    blackhawkpro got a reaction from Healthy_life2 in Fueling for a half marathon post bariatric surgery   
    Just completed a half Century road bike ride 11 months post RNY surgery. I did my normal Breakfast, during the four hour ride I did dates, banana, Peanut Butter and one Gatorade Protein bar. Lots of Water and nuun hydration tablets.

    blackhawkpro got a reaction from Chrisb428 in Am I eating too much?   
    Hi my name is Joe Ganino. I had RNY surgery in March 2018. In August I started riding a bike everyday. I now do 100 miles a week, so I spend a lot of energy exercising. Keep that in mind. My heaviest weight was 394, I currently weight 210. I average 1000 calories a day. I don’t eat red meat, breads, pastas, crackers, chips, popcorn, grapes, raisins, fried, fatty or sugary foods of any kind per my Surgeon. My daily goal is 1000 and 100 grams of Protein. Last Saturday I road 51 miles at the Tour de Palm Springs in one day. I did not eat anymore or less. I burned 3100 calories on that one ride. I hope this helps. Also I log everything I eat on my fitness pal every single day.
  6. Congrats!

    At five weeks I was plain yogurt and berries in the morning, chewable vitamins only or go to the patch. broth, cottage cheese, string cheese. Water, water, water ! sleep, rest heal, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. I’m at 7 months, 149 lbs. down and feeling like a million dollars, riding a bike 10 miles every day. I had major hernia surgery at the same time as my bypass Bariatric surgery. I was a mess. You will be fine, get your stomach right and everything else will follow.

    blackhawkpro got a reaction from Nfan49@frankie in When to start working out again   
    I had hernia surgery at the same time so it took me longer to start working out. My bypass was March 26th. I ride 10 to 12 miles on a bike every morning and walk my dog 20 minutes every night. I start light weight training in 10 days. Don’t be in a hurry. You have the rest of your life. January 1, 2018 379 lbs, September 1, 2018 266 lbs. I have 77 lbs more to obtain my goal, but I’m giving myself 12 months to get there.

    March 26 was my surgery date. Down 104, 80 away from my goal weight. Feel great, it’s hard but everything worth anything always is. Exercise is so much for fun now. Energy levels have gone way up. Anybody eating Protein Bars yet ?

    OMG it’s been a great 3 months. I have hernia surgery at the same time of my bi pass. So healing started slow. Kinda swollen for a while.
    But in the last 2 months it’s been game on. Feeling fantastic !
    Walking everyday and eating what my surgeon wants me to. Nothing more nothing less.
    Getting on the bike tomorrow for the first time in a few years, can’t wait.

    So I read everyday on this site. 90% of what I read is negative, for most people things are going to be ok.
    I had major hernia surgery the same time I had my by pass surgery. I had to stay in the hospital five days. So my struggles are maybe not the same as others but I do have them.
    I feel great, I’m able to walk everyday, get all my required Protein and Water down each day. Everyday seems better for me.
    I feel my life is under control and moving in a positive direction. Life is not always fair, but when your given a second chance, you better grab hold and fight like hell to overcome your obstacles.
