  3. i strarted walking but now i jog about 80% of the three mile. at first i would just jog from telephone pole then walk to the next. Work at it i use an app on my phone called map my walk and gets some ear phones and your ready. I actually jog with my two boxer doggs. there great the pull me into jogging longer. Good luck start small and work your way up, i think that my high weight loss is because i jog every morning.

  7. Today i woke up and weighted myself and hit 299 lbs. I haven't been this light since my late 20's. I have lost 159 lbs since nov 2 2011 on that day i weighted 458. So i feel great I run 3 mi every morning 5 days a week. Sometimes I miss food. But i went from 6xl shirt to 2xl, pants waist 58 to a 46, not bad. I dont regret anything I love my sleeve. I have post a before and after pic. Good luck to evryone.
  8. GREAT POST LISSA, AS SHE SAID ITS ONLY NATURAL TO HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS. yOU WILL BE FINE. yOU WILL BUILD A NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD. PLUS IF YOU WERE GONNA LOOSE THAT WIEGHT YOU WOULD ALREADY HAVE. I LOST 65 POUNDS GETTING READY FOR SURGERY, I TOO THOUGHT MAYBE I CAN DO THIS ON MY OWN, I COULDNT. I AM DOWN A TOTAL OF 154 POUNDS 86 SINCE SURGERY ON 4/20.........COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT MY SLEEVE. YOU WILL BE FINE AND GOOD LUCK

  10. ok today i am 3 months 12 post op. today i hit 150 lbs. I have lost 82lbs since my surgery of 4/20. I feel great. I havent been the most honest in my program but none the less i have a program. Havent been hitting gym as much as i should but i do jog 3 miles at least 4 days a week. And i actually job about 80% of 3 miles. I really have no abitite i eat about 3-4 bites and thats all im good for. i would like to loose about 80 ponds more. 220 i would be happy with. Good luck everyone, i think i am getting good results because i go jogging, and beleave me i was 458 i started walking and worked my way up to jogging, i think i am going to do a 5k run.
  11. SOUNDS LIKE SIATIC NERVE, SORRY PROBABLY SPELLED WRONG. i WAS GETTING THIS NUMBNESS IN MY LEFT THIGH DIDNT HURT JUST FELT WARM AND NUMB. WHEN YOU LOOSE WIEGHT IT WILL GO AWAY. MINE STOPPED GETTING NUMB WHEN I LOST SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT. GOOD LUCK
  12. It's only hard first month, it will get easier, anyways if you do try that food you will get sick, you will probably get the slimes and vomiting. Also those commericials were dificult in those starting days. But you will learn your limitations.
  13. i feel the same
  14. thier gonna give you antibiotics for 2 weeks, then you have to wait 30 days and retest. it will slow your surgery by 1 1/2 months. good luck
  15. my self i also told everyone, I am a own my own barbershop so i am very much in public on daily basis, therefore there was no way to keep secret. I have lost 120 something pounds in last 7 months so people notice. My barbershops name is Big Al's so now evryone tells me I am gonna have to change name to little Al's. Its funny to me but a compliment. there will always be someone that is gonna protest surgery you just have to explain to them its something you need to do for yourself. There isnt a day that goes bye that someone doesnt tell me I am looking good or they ask me how I feel. I just put a smile on my face and thank them very much. So get ready for lots of compliments. Good luck and my advice is tell everyone dont be ashamed of bettering your life.
  16. you definetley should be walking, my first week after surgery i was walking about 3 miles a day....not all at once but broke it down to about 4 walks a day. try app called map my walk it helps tells you how much you've walked. good luck
