Hey- thanks for your response to my blog. I was banded on Jan 22 2009- I exercise everyday. Normally I run 2 miles on the treadmill every other day. I also am intot he Jillian Michales workout. She is insane but worth the pain. If I am not in the mood for either I sit on my workout ball with 5 lbs weights and do something- sit up or just arms.
I have thus far lost about 50 lbs. On average about 15-18 lbs a month.
in bewtween my meals I noramlly do a protein drink like Nectar- Ice Tea or Roadside Lemonade. that helps with my energy and my stamina for workouts. I drink one 30 mintues before working out and then right after- that is when the body takes in the most portien.
But let me know if you have any other questions. I am super disciplines with this stuff and really careful with my food. But i have found the joy in working out when i try on new clothes!!

About two weeks ago I started a new job which meant I needed to get new clothes ASAP. I was trying on old suits and dress and jsut laughed at what I was seeing. It was like I was leaving behind a person who never wanted to be there. When I put on my large skirt and my medium top this morning I was reminded of what I used to wear and how hard it was to be cute and find cute clothes that were not matronly in my size. Today I am in a Vera Wang skirt and Target top ( HAHA- you have to skimp somewhere :tounge_smile: ) And I have on 3 inch heels - another plus to losing wieght- you can actually wear your heels all day and not have to bring them to the cobbler after a week to have caps replaced. I hope everyone is doing well.. my next adventure will be swimsuit... and for the first time I am excited to put one on. WHAT!!! I never thought I would say that. Well keep it up everyone- as alwasys it keeps getting better!!

For the past 2 months the weight has been falling off but I have noticed some things that make me smile everyday that i never thought about..... 1. My rings are big... I can actually go buy the fashion fancy rings in a store and not hope and pray they have 10 but put on the 8 and smile. 2. I can run 3 miles without gasping for air and limping from shin splints. :cursing: 3. Going into a store and buying a large top or a dress in a medium. :mad2: 4. Being able to shop in any store I want to. 5. Out running my alwasy skinny sister. 6. Seeing poeple who have not seen me in months and have them gasp. 7. Going to the gym and getting the looks from the guys I am looking at. :thumbdown: 8...... There will be more but I just wanted to remind people that this is a journey and even if you dont lose a pound a day the small things for me like going to my jewlery box and putting on my size 8 rings remind me how great things are! Keep it up!! It keeps getting better!

Day 7 Post Op - Sharp Pain in Center of Chest
KEtlinger replied to Kage's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its a gas bubble. Its from them pumping air into you during surgery.. its was def the most painful thing post-op I dealt with. I just walked around and steached alot... but I never laid down flat...ever!!! It will go away but it takes some time. Good luck! -
These are some pictures that I found pre-op and the most recent ones in the green tee are post op.

Weight is dropping like crazy- running on the beach helps a lot. How about you? How are things in your world?
