its SO true ...

itunes store search for Podcasts for running, robert someone ... they are great!!

i went with the podcast. helped me ENORMOUSLY!!!

remember that every doctor is different with pre and post op guidelines/diets. remember to follow what your doctor suggests. good luck! :cursing:

best of luck to you! congrats on a date!

im at the point where i look forward to the running ... it clears my head... due to rules/regs for marathons / long distance races, you cant have headphones, so i've been running without them. sometimes i put my iphone on speaker but sometimes not... so no music = i think A LOT out there ... (and sometimes it's just literally 'one more step' over and over and over again...) it'll get there... have you tried couch to 5k?

hmmm... i'd LOVE to do a 13:40 mile ... im stuck about 15:xx - still... im S L O W.... slow ... s l o w...... and i agree, Salsa is an incredible inspiration!!!

new me - LOTS of info on bandster hell here - just do a quick search in the search box. basically you are not filled and hungry...

i agree with kathy, give the surgeon's office a quick call. the nurse will be able to answer that. :cursing: good luck!

hi and welcome to LBT..

so sorry to hear about your difficult time. what worked for me for the VERY VERY VERY hungry times is i would fix 1/2 cup of SF lime Jello and have it with me everywhere. even at bed over night. i would eat 2-3 baby spoons and that helped a ton. best of luck to you.

hi Tonya, sorry to hear you had a negative experience with the support group. the band is one of the best things i've done for myself. changed my life for the better no question about it. read here (yes, the good and the bad). there is great support here. best of luck to you.

hi Deb, welcome to LBT. sorry to hear about the rash, glad it's cleared up. this board is full of great ideas. best of luck to you

hi Nikki, welcome to LBT. the band is a fabulous tool! best of luck to you.

ehh, i dont know. kind of pricey. plus you get charged extra if you aren't staying at the hotel. i live in DFW, why would i want to stay at a (not so nice) hotel? JMO.

surprisingly down 5. no complaints here.

restriction is so fickle sometimes... i am more tight in the mornings/afternoons then pretty open by about 2. i am just under my perfect restriction right now and will be going in for another fill after my trip. i say play out the next 1 1/2 weeks, see what happens. keep the appointment and if you continue to have PB issues, re-evaluate how you are eating (chewing enough, slowly, etc...) if that is good, then cancel the fill or tell them when you go and see what they suggest. good luck

yay KayBee!!!

best of luck to you! check with your doctor on when you can progress through the food stages - every doctor is different. remember when you get to solids to CHEW CHEW CHEW and eat slowly.

PLAN? there's a plan?? :confused2::confused2: im staying on plan tomorrow cause i need to ... its a 'rest' day for me (my only this week... )

I Love It When People Post Just To Post.

its really worked well for me... in fact, it seems that i drop most of the weight after my high calorie day. even people on weight watchers do it (google Wendy Plan), or calorie shifting... it works for some, but not everyone... you have to try different things until you find something that works for you. good luck.

you may want to change the exercise up. what do you do now? also, vary your calories, one day do 1200, one day do 900, next do 1000 ... keep the body guessing.

its not real good to PB a lot. are you chewing your food properly? are you drinking with your meals? the band is a fickle tool. yesterday for lunch i had 4 oz ground sirloin pieces, they went down fine, today i had 2 small pieces and PBd them ... in addition, mornings tend to be MUCH tighter than evenings (usually liquids only in the morning.) good luck

dont think its a good idea at all. post op diet is for healing. you messed up, you're not the only one. stay on liquids until your doctor releases you to full liquids / mushies ... good luck.
