Taken off metformin/weight gain.......
Any chance of getting back on the Metformin? Have you had your insulin and sugars checked of late?

Start running?
When I started running over 2 years ago, I did a very modified C2K (meaning I skipped weeks here and there, and really did my own thing to a degree) (I will use my DH as an example because he started running far more recently than I did) After close on three years of "power walking", my DH started running just before Christmas, we tried the C2K on him... He didn't do well with the structure. He needed to be able to do his own thing, so we ran for a s long as he could, then walked till his heart rate dropped, then we ran again, then walked, then ran again, till there was no walking in there at all. He says it really helped him to have someone there to keep him motivated when it got rough. So perhaps you could try to find someone to run with when you are ready to start running?

To those banded for more than 2 years
Banded a wee bit over 3 years ago, feel fantastic, and have kept the weight off for just on 22 months now with very little effort.

All you people do is complain...
To be fair. She may have lost 20lbs in the first week, and she might well carry her weight better than the average overweight/obese woman. But her attitude sucks.

Good Lord. Talk about beating a dead f'ing horse.

I highly doubt she lost that sort of weight in a week. And if she did lose that sort of weight in a week, she must have quite a high start weight.

Losing too much weight - for me
That horse is dead honey, and it doesn't deserve the beating you are giving it. If you are "suffering from malnutrition and low potassium" like you said in another thread, YOU ARE TOO TIGHT and need an unfill. If you are "spitting up" like you said in that same thread only yesterday, YOU ARE TOO TIGHT and need an unfill. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Countdown to last adjustment-UNFILL
You both realize that you are both WAY too tight if you are "spitting up". And by being too tight you risk slippage, erosion and malnutrition.

What's your goal look?
I wanted to be athletic looking, yet feminine. I think I got what I wanted.

Dumping
Dumping in a RNY patient (from my understanding) is when sugars enter the blood stream too quickly, causing nausea, vomiting sweating and diarrhea. Because a banded person's anatomy is intact, specifically the intestinal tract, we don't experience dumping. What you went through was likely caused by the LemSip, but I highly doubt it was dumping.

Hijackers!
I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you have any idea how to cook cats so the fur doesn't tickle my throat?

Least Disgusting Way of Getting 30gr of Protien Per day?
I found the least disgusting way to get protein was to eat it in whole lean foods.

It's got nothing to do with age Lauren. She is just a spiteful person. I have found people of all ages who are just the same. I am willing to bet she has self esteem issues. And I am not a betting person.

Tattooed Bandsters??
My tramp stamp looks pretty well exactly the same as it did when I got it. I will try to dig up a few photos of it before and now if I can.
