I totally understand. I've been there in the past but am really working on this. I'm doing an online thing called intention inspired and it's a really motivating me to step out. Another thought is that I realized that I was robbing my family/friends when my timidity or embarrassment kept me from engaging with others. I know that might sound egotistical, but I wouldn't do it for me, so had to learn to do it for them. Be encouraged girl, you are making positive changes and that is something to be proud of.

High blood pressure, joint pain

I'm almost 3 yrs but 3 months after my rny I fell and could not get back up. Was numb from abdomen down. I spent 3 months away from home. Between hospital, running so many tests and taking so much blood, then since I could not stand nor walk 🚶 even with 2 people helping me, they sent me to a nursing home for 1 1/2 months then to rehab. Rehab got me to stand and learn to walk again. They said in the hospital I was malnourished and B-1 defficent .I an m now just named from knees down but bad neuraphy but I can stand and walk , but can not work any more. I had the hair loss but all in all I NEVER have regretted it.. I've lost 150 pounds and love ❤ it. Everyone's body is different but you can read everyone's story and decide , but for myself I will just take on what comes. Good luck

Good evening. I like how you say release the weight. You can & will do it. Stay encourage.
