My name is Jenai. I was banded on 5/22/09 and back in the hospital 6/5/09 with complications. Things are heading in the right direction now and I'm at the gym at least 6 days a week on the elliptical.

I would love to join you all on the mileage challenge to keep things going in the right direction!

Thanks,

jenai

Welcome everyone. Willow and Plans thank you all for your help with the ticker. It's been over a year and I never had one. I was disappointed with my weight loss until I actually saw it in black and white on the ticker. I was very proud of my progress.

Plans I was able to get three tickers. I don't need the third but let it stay so that you can see that the site will allow it in at least some cases.

Everyone, have a great week!:tongue_smilie:

Thanks for letting me know about the tickers. I will try again to make a third one. As of now, I am keeping track of my miles on a daily calendar.

Week one accomplished. 12 miles completed. I signed up for this challenge a few days into the month. Next week will show some better numbers.

Good job everybody!

This challenge really helps me to get it done. Today was my birthday and I wasn't really wanting to go to the gym after work. But I did and this challenge helped inspire me to see it through. Better health is my birthday present to myself.

Thanks!

      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!!
