Getting Off Track Pre Op versus Post Op *OSV 2miles*

I ramble about getting off track and what I would have done pre op versus post op.
Off scale victory - Ran 2 miles non stop with a .15 sprint at the end =)
Things to think about if you're considering WLS

Very proud of you!!!!! i think i am an all or nothing kinda person too! but im working on changing or getting control of that....you helped me see that in myself...i will do something 100% but when i fail i do that 100% as well....thanks for the insight. Very good video!

Yeah I wish I wasn't the all or nothing kind of person. It's so hard to change that mentality and I try to remind myself daily that it's ok sometimes to give yourself a break and then just get back into the game. It's a struggle but hey, we all know our weight has been a struggle for so long, it's not going to change our habits over night. Thanks for watching!!

un fortunately I'm a non-dumper too. You articulated exactly what is going on with me. My husband is here for 2 week leave from iraq and we have been eating out late at night. I've gained 2 pounds so far! I'm getting back on track this minute - not tomorrow or next week, etc. Like you, I'm just a few pounds from onderland. We can't quit now!

Sometimes I really wish I did dump. That was one of the reasons I chose this type of surgery. Thankfully, I've had success without it. Good for you on getting back on track. Onederland is in reach, we both can do it!!!

Your doing so great, 2 miles is so amazing, I cant even imagine running. Thank you for sharing, life happens, pre surger i would have behaved the same as you... what else can i eat before i start the diet again... how great that you went to the gym rather than the pantry or a resturant. Hope you have a great week.

Pre Surgery there is no way I would have gone to the gym! It would probably have been weeks before I did that! Thank goodness for this surgery. It has really changed me. Not only physically, but, mentally for the better =) Thank you!!

As time has gone by, I have been less hard on myself. I think it helps that I know now I can get back on track because I want to. Before it could take me weeks or months before I was willing to try again. I hope to one day have the mentality of taking things one day at a time.

Sometimes I wish I did dump. I try to be compliant and follow the rules but, knowing that I can't just have a little bite of something, I'm afraid I'll go overboard one day and eat too much since I know I won't dump. That's so scary to me!! I don't want to go back there

Thanks Cheri! I watched as you did the C25K videos and was loving running. I only wished at that time that I could run. Now I'm actually doing it! I can't believe it myself =) When I think about being on a mission and that's why WLS consumes so much of my life, it's really true. On a mission...YES!

I saw your video and loved it! Isn't it funny how our minds change after surgery and how we deal with it? After I ate all that food, I thought of working out and confessing by making a video...lol

[vkhele]

Girl, I never thought I would be able to run like this. I still have a hard time grasping it. I watch myself in the mirror and am in amazement. It's such a good feeling. When u start, I hope you love it!!

Isn't it crazy how we change? WLS has only been a positive so far. No more whole pizza's for us!!!
