hi, i just changed it.

guys, it really is ok... really.. more details later..

unfill went fine, im completely unfilled now. looks like we're going to postpone the surgery due to higher blood count levels... im ok with it though... really... i am .... honest

thanks, it looks like i will have to postpone for awhile. im fine with it though. well, not fine, but ok... everything happens for a reason.... maybe if i keep repeating it i will believe it. :biggrin:

mmmmm.... Amy's a cinnamon roll.... :biggrin: low carb, of course ... :thumbup: welcome back. things going on that are just weird... not sure if i'll stay with low carb or not, we'll see...

hmmm... for some reason, i cant rename from here - will do so from work.

i'll rename the thread to Starting BMI over 50, come on in. Lemme know if thats not OK. all is well, may delay PS for a bit, but no worries....

**sigh** Tami - it appears we are in the same boat now ... irregular bloodwork came back from my pre op ... nothing major, will get another draw this afternoon. comes back same result, im postponed too. at work, super busy. will respond more later.

Cerrin, when i was your weight, 3 miles an hour was pushing it for me too ... give it time, go for endurance not speed right now. REALLY... speed will come (im up to about 6.1ish but have been walking/running for over a year mostly walking) it can happen... it WILL happen. just dont push yourself too far and get injured.

:smile::w00t: OMG mommi - i do the same thing ... but the only time i stop counting the current day is after noon ... so right now i have 14 days, but in about 4 hours, i'll have 13 days... :smile: Neal, sorry you are still coughing. what is your experience with the pain pump? my surgeon was strongly suggesting it yesterday at my pre-op and i think that the fanny pack would be more of a nuisance than anything ... :thumbup: but if it works and doesnt really annoy... i dunno ...

TWO WEEKS!!! TWO WEEKS!!! TWO WEEKS!!! TWO WEEKS!!! gahhhhhh!

gahh! just saw this! CONGRATS!!

best of luck to you today!

ive been banded for just over 16 months and have not regretted it once. my only regrets: - not doing it sooner - being a tad overfilled which caused some heartburn - eating too quickly that caused a PB... but getting my band, no way.

congrats and welcome to bandland!!

AWESOME NSVs!!! great job!

mum - great picture!! i couldnt believe the comment about the soap opera either.. those brothers need to go!! GO BLACK TEAM!!

i can have just about anything i want ... in moderation... i :thumbup::tt1: my band!

a 10 minute mile? oh good gravy! that's 6 MPH... for someone starting off?? no way! when i first started i was going about 3.5 - 4. actually, started about 4.5 and was told by several of the seasoned runners on this board to SLOW IT DOWN!!!! good luck!

it should be part of your medical records, you have the right to ask for that... good luck! :thumbup:

Harley, your experience gives me hope! :crying: im SUCH a chicken... loathe pain, but i dont wanna be a wimp. :thumbup: only 2 more weeks!! GAHHHHH!!!!

LMAO... whoa - amazing camera... but i agree with Rain ( i think it was Rain forgive me if not, too tired to double check ) it could be the best thing in the world and if you didnt really want it ... ehhh, not so much.

i used to be really really anal about getting everywhere on time preferably about 5-10 mins early, especially work. but lately i've been either walking in right at 7 or a few minutes after. and it stinks cause my boss is super anal about it. (we're all in management but she treats us like we are hourly). lucky for me, she rarely gets in as early as i do ... except days im running really late and we get to walk in together. that's a lovely walk :thumbup:
