I'm in! I've been going to the gym on a regular basis. This will help.

Yup! the diaherrea is normal! I wanna say I had it for atleast a week or more. Then I went back to normal.

Oh Jay, I'm sorry you had a crappy post op visit. People are stupid. I feel the same way about my doctor sometimes. I think she has NO idea who I am because she has soooo many people she see's. I'm always in & out no convo or anything & I have to drive atleast 1- 1/2 hrs to get there. The day of my surgery I saw her for one second right before & then after I didn't see her AT ALL while I was in the hospitol! It just makes me feel like a number KWIM? As for the port question YES mine was fine then did get worse after a bit. When I bent over it felt like the incision was going to rip open! DON'T BEND OVER!!!!! :tt2: I did cheat a bit on my post op diet too. I had soft food I could really chew up. Like luvs2 said don't do what I did. You don't want to start a downward spiral. Awesome job w/ the weightloss!!!! :tongue: Don't feel like this is the rest of your life. You will change your eating & eating habits but it will get somewhat back to "Nornal" for you. I can basically eat want I want now. Sometimes this is NOT a good thing. :thumbup: Hang in there! Be happy about your weight loss! You will feel better as you lose more! :wink2:

Hey gf!! Look how far you've come......w/out that JERK {if you don't mind me saying}. You've done great w/ your weightloss & it sounds like you like your place now :thumbup: . Keep it up hun!

WTG!!! You should be proud for holding your ground & not giving in! Believe ME I've been there MANY times myself....we all have. I don't always go the right way either. Glad your doing well. As for me, I'm getting a bit frustrated w/ myself. I have been going up & down w/ the same 2-3 lbs for ages now :w00t:!!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I really wish I could of gotten my fill today but now I gotta wait another week & I can really feel the hunger coming back. :frown: On a higher note.....I DID go to the gym again today :thumbup:. Luvs2~ I could not bring myself to RUN on the tredmil YET. All I could picture was me flying off it lol!!!

I have had my thyroid checked many times in my life & it has always been normal before. I take 2 flinstones daily. I could be doing better at getting a more balanced diet. :w00t: I'll talk to Dr. Vernon about it next time. I got my app. rescheduled for monday.

woooo whoooo!!!! This is your first step in the right direction!!!! :w00t: I LOVE my band!!!!!

Hi everyone. I have to miss my fill this morning because I won't be able to get into boston today. I really needed this fill too. Who knows when they can fit me in again. :-(

WOW! weird!!!! I get this too under my left should blade when I'm hungry! what is it!!!?!?!?

Well, I am a little upset. :tt2: I thought maybe my hair was thinning a bit in the front. I just looked at a few close up pics of myself & I could see the light on my scalp through my THNNING hair!!! :thumbup: This was one of my fears. It will grow back right?? does this mean I need more protein???

Luv2~This is really great what you said to Jay here. It's sooo true! It really takes guts to get out there & get moving especially when your 200-300+ lbs! I am self concious at the gym. I just do what I'm comfortable w/ & stay in the back. I don't know that I'd evr be comfortable to run. :tt2: I may have to try doing the run/walking. You think this speeded up the weight loss??

LMAO!!!! This is me!!! I'm so afraid to move my arms & walk at the same time in fear of this LOL!!!

Jay~most gyms give the first traning session for free & make you a workout schedule on paper. :-)

WOW!!! Your doing a 5k!!!!!! that's huge!!!!!! You'll do awesome!!! I don't think I could ever run!!! I have dreams that I jog & don't get winded at all LOL! funny huh.

Of course I can!!!!! right?!?!?!?! :-)

Well, I just got back from my 1st workout at the gym~YAAAAAAAY Me lol!!! We're going to Jamaica!!!!! YES, I'm excited!!!!! I can't wait!!! This will be like a second honeymoon for us~! We leave march 28th. I wanna try to lose 10 lbs :wink:. You think I can?? Luv2~what is your first name???

I got an MP3 player too! So, I'm ALL set!

Luv2~ Like the new pic!!! Oh yeah! I joined the gym today!!! I'm doing my 1st workout tonight. I really need a fill. I haven't had one in almost 8wks!!! I haven't really needed one till about a week ago I'd say. I go 23rd. TTYL!!! Ps`been working out at home last 2 days too!!! :wink: It's crunch time lol!!! :mad2:

oH NO, I'm so sorry your sick! Trust me I feel your pain.....we get it alot here w/ the kids. Last year we had it 4 times in the house!!! :mad2: What happends when you get it w/ the band??? Does it hurt to throw up???? Well wishes your way my friend. :wink:

Hi everyone! Welcome to the newbies! I have got to get my butt in gear! I've just been playing w/ the same 2-3 lbs for weeks now!!! I'm going away in about 5 weeks so it's crunch time!!! I've started exercising at home & I'm going to start the gym too. I really wanna get in regular workouts!!! Wish me luck guys!!! TTYL!

thanks Ginny & Kiki! I appreciate your input.

YAAAAAY JAY!!!! I'm so happy everything went well for you!!!! Your gonna do great!!!

Thanks for the male side if it. I agree w/ the below part when it comes to my dh~ "The prospect of a newly attractive wife out in the world makes us look at our relative worthiness, and sometimes we come up a little short." Our marriage is NOT 50/50 & having 3 kids in a marriage like this is very hard for me. He should step up his game.

I didn't have this either.

This is really bothering me. I'm going to continue losing. I guess we'll see in time how it will play out. Anymore input is welcome.
