Great article with a lot of good points. Running has fueled my bariatric weight loss journey and has become a big part of my day to day life; helping to keep me focused and on track with using my RnY tool properly. One big issue for me, especially for my longer runs, is proper nutrition. Having a malabsorptive RnY procedure quickly became the centerpoint of my race day plan and I had to turn to #bariathlete dietetic specialists to help develop a plan to get me through my longer runs. Also, wearing compression has been something I have done since my first step on the treadmill and to this day I attribute a lot of my retraction of excess skin to the use of compression during my workouts. Thanks for the great article and good luck with your bariatric post-op running journey. -Jim #220PoundsDown
