JULI (are you "J"?) - You were running three miles in 10 weeks after starting from scratch? Or had you ever been able to run? I think that's amazing! I have never been able to run, and can't believe I am considering it now!

Plus, I feel a little "funny" about running at my size. I know I'll push through that, though...whenever I've felt or been told that there is something I couldn't/shouldn't/wouldn't do, that is all the motivation I need to DO IT! (Just a TAD stubborn, you know!)

I'm a little worried about my knees. The left tends to "grind". My BIL runs marathons and swears it isn't what people say...that if you run properly, it won't hurt you. Have you experienced any joint issues with running?

Oh and Juli is J. But I think she means that she started the couch to 5k awhile back and did not continue with it. Unless you are holding out on us J....

I tried running and couldn't do it because it hurt. I was carrying too much weight on me. That was this past April/May I think. I was closer to 265. Now I'm closer to 220. I was going to wait until 200 to try again, but the forces of nature, or BG and D, have inspired me to run.

Also, I have a 6 year old on her first two wheeler, so I was running behind her...and thought I really out to get structured about this.

You are fitting in just dandy by the way. B, is in Texas, if he'd show his bald little head he could give you a bunch of advice. He's a busy man.

Thank you...that will help me keep everyone straight, I hope! So who is "S"? I hear you about the running. I'm going to give the couch plan a whirl and see how it goes...I may need to wait until I've lost a little more due to my knee. Thanks for saying I fit in! (I think? :speechles LOL)

Speaking of two wheelers my 4 year old has decided he wants to ride a big boy bike. My back is killing me from bending down and holding him while he tried to balance. I hope he picks it up soon lol.

I did a mightly boatload of yard work yesterday. We have this gigantor tree in the backyard (one of three trees actually but this one is huge) that barfs up those obnoxious cotton bits in the spring. Anyhow the tree must be as old as Jesus it is so darn big. My whole yard is covered in leaves and at least 90% of the leaves are still on the tree. I hate raking.

Luckily my binge and reintroduction of carbs has not set me too far back on the scale. I weighed today and I am not weighing again until Nov 1. I say this now but I will probably be drooling looking at the scale tomorrow.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
