I ran wk 6 day 3 and I'm happy I was able to run the 22 mins straight but I'm disappointed I only went 2 miles. Does it get easier to work on speed after you finish the 9 wk program?

That's cool. That's the one I was looking at but I haven't bought yet. Do you think it is pretty accurate?

I know this is a little off topic but has anyone tried a fit bit?

I think they are a year out.

I don't overeat or drink sodas so I guess I will be OK. Thanks for answering. How is your journey going?

I'm almost 2 months post op and I've lost 65 pounds but I'm worried that there is a possibility my stomach might stretch. Two people that my wife work with used The same Dr that I did and I can't believe how much they can eat. Is there a chance that it will stretch?

I guess this is how you do it. Thanks Lisa! I just finished week three and Wednesday I start week 4 I'm kinda nervous.

I was lucky I started walking a little bit the day after surgery and l started c2k at two weeks post op. I guess I was lucky not to have any knee and back pain because I did have that pre op. Just walk everyday and you will get to the point that you will want to see if you can run. I did the first week of c2k for two weeks but since then it hasn't been bad.

There is nothing wrong with that. If you were to run with 80% effort it would be a form of HIIT training which is great.

I didnt love it to start with it was a challenge but now I'm starting to like it and I look forward to each run. Keep in mind I'm on week 3 day 2 of couch to 5k.

That's great that you have run in 3 races. I ran yesterday and instead of trying to breath a certain way I just tried to go farther and it worked. When do you plan on doing a 10k? How do I reply with the message I'm replying to on my message? I'm on an android and I can't figure it out.

Thanks Lisa that is very good to hear. Going from 90 seconds of running to 3 minutes of running sounded hard but wasn't that bad. The hardest thing for me to master has been the breathing and finding a rhythm. Have you already ran a 5k?

I'm on week three day two of couch to 5k and I was wondering is it super hard when you get to week nine or is it not that bad because of the way it builds up? When I look at week 6 I think damn and then I see week nine and I think holysh!t.

Your Dr is pretty liberal. How has your weight loss been thanks for replying

Thank you for both of your answers. I might try a little bit of yogurt to see how my stomach feels. I liked protein drinks up until the day before surgery now looking at one makes me feel ill.

What are some examples of everyone's post op diet? I'm one week post op and I'm supposed to have another week of clear liquids. I'm not sure I can do it I feel great but I'm ready for yogurt or pureed food.

The walking part is true I had surgery at 7:30 am Friday and I left the hospital at 3:30 pm on Saturday and the nurse said it was because I walked a lot.

I agree with SMO. I had mine Friday 5/31 and I thought the same thing Saturday and Sunday but since Monday morning it has gotten a lot better.

Did you just lower your pressure or did you stop using it?

Same here...I've snored my whole life too. There is a dentist here in the metroplex that xrays your jaw and can tell if it is due to weight or an obstructed airway and he can make a mouthpiece that supposedly works.

It probably isn't but it is crazy how much it hurts. I can't wait to be off of the cpap.

I'm 5 days post op and I use a cpap machine and it has been bloating my sleeve so much I can't sleep. Could it be stretching my sleeve and causing leaks? Has anyone else go through this?
