loly13 WooHoo "a year in the life" - big congrats - so happy for you may you be as happy for the rest of your life, as you are today

exercise is very beneficial too for my osteoporosis (thank goodness for dictionary)

Mrtiger1 started a little late in my journey better late than never. i am exercising more and more, and loving it exercise is invaluable for everyone, sleevers et al, - there are so many benefits i find the "mental" aspect of exercising is wonderful i feel soooo good after i exercise 10 weeks PO, hope all is going smoothly, get your docs blessing, and start exercising - gradually at first, but then - go get um

hi there you've done amazing in such a short time you men - you loose at a faster rate than women - lucky but.............i know you worked really hard to get to where you are now - and will continue til goal, and then for the rest of your longer, healthier, happier life how awful about kidney stone, fever, surgery, waiting for a new WLS date Finally, everything has worked out for you - and you are doing marvelous keep up the fantasic work congrats

carol weight and inches down same amount too cool keep up the great work congrats

brookeco OMG - i'm sorry you went through such a nightmare with your IV, hospital, pain prescription messed up - not fun - what a disaster hope you and your bicycle will continue to go uphill now hope your PCP can help you with info now, or remember - come here with more questions serious medical questions we can't answer - will advice you to call a dr but ask us other stuff.............if we can help, here we are good luck

VitaleEM et al I believe that dumping only pertains to Gastric Bypass WLS could be wrong i did make a mistake once, i thought i was wrong

kyllfalcon WLS works if you do love that

brookeco glad to hear you are back in the pink. one month PO, before exercising, people usually talk to their dr to get the "official" go ahead to exercise. your 7 mile bike "jaunt" work and back - what a wonderful form of exercise that is!! do you dislike your dr.? or the personnel in the office, or both? maybe talk to your PCP for advice concerning the bike rides et al. he could be able to advice you, on other things too pertaining to the WLS if WLS surgeon or PCP can not help you- probably would be ok to start out with those bike trips, but i would start off slowly, no marathons overnight, build up gradually to the point you want to be - whether biking or other excercize good luck

mysunflower621 congratulation on doing 1/2 a marathon. what an accomplishment , and when you are carrying around some excess luggage, makes it all the harder- you can do a whole marathon in a year - you won't have to carry any luggage this time!!!!! raising money for such a good cause, the emotions you must have felt - how wonderful hats off to you girlfriend good luck with WLS speedy recovery

Ashley i know you can't hear, or see me - but...... i am clapping my hands and jumping up and down for you, doing the happy dance too - i'm also burning alot of calories thanx to you Congratulations

Piplula i see you'll fit right in with this group :lol: glad you don't have a prob with yogurt anymore i love Chobani greek yogurt, especially strawberry continued good luck

tatylish, Since you will have been sleeved 2 weeks prior to your brothers wedding, IMO you will be especially conscientious of NOT eating those nasty foods - you won't want to mess up having WLS one day after b'day - great motivator to enter your 26th year of a better healthier, happier life good luck with WLS speedy recovery
