Thank you Fiddleman for the information!! =D

Well that's just it, I have run a couple of 5k's now but I didn't "train" for them. I just went out with my husband and had fun in the Color Run and the Glow Run. We weren't there for time but for fun and exericse. I would like to start training for time and distance but am having a hard time keeping my energy up. I do drink plenty of water throughout the day and throughout my workout. I don't think i'm drinking 32oz during the work out...probably more like 20 or so. So that is something to work on. I have not been taking any vitamins as my primary doctor did not seem to think I needed them. All of my levels have looked normal post op. Also, I am getting plenty of protein throughout each day...without the use of protein shakes. So that's a start....what now?? =)

I am trying to get into distance running. I have really enjoyed the handful of 5ks that I have done and would like to do my first 10K in November with a friend. I am currently 9 months post surgery (gastic sleeve) and have lost 110 lbs! I have been working on running since I was cleared for regular exercise by my doctor but I have had the hardest time building my distance. At this time I am only about to accomplish 1.5 miles straight before I feel like I am completely out of engery and am going to give out. The rest of the work out I really have to push myself to accomplish 3 miles. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on attaining better energy and great distances??? Any advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

Thanks everyone for the helpful wisdom! And yes, I've basically lost 3 lbs a day since the surgery. But I also couldn't get my full liquids in the first couple of days. I didn't finally get all of my liquids in until about 4 days out. I was having a really hard time. So that might have something to do with it. I was just completely drained of all energy. =\ I'm so glad things started picking up. We were really starting to get worried.

Haha sneezing, that is weird. But thank you for the advice. I will have to ask my doctor about nausea medication if this keeps up!

Wow you look great! Congrats and keep up the good work! You give me such hope! =D

Hello all! I had surgery last Wednesday 12/5/12. Since the surgery I have done great with the weight loss (20 lbs)! The biggest problem I've had is the nausea and hiccups. I spent literally all day yesterday feeling sick to my stomach and there was nothing I could do to make it stop. I ended up sleeping in my recliner (and my sweet fiancé slept on the couch to be near me and the next morning/today I felt completely fine. Also, I have had hiccups like I've never had before in my life. They are constant and painful! I was wondering if these things are normal after surgery and if anyone has any helpful suggestions. Thanks in advance! =D
