Im in for 15

10 months ago I could not even walk on my treadmill. Right after Christmas I started the training program on the Runnersworld.com website. I started out running for 1 minute at a time which almost killed me and this morning I ran 4 miles before work. I ran my first 5k in May. I have lost 100 pounds since my Lapband in September 2009 and I attibute a lot of it to my running-Great workout!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to join. I had my surgery September 21, 2009. I have lost 55 pounds and am currently at 221. I have only lost 4 pounds in the last month so I have really slowed down. I'm in.......

I have BcBs of Rhode Island - I was very shocked too because they do not pay for my adjustments. My MD office said this was the first insurance plan they had EVER seen that would pay for an adjustable surgery but not for the adjustments. I tried everything and they WILL NOT pay.

I have been going through the same thing(which is really weird because our starting weight and current weight is the same) I had my first fill last week and have had lots of trouble the last two days with vomiting and pain. My doc says I am really tight and to eat NO MORE than 1/2 cup. I am pretty sure that I just dont know yet how to eat slow and take teensy weensy bites - definately dont want to go through what I went through the past two days again - so today I am taking it VERY slow................... :redface:

Is it normal for me to be able to drink 1 cup of soup 4 days post op? I dont have any fill in my band yet and I do feel full after drinking it (and wouldnt have in my prior life) but just wanted to make sure that was normal?

Hi - I am scheduled for 09-21-09. I am nervous but hoping after some other major surgeries that this one will be a walk in the park. I have been on pre-op diet since 08-24-09 and don't even want to talk about it ....LOL....no need for me to get upset this morning...I look forward to the support that we can all give each other.:mad2:

I had a history of Gestational Diabetes (only during my pregnancies) and that counted because it will more than likely come back at some point if I don't lose weight.

Oh - gosh - I am finishing my second day as well and I am thinking , "How am i ever going to do this?" The ONLY thing that is keeping me going is knowing they wont do my surgery if I dont lose the weight - I could eat a rolled up newspaper right now, I think..........
