I had my sleeve on 9/20. Started at 249 and down to 185. Losing hair now and I'm getting burnt out on certain foods. My biggest challenge is getting the fluids in - my tic told me to get in 96 ounces per day, although it looks like every other program out there says to get in 64 ounces! I did get a tummy bug a month ago and ended up in the hospital getting 12 bags of fluids over a course of 3 days. My question is about exercise. I've been told to just walk until I get closer to my goal weight. I used to run half-marathons (while I was obese) and walking is killing me! Most days I don't do it because it's so incredibly boring! I asked if I could jog and was told no. I don't care for yoga, I've tried Zumba on YouTube but it wasn't too fun either. Any ideas?

I was also advised to wait one year but that advice came from the dietitian. In my post-op diet class I was told to be very careful about consuming alcohol because post-Bariatric patients had less stomach to absorb the alcohol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great!!! Do keep us posted! I'd also recommends the Jeff Galloway training plan - and it's free! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try bariathlete.com for a plan! Someone on here hooked me up with the site and it seems solid! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Caressa! I pretty much came to the same conclusion as you! Don't want to jeopardize my success - the doc said I can plan on running the OKC Memorial Half in April of 2018 so that's what I'll focus on. Once I get another half under my belt post-surgery then I'll start working towards doing a full marathon! I didn't know there was such a thing as a "bariathlete"! Thanks for hooking me up to that term! Toni

I'm a half-marathoner too. Had sleeve surgery on 9/20/16. I know I can't even think about starting training again yet - doc and the exercise physiologist made that clear! I want to follow your post though because as soon as I can start running again I'll be doing the happy dance! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 6 weeks post-op (9/20) and I use the patch multi-Vitamin and Vitamin B's. They seem to work well and the B's give me energy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
