  8. FIBER. Protein Shakes Alone will might stop you up. Add some Psyllium husk or metamucil.
  9. Me at about 312, just had my 3rd Child who I am holding and he inspired me. This is me at the Moab Half Marathon, coming out of the Porta Potty at 244. Ran it in about 2:30. I am no Kenyan, but it was a Win.
  10. Believe me, we have talked about it and adjusted fills. Every once in a while I am so hungry I take too big of first bite and don't chew enough. My wife takes one look at my face and she knows what happened. Oooops. I don't even try pizza any more, or rice really hits me too. Forget about french fries. My Doctor says that everyone is a bit different in this aspect. I gained back about 12 pounds since October or so. I know it is the candy and being too busy for my work outs.
  11. Before my Surgery I had never ran more than 100 Yards without someone yelling at Me. I haven't experienced what You mentioned, but it may have been your version of a "Stitch" in Your Side. One thing about running that I have noticed. I run late at night and if I don't allow my entire dinner to move well past my band, I regret it. Especially Tacos. Ouch. I am starting the training for my 3rd Half Marathon. Being able to do it makes the surgery worth it in every way.

  13. I had to get a smaller Concealed Weapon when I got Thinner. I went from a Springfield XD 9mm Subcompact to a Micro Desert Eagle 380. No Pink for me so far.
  14. I have that same "Oooops" Feeling, sometimes on the first Bite. I know all about the regurge You are talking about. My Stucks are Painful. I get this Panicky Feeling too.
  15. I Vomit from time to time, but believe me when I say you are WAY better off dropping that weight to be there for Your Children.
  16. Hey Terry! We have the Same Surgeon! I had to do a Double Take. Let me know if You have any Questions about it. It has been a learning experience.
  17. PreOp was the Worst. Protein Drinks. I wish someone would have warned me to include some FIBER.

  20. I started to run. First it was 5Ks, 10Ks and finally Half Marathons. I don't compare my times or pace to people of my same age or gender, what motivates me is that NO ONE Heavier than me is Faster than Me. I'll never be a Kenyan at 250 and 6'5" and when I see pictures of me running, I can't believe how unphotogenic I am. LOL.

  22. I am a chronic sleepwalker and sleep eater. The NES sounds like me to the T. Now that my calories during the day are more restricted, I seem to crave sugar even more at night. I wake up 4 to 5 times to eat chocolate chips, Peanut Butter, whatever goes down easy. Has anyone tried the melatonin supplements. I started at 310 and I am now at 260. I was under 245 this time last year as I prepared for a Half Marathon. The Holidays kicked my Butt.

  24. I seem to have Decompressed. At 22 I was 6'6". At 35 I barely hit 6'5". With 34 less pounds, my postures has signifigantly changed and maybe my spine straightened and has decompressed. I have almost made up that inch I lost. I lost fat from the tops of my feet, which make all my shoes fit funny.
  25. Ooops, found this thread after I started my own. Does this sound like slippage? Golf and the Band Questions permalink I have been about 60 days since my Band with No Complications to speak of. I went Golfing last week and I have a little muscle pain that persisted under my ribs on the left side. It is were I "imagine" my banded part of my stomach is. The day after I golfed I got a small fill, which seemed to increase the muscle pain in that area. My question is if a Golf Swing like Motion can do any damage to the band itself and the tubes it is attached too. Maybe I am being paranoid, but all of my other muscle pain has completely subsided.
