I had surgery in December 2012.... Started jogging in March and have lost OVER 123 ponds. I enjoy running now. I ran a 15k in September and have my first 1/2 marathon in December!!

Do you actually run it or do you jog?? I have been doing it and I am now on week 8 day 2 and it still takes me over 40min for 3.2 miles.... I thought I was doing good, but I am so slow I signed up for a 5k on 5/11/2013 and I am afraid I will embarrass myself

I think I may try it

I lost 23 lbs my first week

I had my surgery last Monday 12\3\12.. I started at 272 and today was my 1st follow up and I am now 249 that is 23 lbs in 8 days woo hoo!!! I did admit to the dr I had a scrambled eggg on saturday and some tuna on sunday he said that was fine as long as it was mushys... and I can start on my soft food next week WOO HOO... I am so excited

I got sleeved 12/3/12 in Orlando with dr teixeira... He was great! His partner is dr. Jawad.

I had my surgery yesterday with dr. Teixeira at md. Anderson/ormc It all went great! Was up walking 4 hours after surgery... They discharged me today and I am already home. I am very tired but other than that doing good

I am 4 hours post op and just got to my room. I am VERY VERY tired. pain wise I am doing good.. i am sore but it is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have a REALLY dry throat so I am munching on some crushed ice.. Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes now to start this lifelong journey

Thats amazing... I go in or surgery on Monday!

I am scared!! My surgery is set for 12/3 .... I am 41 years old and I have had many surgeries (gallbladder, 2 csection, double mastectomy, tram flap reconstruction, craniotomy to remove brain tumor) I have went through chemo and over 120+ treatments of radiation and I am still scared... But I know if I don't lose this weight my chances of my cancers coming back are more than 80% higher... And I have an amazing husband and 3 wonderful children I need to be here for. My husband is really concerned with me doing this, but after both my breast cancer oncologist and brain cancer oncologist approved it and advised him it would lessen my chance of recurrence that I think he is feeling a little bit better I just hope I can get through this!

I am going t o have my surgery in Orlando with Dr.jawad/Dr.teixeira on dec 3rd... I live about 10 minutes north of Orlando in Seminole county

I am on 2 protein shakes a day and low carb dinner.. I am from florida
