The wife and I are planning to do the Zombie Run later in the year! I plan to use the couch to 5k system for sure.

I am new to the journey too, I read somewhere that a good target is a bmi of 25. There is still time to evaluate what a good healthy weight would really be.

So far the True Results shakes have been pretty good.

That's an awesome thing to have a surgeon with such great bedside manner. They are normal people too, which means that some just don't talk to others well. You got very lucky to have a surgeon with such an open personality! Congrats and good luck on your journey!!

That's just an awesome difference!! Congrats!

Awesome! You are definitely getting closer! I just started the pre-op diet, so I don't really have much to say about it yet. Good luck finding the new you!

I am scheduled for surgery on the 20th and am on day 2 of the pre-op diet. Food is all I think about! At least I am allowed 4-6oz of lean meat if I need to feel the chewing sensation. Also 4-6 shakes per day. I am excited for sure!

sorry, double post

Seriously looks like 2 different people!! I bet you feel that way too! Congrats on the hard work and great results! I am starting my journey and getting banded on the 20th. I can't wait to see who the new me is!

I think you are correct MsMaui! It's the elective surgery thing for me too. I figure I need to just tell work I am having surgery with no details due to it being elective as well. On another note. I was diagnosed with diabetes only a few weeks ago. I had my first visit with the endocrinologist today and he is confident that if I were at my original heaviest weight I would be on insulin for sure. He also told me no metformin the night before surgery and discontinue use until 3 weeks post-op. He assured that the lap-band and post-op diet will help with controlling my blood sugar levels. I am really getting excited about this life changing experience! Everything is happening so fast!
