Amen! You put it so eloquently.

I have had a relatively easy recovery. I am at 45 lbs lost. I'm pretty happy with that. That's over 10 lbs a month.

I don't know how normal it is but I'm 4 mos post-op and I get hungry after working out too. I usually do a cheese stick or greek yogurt after a workout. That seems to help and I'm still keeping my calorie intake to around 1000 Cal a day and protein is between 55 and 65 grams.

Congratulations! Your on the losing side now. I wish my Dr. had taken my gallbladder. I am looking at surgery again here soon to take my gallbladder. Didn't even know I had gallstones until recently. I had my sleeve done Dec. 6, 2012 so I'm 4 mos post-op.

Hitting the runs finally again after my extended stay in the hospital. I did W3D3 today and then I'll try W4D2 on Wednesday. Hopefully that should put me back on track for my 5K the end of April.

I'm almost 4 mos post op and it's true, just keep doing what your doing and it will start dropping off again in a week or two. I thought I was doing something wrong and had wasted our money and time when I had my first stall. I finally told the little "devil" sitting on my shoulder to get lost! No one invited self pity party to this engagement and this was MY Weight Loss Journey! It took about two weeks but I started losing again and the first week I lost almost 4 lbs which more than made up for the two week stall I encountered. Keep the faith and stay the path!!!

Welcome back! I am 4 mos post-op. Down almost 40 lbs and loving my sleeve! Had a little set back last week. Ended up in the hospital for a week with pancreatitis. NOT fun! Now they're saying I have gallstones and the bladder's gotta come out. Hoping that doesn't delay my progress too much but I don't want to go through another pancreas attack that's for sure! I love the help, support and companionship here on the boards. Look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome to the boards. You'll be a "loser" before you know it.

Way to go! Week 4 is what I had just completed before I went in the hospital with pancreatitis. Hope to start back up again soon.

I am finally out of the hospital after a weeks stay. Haven't been released to start the running again but that's ok since I barely have the energy to walk from one room to the other. I am going to walk all this next week though and start building up my stamina again. I just hope I don't have to back track too far with c25k.

I am 3.5 months post op. I HATE the tube. It makes me gag all the time. Not helpful with how I feel.

I am in the hospital with pancreatitis as of yesterday afternoon. Hoping I get over this quickly. I might have to have gallbladder surgery. That will put a huge damper on my running program. :-(

The only way I've figured out to do it is on the computer, go to the community tab, there is a "find a member" tab there and I just copy and paste the name in there and there they appear. I have never figured out how to do it on the ipad. I will have to try "actingnurse1's" way.

Just signed up for my first 5K for April 27th. I should be a week done with C25K. I am really excited.

Welcome Kdedeo! I love love love MFP! It's nice to have fellow sleevers as friends on there. If you want to friend me I'm LisaT678.

Week 4 is now in my rear view mirror!!

Can't wait for that day. I will enjoy it and think about everyone here who supported and encouraged me.

W4D2 was accomplished this morning. I seemed to be more relaxed with the last two runs then the first two. Hoping I will eventually find my "mojo" and be able to relax with the whole run!

Thread's too long to read from the beginning so I will just "jump in". I am 46 and was sleeved dec 6, 2012. I was sleeved one month before my 46th birthday. I have lost almost 40 lbs and so happy I made this choice. There's no stopping me now! I will live a long healthy mid life and enjoy my grand babies to the fullest!
