    Re: What a Difference a Year Makes

    I am SO much happier now. I had gotten to the point last year where I was no longer enjoying running. Even at my mid-heaviest (210-220), I still participated in road and trail racing with my friends....

    What a Difference a Year Makes

    28179

    These photos were taken roughly one year apart...same shoes, socks and shorts. I'm 6-7 months post-surgery. This is the first time I've really seen a side-by-side comparison, and it took my...

    Re: The pre op diet and why it is necessary

    CANNOT AGREE MORE.

    Compassion sometimes means being honest (even brutally so) and upfront...and the vast majority of us can say, "Been there, done that," and we have the surgical scars to prove...

    Re: I know: silly, but it freaks me out...

    Re: I did it!

    Re: New Year's Resolutions?

    My goal is to keep pushing hard to lose the last 40 lbs in 2019. I've been warned that the second "half" of the estimated weight loss is harder...that first half came off in about 3.5 months after...

    Re: T-Minus 20 Days!

    Thanks to everyone who has reached out so far. I've been keeping myself busy with adopting the new habits I know I'll need post-op. I've started logging meals on the MyFitnessPal app, gave up...

    After roughly 6 weeks of pre-op physicians' visits, labs, and lurking on this site, I received my surgery date today: September 12!
