Thanks everyone! I feel like a wet noodle!

I ran/walked my first 5k today. It took me 46:11, but I did it!

I guess my ins works differently. My Dr sent the refferal to the bariateic surgeon. Then I was able to start my 6 mo required appts and do all of the pre op requirements. Once that was done the bariatric center sent it to my ins for approval for surgery. That took one week. Two weeks later I had my surgery. Good luck to you!

That is a big deal! Early on getting protein is such a challenge. Every step forward is a big one! Way to go!

Before pic 8/5/12- Day before surgery After pic 1/7/13 77 lbs down

Way to go! Keep up the great work! Pretty soon you will be in the 200's!

I was able to actually run on the treadmill yesterday. And at an incline! I havnt actually ran in over two years. I also didnt get terrible cramps in my calves, which is why I stopped running to begin with. Progress!

Nope. They are sutures from the incisions. No big deal.

Yep. I clipped mine of with sanitized nail clipper. Nit roo close to the skin though. That's what my surgeon said to do.

I could maybe once a month or something. I live in Mesa so that is quite a drive. I work in downtown Phoenix though
