OutsideMatchInside... thanks for the advise. I like protein shakes, so hopefully getting enough calories won't be a problem [emoji2] Bandy3sleeve... the half marathon isn't until January, not 8 weeks post-op. I couldn't imagine running 13 miles that shortly after surgery either! That's why I plan to start with a couch to 5k training plan. Sent from my SM-S320VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm not extremely overweight. This will be my 2nd half marathon, and I do run/walk regularly. It's just very hard for me to lose weight, which is why I'm getting the sleeve. Sent from my SM-S320VL using BariatricPal mobile app

I am thinking of having the sleeve done, but I'm also planning on running a half-marathon on Jan 14. I'll have to start training at the end of August (8 week c25k, 12 week 5k2half). I'm wondering if I should wait until after the half to get the surgery, or risk getting it now? Are there other runners that can chime in as to when they were able to start running again post-op?
