See people posting about having a stall or a really bad stall. I understand this means they've stopped weight loss for a period of time. This is different than slowing down? How does a person know they have stalled? By time? life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Unrelated to the sleeve because I don't have one yet, I have to use warm Water to brush and paste (not gel) or I gag and heave. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Maybe I should also say I dance Nia (nianow.com) barefoot three times a week and other group classes as I please the treadmill gives me the most grief. I too wear very good athletic shoes that fit well with a lot if structure. (lucky me I have a bunion on my other foot.)

I had plantar facitis and went the normal medical route for 9 months. In the end it was daily stretching and 6 acupuncture treatments that healed mine (no pun intended) seriously there is still considerable debate in the world of podiatry about what PF is (Is it inflammation? Recent research says no.) life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

I am pre-op so Idk what I'm talking about as this relates to the life of a sleeved; yet, it occurred to me, so I thought I'd mention it. Currently, the right amount if exercise regulates my hunger. If I don't exercise, I don't eat well or make good choices. If I over do it, I'm super hungry later. Made me wonder if looking at your exercise would help? life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Now i'm wondering if any one did not tell their kids? What was your reasoning? This is helpful. Thank you!!!

Whoopee! My info packet came today: one preop appt, super limited lab (CBC CMP), and a 24 hour liquid diet! I'm stoked (and freakin out). Kinda makes up for the 6 months of NUT. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

My kids are young at 3 and 8. What did you say to your kids? What did they say/do in response? Just to be clear, but hopefully not too forward, I'm not asking what you think I should tell my kids. More like I find my thinking takes shape when I have the honor reading your stories. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

Watermelon sounds hydrating but I just read that it is a natural diuretic!!!! Not so good for hydration. I can have sweet potato in week four. There is an organic, canned version (for pies I'm sure) at Whole Foods and year around. It's very thin and silky. My kids eat it. I find it other places only at the winter holidays. life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX
