What the heck is "rep power"? - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support

maybe, no one here can tell you otherwise. you are just a few days post op - i strongly suggest you follow YOUR doctor's post op diet. the post op is not designed to make you miserable, it is to ensure your sutures heal properly and anchors your band in place.

i understand ... i think

hmmm... i do have a new fave drink from 'bux... iced chai latte with no ice ... soooo yummie. milk has carbs and non fat is well, non fat... wonder if DH wants to do a 'bux run???

LMAO ... seriously?

oh yeah, its way less than what it used to be, but my waist is still a good 5-7 inches more than my pre-op waist size ..

so how do you get your carbs in after a workout?

Lynn you mean like this?

i purposely ate slowly though ... so who knows??? i had a bar with me, but wasnt anywhere near hungry (or thirsty for that matter - didnt drink anything until i got home)... i was looking for something to carry around and munch on during the Minnie, almonds sounds like a good option - thanks!

pstt... bbk ... open your eyes ...

i gotta push myself ... the Minnie Marathon is 2 weeks from today :eek::thumbup::eek: and i am bound and determined to get a medal ... and you have to finish and not get swept (15 min/mile pace)... i am doing race for the cure next saturday and am thinking about doing another 9 miles (that hopefully my iPod will register - grrrrrrr) Sunday, but not sure if i'll be able to. today was a perfect day for it. great weather (mid-70s) but a little windy. im not sure what my mileage looks like this week. tomorrow is my busiest / most stressful day at work ... SO not looking forward to it. :thumbup:

i gotta though... the Minnie Marathon is 2 weeks from today :thumbup::eek::eek::eek: and i am bound and determined to get a medal ... and you have to finish and not get swept (15 min/mile pace)... i am doing race for the cure next saturday and am thinking about doing another 9 miles (that hopefully my iPod will register - grrrrrrr) Sunday, but not sure if i'll be able to. today was a perfect day for it. great weather (mid-70s) but a little windy. im not sure what my mileage looks like this week.

i think i would too if every time i went to a popular LB forum, i saw myself... you look amazing BTW ... simply amazing!

my DH had a 5K yesterday so i couldnt do my long walk... so i went today. 9.1something miles... wow. i did it. the pace wasnt that great, but i now know i can physically walk the 9 miles ...

hi guys... well i did it, i walked/ran 9 miles today (just to see if i could do it in preparation for the Minnie Marathon in 2 weeks)... i had a relatively OK pace... 16:03 minute mile overall - fastest mile was about 14ish... i need to push harder, but that's another matter... :thumbup: so i did 9.1x miles come home and am STARVING ... like about to gnaw off DH's arm while the Water was boiling. fixed some Pasta for lunch (i've never had a problem with pasta before) made an effort to eat slowly and chew the crap out of my food ... after 3-4 bites or so i was done... it's been stuck ever since (going on 5 hours)... i've PB'd til my throat hurts and i still feel 'stuck', yet im soo hungry... (burned almost 1700 calories during my walk/run and ate 1/2 a bar - 100ish cals - for b'fast)... i'll be on liquids for the rest of the night due to my PB, and i'll take mushies tomorrow. i guess im just typing to type ... anyone else have this happen? thoughts?
