Thanks! Today I woke up extremely nervous. I can't believe how fast time flys. I'm super hungry and the Protein shakes with on meal is not cutting it. How can I make my shakes more filling?

New to the site and just made the decision to be banded. Getting full support from my family and friends and am doing as much research ad possible. I go for my information seminar on Dec 19th. My goal is to lose 115 pounds and run a full marathon! Excited to meet new friends here and find out what works and what doesnt when it comes to eating.

Im new to this site, but I have been banded since Jan. 13 2010. Not much success. I only have 4.5cc in. I have been up to 6cc and could not tolerate it. Im a bit discouraged

Gigi, I will run the marathon with you! You pick where and I'm coming! I've been looking for someone who will run one with me! Only thing is, I'm an accountant so I can't run one in feb-may.

I was banded 10/5. I was training last year for NWM 2011 when I hurt my back. Have to get under 200 to start running again. I absolutely love it though!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
