Weights and a little bike ride at the gym today. Happy Friday everyone. GO BIG BLUE!

You're very welcome my friend.

I've been missing your runs too! So glad to see you posting them again. After all, YOU got me started with this running thing. In case I haven't told you lately. .... THANKS!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I know I've been quiet on here but yesterday I ran 4 miles and I am feeling it this morning. 3 days until my first 5K run soon I will be running half marathon like my friend Catfish!.

I work at a very large hospital and walked all over the place for meetings and other everyday things I have to do. I haven't been able to do much exercising yet, but get to see my primary physician in a few weeks and hoping he will write me a script to go to a wellness center that is located near my home. Since I have had knee replacements and have this weight on it is really hard for me to do anything that has impact on my legs. Maybe this way being followed by a physical therapist he/she will be able to get me doing something that will help me with losing more weight and something that won't allow me to injury myself like I have in the past. Here's Hoping!!! I just Loved the comment from Catfish87 made!!!

WTG everyone! Glad to see all the posts in this thread. It's motivating to ALL of us. Keep on doing what you can do.

Swimming and some weights at the gym today.

Alton, IL Half Marathon this morning! My "goal" = have fun, no injuries. Goal accomplished! This course is along the Mississippi river, so you can imagine.....WINDY! It was a brisk 37*F to start...perfect temp for me. I felt great the entire course, never pushing the pace, until the last half mile or so. I finished in 2:12 minutes, which was about 2 minutes slower than I had anticipated.
My HRM kinda went on the fritz a couple times...so I just ran by feel. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/465531831
So many of you have inspired/motivated/encouraged me...I can never thank you enough. Happy Saturday everyone!

I had a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck last Tuesday, and I have to say this last week was one of the most difficult of my life. I am no baby when it comes to pain. My discomfort was manageable. It was the fact that I didn't feel in control of my body and had to rely on others, hard to do when you are a hard headed independent woman like me. Oxycodone and morphine suppositories made me feel awful. Between feeling blazing hot then freezing cold to not wanting to eat, move or be able to have a poop, to horrible hallucinogenic dreams I had enough of the narcotics pretty damn fast. i have had surgeries before, but this one really was the hardest. Emotional support was so so important for this one. I am not a clingy person, but good grief, this time around I could not get enough hugs or encouragement. My compression garment will be burnt at the stake as soon as five weeks are up! Today is day number 8 and I am starting to feel like my old self. Today I happened to get on the scale to see if Id lost any of the ten pounds plus of Water weight, and I am pleased to say I weight 125 which is my goal weight. yay me!

I can totally relate to this, especially right now. Great post Lisa!

You my dear are stunning!!

Awww........so proud of you!

7.25 mile run today. My last long run before Saturdays HM.
After Saturday's run, I'm gonna concentrate more on cycling for a couple of months...."Banders Biking" thread get ready!
Also noticed on my Garmin, todays run was my 300th exercise activity since getting it about a year ago.
Lifetime Totals Activities 300 Distance 3,263.72 mi Time 376:21:39 hrs Calories 182,716 C Elev Gain 39,516 ft

Why not just fall back to lean cuisine/smart ones etc for those meals you can't plan? I do. I eat progresso Soups a couple times a week. I eat a lean cuisine at least once a week. Usually its for lunch since lunch is time limited.
I've got my Breakfast meals that I rely on. I'm sort of tired of them and would love a Belgian waffle smothered in strawberries and cream(for another topic someday) but that aint gonna happen. Supper is one of those meals that's easy to plan out and we eat leftovers probably 2-3 times a week.
My only fear with JC would be there are so many processed foods in those meals and it seems like it would be difficult to find meals that adhered to the Protein first and then veggies? Don't they have a lot of processed flours and potatoes?

From what I am reading the band did not fail you, you failed the band. We all expect to lose magically without effort but that is not reality. If there is nothing wrong with your band and you haven't had a fill or a checkup in 5 years you should contact another Dr. and start working the band like it was intended. I am not sure the purpose of asking for other people who have "failed" bands but I hope you don't give up and want others to verify your diagnosis of a "failed" band. Some people do indeed have slips and issues with the band no doubt just like other WLS there are bound to be failures . Some are from patient non compliance and others are truly a fail from some other cause. Before I gave up though I would consult with another surgeon and make sure your band is no slipped. Best of Luck to you in the future. I am a 67 year old woman who had some of the same medical issues as you and I am no longer on any medication thanks to my Band.
