Which couch to 5k app are you using?!?

I just types in couch to 5k in thr Google store and opted for the free one lol. It's called RunDouble.

So far I really like it!

Hey everyone. I am ready to go but my surgeon is suggesting I do the sleeve instead of bypass. Is it true that sleeve patients loose weight much slower and it's able to stretch much easier?

Everyone is different, the future risks of malnutrition and restriction on meds you can use later, added with the fact that the part of your stomach left behind can't be accessed after surgery- I opted to sleeve.

My bmi was low for the surgery, only 36. I was 5'7 240#, sleeved 2/28- down 24# as of today...not even 4 weeks out. (That's all post-op loss)

Good luck whatever your decision is, and congrats on your new life ahead!!

Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks out, have lost 23lbs but have been stalled almost 3 weeks. Really??

Tomorrow is 4 weeks for me too. Been stalled for 10 days. Hanging on there

Going in on 2/14. I'm down 25 lbs from pre-op dieting that started on 1/31.

Wow, please share your preop diet! I'm scheduled for 4/21 and planning to start the diet 4/1

Hey everyone. I am ready to go but my surgeon is suggesting I do the sleeve instead of bypass. Is it true that sleeve patients loose weight much slower and it's able to stretch much easier?

Actually it is the opposite. Bypass patients can stretch their pouch. Initially there may be a difference in how quickly weight is lost with the sleeve vs. RnY. However the gap between percentage of excess weight lost between the two procedures is narrowing.

I'm 4 weeks out. I went from a 22w to a regular 18.
