Hi!

Any marathon runners out there? What is your hydration strategy? What is your fueling strategy?
I am 2 years out and my long run now is at 15 miles. I have run with and without gatorade chews. Not sure if I feel a difference or not when I ate some chews. I have no issues eating sugar (not sure why).
Thank you!

YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

I meant to post a before and after/progress pic earlier but I just got around to taking a picture this morning. Here it is...same dress, different bod:

Wow you just melted down. Amazing transformation. I love your dress.

March 27th was my gastric bypass. Down 43 pounds from surgery date, and 60 pounds from highest weight. I'd like to lose another 65 pounds.

Hi all just checking in. It has been 99 days since the surgery. I am down 41 pounds at 160 lbs. I now weigh what I weighed 10 months after my second baby. Another 30 and I will hit my goal. I have not lost during the past week. I hope this stall will go away. I hope my March buddies are feeling good and healthy. Keep up the good work!

Hi Leia
It is easy to make your own non carbonated kombucha. If you are in Houston PM me and I will be happy to give you a "kombucha mother". What gives kombucha its fizz is the second fermentation. Just like with soda if you leave it open it will lose its fizz.
Kombucha on friend!

Hi Skyguy,
How did you get your running endurance back after the surgery? Can you tell me a bit your training?
I am about 6 weeks post op. On week 1 I walked 3 miles, tiring but no issues. Week 2 and 3 I tried to jog and hit a wall at mile 1 (pre op I had run a 3 miler same course no issues). Yesterday (6 weeks post op) I tried again and jogged for 3 walked 2. I was very tired at the end but alive.
Would you mind telling me what your daily food intake is like and how many miles you are running per week etc?
Thank you!

“I recently had bariatric surgery and am on a restricted diet.” I say it matter of fact, with confidence. If it’s someone I know well, I don’t care if they know. If it’s a stranger, well, what do I care if they judge me?

March 18th almost 30lbs as well. 30 is amazing! I am praising God for every lb gone... I don't mind if the weight loss slows down due to sagging skin though.... I know this surgery works and time will keep us losing more. Congratulations to you!

Ninjamom2019 - we are surgery day buddies! Congrats on your loss! You are doing great!

I was 237 the day before my liquid diet, 226 on surgery day (3/26/19) and I’m 202 today. I had the bypass. 24 pounds lost in 6 weeks and 2 days. So, I guess I am losing a half a pound each day.

It has been 9 weeks since I started my preop diet and I have lost 51lbs. 17 before surgery and 34 since surgery. Super proud of myself. This hasn’t been an easy journey bc I have such a sensitive system, but I have no regrets.

Had my bypass march 5th. Down 36 lb since surgery and down 83 lb total from highest weight last fall

March 4th was the start of my pre-op diet, weighed in at 250 that day. March 18th was my surgery date, 247 that day. May 4th I weighed 218, so 32 lbs total and 29 lbs from surgery. My app tells me I’m averaging .5 lbs a day. I’m pretty happy with it since nothing seemed to work at all before surgery!

It appears as though they are talking about muscle building Protein Shakes in particular. They can contain BCAA's but I don't believe whey Protein generally does.

I finished my first half marathon yesterday! Finished in 2:12. Had two packages of Stingers chews, Water, and nuun for hydration. I'm glad it's over as my hips and right knee are mad at me today! It was a beautiful day, and I was able to run with my wife, so it couldn't have gone better

you can also look up the Weston A. Price Foundation and Sally Fallon/Mary Enig Traditional Cooking blog--it will show you how to reduce the phytic acid in food preparations. Things like soaking nuts and Beans etc...that kind of stuff! Thanks for the tip. Will read up on it.

Hahahaha there is a name for how I run....slow jogging!!!! In my head it is much much faster.... 🤣🤣🤣
