hey how is the running going. i finally started to run im up to about 30 to 40 minutes a day and im prob running about 3 miles without stopping which is good but so painful but on the other hand it feels so damn good to be able to do it now..

Wow, I saw your progression pics when I opened the site. and i just have to tell you, I think you were very pretty on your b4 pics, but especially in the pic on the front of your album here, you are stunning!!! I can tell that you have really come far not only in your wt loss but in your feelings about yourself...it shows in your face! Congrats! I hope I'm as successful as you some day.

Some times I feel like I haven't lost any weight at all and then I look back at old pictures.

Definitely! It's not just running, though. I imagine any exercise. Due to drama in my life I stopped running for a few weeks and my weight loss is down to like 2 pounds a month. New Year's resolution is to start running again now that drama is mostly passed.

I know people have talked about it...

I am going through the same thing! And, it sucks. I just cut my hair shorter to try and hide the thinning but it's quite ridiculous. I am about 5 months out from my surgery and lost about 60 pounds. I did slack off on my protein a bit. My doc says he wants me back up to 90 grams of protein a day. I do take my multi vitamin and my calcium. The girl who cut my hair did reccommend the nioxin shampoo, but it's $40. I'd rather spend that on protein powder. Again, does any of this work? -
Sounds like your throat may just be hurting from the throwing up. I just got my 3rd fill yesterday, so still on liquids. I would definitely avoid the bread if it's giving you trouble. If you can eat some foods like tuna, chicken, etc then you probably aren't to tight. Remember to take at least 30 minutes to eat. If you can eat high protein foods when you eat slowly, you are probably ok. If you can't keep down any food even when eating slow, I'd go back and get some taken out. And, it may be your port you feel when you bend over. I have a lot of movement in mine - it even sticks out some times! My doc says some of the stitches on my port probably came loose but they won't worry unless they can't access it at all. I think I started running too soon after. Either that - or all the crazy "adult activity" I started when I lost my first 20-30 pounds!

So before I got my band, I read posts about how people started eating crap and their weight loss slowed, stopped or reversed. I always thought "Loser! You just paid like $10k to get something installed into your body and your screwing it up!" And then, I fell off the wagon - hard. I fell back to my old habits of emotional eating and drinking (wine, loaded with calories). I pushed the limits of my band and ate crappy stuff like thin crust pizza and cookies, even cake and bread. As a result? In the last 7 weeks I've only lost like 7 pounds. Still weight loss, but when you're loosing 3 pounds a week before the fall, it makes a big difference. I went to court to finalize my divorce, I totalled my car and my house went into foreclosure. These are not excuses. It would have been better for me to stick to my plan. I stopped takeing protein supplements regularly and now I'm going bald, really. Not sure if it's the lack of protein or stress, or both. But, it sucks. So, my point? Don't think it can't happen to you. See the warning signs early and don't ignore them. I got a fill yesterday, started running again last week and I am on my way! I REFUSE to weight more than 199 pounds when 2009 starts. REFUSE. So, I got 7 pounds to go. Time to hit it hard.
