Try the gas x. I bet it will help.

What fitness related EVENT are you training/preparing for?
Next goal is the NYC marathon in November. I've done several half marathons, but this will be my first full. Surgery 2 years ago and down 100 lbs! Let's see what happens
-
almost 2 years out
Congrats all. I am also 2 years out. I surpassed my goal and just started training for my first marathon.

My Best Friend and my Boyfriend do Not Know!
I'm also 2 years post surgery and only my dad knows (and my docs). I don't plan to tell anyone else. It's my business and I think that's ok.

Personal Trainers & gyms
The benefits to a personal trainer for me (other than the obvious) is that it's a way to have some accountability. I don't want to pay all that money only to cancel or not use him. So, it's a motivator to get to the gym knowing he's waiting for me.

What do you miss most after Weight Loss Surgery?
Not going to lie to you...I had surgery 2 years ago and I STILL miss my diet coke, but I gave it up and it's not worth the risk.
-
IF YOU COULD tell yourself this 1 thing BEFORE U HAD SURGERY what would THAT BE?
Agree with other posters-- don't compare your results to others. I lost slow and steady. It's not a race
-
Slow loser
Do you track your food/calories? I found that really helped me.
-
2 questions.
My port was really sore for 1-2 weeks after surgery. Totally normal.
-
November fitness challenge
Id like at least to reach 50+ miles running this month I'm almost there!
-
Port
Yes. I felt like I did 5000 sit ups, but it gets better each day.
-
What Should I Tell My Boss
I said I was having gallbladder removed!
-
Cold Hands And Feet?
I have this too, but I don't think anything changed after surgery. I think I just have poor circulation. However, in some cases it could be a thyroid issue.

Lap Band with Plication
Stayed in hospital 1 night. Back at work 6 days later.
-
Tummy Tuck on Halloween
Did anyone get a new lower profile port after tummy tuck surgery? I'm just curious that might be something I would consider
-
Lap Band with Plication
Me! Surgery May 2012. Lost about 90lbs.
-
Port placement
Mine is just to the right of my belly button. It's visible now that I've lost weight. Oh well!

Honesty .... I'm scared. . Were you?
I was nervous too. I was banded may 2012. For the 2 weeks before surgery I was excited and nervous and anxious and all those feelings. I felt good about the research I had done, and I'm aware of the risks. Now I'm 90 lbs lighter and still cannot believe it!

Breakfast
smoothie or Protein shake sometimes work for me. It's hard in the morning.
