I worried a little! I ended up losing another 10lbs right before my surgery. So I pulled off a 60lb loss for my 4 month pre op diet! I did it!! It was very hard!! But I'm glad I did it! Hang in there!

My stomach hurts from the surgery, I can't take the pain meds because they make me sick, so I'm only on Tylenol.

I feel like shit! I can't take anything but Tylenol, the hard stuff makes me sick. I just want the pain to go away! How long until it stops??,

Had my surgery yesterday! Woke up very dizzy. Now I'm very sore and tired

10:30 tomorrow!!!!

I can't believe how fast 4 months came and went. Tomorrow is the day!!! Yay

Yes!!! I'm so happy to have made it through this week. I have so much to do over the next few days. What are you going to take with you to the hospital?

Not to much stuff. I always over pack. So just a few must haves. Clean clothes, hairbrush, hairband, iPod, magazines. Toothbrush, toothpaste, a lil makeup for the way home. And a pillow for the ride. You??

Me too. Excited?

May 20th for me!!!!

Ok thanks everyone

One week from today!!!!

It sure but I have some non chewable a already. Can I crush them, or no??

I also forgot to mention, with the insurance I have if I gained even one pound they would cancel my surgery!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, my surgeon's office just called. My insurance was approved!!! Yay I have been doing 2 Protein Shakes a day, with a small dinner consisting of 3oz lean Protein and 6oz veggies. Since January. Yesterday I got back on the horse!!! I'm excited and lost another 4lbs in the past two days!!!!! <<<<<< I'm one happy girl!!

Thanks, things are going well.

May 20th for me!!!! Yay

Thanks everyone, feeling really bad about myself. Tomorrow's a new day!

Have surgery scheduled for May 20th. I have lost 52 lbs on my pre op diet. Since getting my surgery date 1 1/2 weeks ago I'm on this crazy food binge!!! I haven't gained any lbs back, but everything is out the window!! So today I'm liquid fasting on Protein Shakes to start over. But already ate 10 potato chips! :/ why am I doing this to my self!! Did I mention I also being lazy in the work out dept. I went from being a pre op rock star, to a hot mess!!!!!!!! Help!

Yay, mine will be some time in the first two weeks. I find out on the 21st!!!!!

As mentioned earlier....for me, it's 95% mental. Kind of like most things in life, when you really decide you WANT to do it, you can. Of course there can be physical limiting factors for some, health issues that can't be "ran through". When I decided to start running, last July, I went 2 miles the first time, VERY slow. I just wanted to get through the two miles. I had no idea what any time would be. I had already been doing quite a bit of cycling cardio for a while, and I've read and heard often "cyclilng leads to running"...I'm a believer! After that first run, I went to 5k distance, then progressed from there. This Saturday will be my first organized Half Marathon. I'm not sure about ever doing a full, but who knows....... My suggestions: 1. Go to a running store and get the proper shoes, FOR YOU. 2. Slow down and accomplish the DISTANCE you want first. 3. If something doesn't feel right, find out what it is, and correct it. Running shouldn't hurt. 4. Set realistic goals, maybe an organized 5k run within a couple months. 5. Find out what heart rate is good for you and stick to it....running into a wall halfway sucks. 6.....Buy lots of hangers for all your newest running shirts!

Thanks looking forward to seeing how running will change for me!

Thanks everyone! We are in therapy! He knows he messed up, and I know we are not perfect! Thanks for the concern!

11 oz 30g of Protein

Thanks

What size Premier Protein did you get? Oz?

I'm pre op. Down 35 lbs. and I want to love running. I started the c25k program I'm on week 3. I feel like I'm going to die!

Does it ever get easier? Or will I always feel like I'm going to die!!!!!

Could be the other woman doesn't know he's married???

I'm 90% sure she knew
