Also, during these (if you check out the website), they will offer the GU gels throughout the course..buy one or two at GNC or something and experiement beforehand..you do not want to be surprised during your event with tummy upset....try any and all combinations beforehand...and portion control goes out the window when I'm training, too....my pouch capacity seems to GROW huge then it will shrink back down..so weird and this isn't all in my head either...
when i training for March, on days of 8+ mile runs, I was consistently eating at least 2500-3000 calories per day..if you don't keep your energy sources topped off, it will show.

I have some questions about fueling during the 1/2 next month. What do you use during your long runs? What do you eat before a long training run or marathon?
I'm just kind of worried about a low blood sugar episode during the 1/2. Do you experience these? I'm more than 4 1/2 years out and most of the people I know who have experienced them are at least 3 years out.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Way to go!!
It is a really good idea to have your early measurements. You will hit stages where the scales don't move but you will lose inches. Having those measurements to compare to will help get you through those frustrating stalls on the scales.
Keep up the good work!

- official weigh in was 133.5 down from 318 on 9/2/08 (yes, I'm happy but this isn't about the number peeps, it's about regaining my life and health)
- the dietician and exercise physiologist told me to just continue what I'm doing and to be sure to stay connected for ongoing support.
- labs should be back this week and I will adjust my supplements accordingly..I have been feeling more tired and rundown so I'm anxious to see what labs will show.
I can't believe it's been two years and I'm super excited about continuing this journey to a healthier me (shout out to Pam T- pick this up on Amazon soon!!)

I also live in Sevier county. I had my surgery in middle Tennessee. I am having my follow up by Dr. Boyce. I lead a support group at LeConte Medical Center on the 3rd Monday of each month if you are interested. It is not related to any particular surgeon although more of Dr Boyce's patients attend than any others because he does more surgeries in our area than any other surgeon. I know Dr Matt Mancini very well and he is an excellent surgeon. You will be in good hands with him, but you will not get the followup from his office that you will get from the Boyce/Williams group. So, if you use him, you will have to be extra diligent to find and attend all the support groups that you can. And exercise, exercise, exercise! That is my 2 cents worth!

RNY at Vanderbilt Nashville, TN July 26, 2010 with Dr Clements. All loss is post op
So here we are again... 12ish hours until I get have to be at the hospital for round two... We'll see how this one goes... I'm still worried about remembering vitamins and there's some other things on my mind after poking around here... but it's not enough yet to deter me.. I think..
