. Someone to my left had several instances of horrible gas in a 10 min period of time. I eventually had to leave the area. I'm proud of myself for not making a rude face or comment but inside my head, I had a lot to say!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
