Topic: something happened to my brain today
over the last few days some events have really been messing with my head... first off i went Sunday night to buy some new pants i bought a size smaller then i was in and i did not try on the new ones till Monday morning.... and way too big !!! well i went and got new ones and i had to buy 38" pants... wow 42" to 38" in one step that's huge! so Tuesday morning i went to the gym to workout and i weighed my self and i was down 4lbs which put my total loss to 90 lbs in 5mos. well i decided that it was time to get rid of all my clothes that did not fit any more after sorting through 18 years of clothes and finding the ones that fit the rest were bagged to be given away. today i was at work and i looked in a mirror and the person i saw in the mirror was not "fat" just chunky ... for the first time i feel like i deserve the complements and praise that i have been getting!
i will NEVER put this weight back on this feels too good! it feels WAY better then pizza tastes!
thanks for listing need to rant/brag

That is tooo funny, I also can not eat any bread or bread like stuff, no rice, no pasta, no wraps, it is very strange that I can take down a bag of chips but can not have a salad, any lefy type veggies just kill me.....very odd, but I have no trouble with meats, other people are always telling me that they can not eat hamburger or certin cuts of steak, very strange........Do you find with the band some days are better than others as far as foods? It is strange how it works
Topic: 61 LBS down and ran 1st 5K on Sat....
Yes, it's true. Had my surgery 7/20/09 and am now down 61 lbs, weighing in at 188. 28 more lbs to go to reach my personal goal. While working out I've been able to build up my durency and cardio and ran my very first 5K on Sat. 4/3/10 and came in at 41 minutes. I owe that to my personal exercise partner and friend Ann.... I never thought I would run! But now I've got the bug and am getting signed up for at least 1 - 2 5K's a month and got my company to sponsor me. They are goingot pay for my registration fees and get me couple shirts with their logo's on them. This has been an incredible ride and I feel more alive now than I thoght I ever would. thank you lap-band and Dr. Gould and the team at DHMC Manchester...

Hi,
Boy, you are actually pretty lucky that you only have a problem with lettuce. I am unable to eat soft bread, bagels, rolls, rice, pork (unless it is really moist) and most pastas. I don't have a problem with lettuce, but I really don't eat much of it anymore.

That's so awesome! Good for you! I'm going Friday but w/ easter and I have had a nasty couple of weeks with temptation failure I'm afraid I am not going to make the 10 lb mark at all! That's all I have to do. I have all my paper work done, psych evals! just the dang 10 lbs I have to loose just to make the appt w/ my surgeon! It's so hard!
