That's wonderful! Running has a way of healing the soul too. I'd sign up for a 5k in your area ASAP to keep the momentum going. As far as hurting your knees go, skinny people hurt their knees too. I ran a marathon at 240 lbs two years ago in under 5 hrs with no injury so just take it easy and listen to your body. Runny gives you the fasted results too! Belly fat MELTS away and your hips shrink in no time. Jeff Galloway's programs for running injury free are invaluable. Congrats!

I told my husband and my boys and one close friend..of course the friend who referred me also knows. When someone asks me I tell them I'm eating less and exercising...like duh! As far as get together a go there is nothing you can't eat. Leaning in and listening to the conversations while smiling and slowly eating is a whole new experience. I enjoy it much more because I'm learning how to Celebrate family and friends without overheating. I've been out to pizza, to Mexican food and I go to weekly work luncheons. No one has ever said boo to me. I've lost 30 lbs since my preop. I was banded 10/5.

Just paid $3.74 central Cali

Yep normal. Do you have realize or lap band? My dr said I'm wide open, that's why I'm starving all the time. TG I go in Monday for my first fill.

Banded 10/5. Lost 30.1 including preop.

My doc sad to not let it get past 3 days. I used glycerin suppositories. They stimulate a different zone if you get my drift. Worked within 20 min and they are cheap.

Well said Mis! I think more like dude than a Gil ( so I've been told) no fluff, no beating around the bush. I understood completely where our dud was coming from. Sometimes us guys get to tough love before laying the foundation of fluff. He comes from a good place though. We are so happy that this situation has not defined you, and that you are full of life nd hope. So many others re not! Big hug agin from Cali!

Amazing! Congrats!

Ringworm is a fungus much as athletes foot is. I can't imagine this would impact surgery.

Sounds really good! I think I'd add ff ricotta for creaminess. I like the idea of cutting it up and freezing it. I'm looking for some easy go- to meals when I've planned poorly.

Heating pad! Also search the thread Shoulder pain-revealed. Good insight and advise!

Hello! Congrats on your journey and welcome to the band

The havoc it wrecks on your metabolism isn't worth it for me. Plus, I want to lose weight and NOT be crazy mean to everyone. Ha! I had great results with it but as soon as I stopped BAM. there it all was again. The band LIFESTYLE is teaching me how to act and eat like a skinny person. I have to embrace the lifestyle not just have the band for success.

I had SO much mucus the first few days...it was crazy and my throat and mouth were sore too!

Ouch! And wth!!

Have you called the dr? My dr told me to take gelcap Advil for the inflammation. I still have a tinge of discomfort now and then but no pain, pain. I go in for my first fill on Monday.

Someone said to me today " I don't know if its the hair color, or length or what but you look REALLY good! " funny cuz I've dropped 30 lat month and ppl can tell something is different but they don't know what!

I wouldn't do gummy but the chewable ones turn to chalk in your mouth so those won't hurt at all.
