You got this! Just take it slow and steady for the longer runs times. Right now it is about endurance and stamina not speed.

I did it! It was easy peasy! Well all but that last three minute run- I kinda wanted to quit, I won't lie. But that's the beauty of any exercise you CAN persevere. And I did it!! Yay! It helps that it was nice and cool and taking it really easy is key. I could almost carry on a conversation the whole time!!

I learned that taking the kids can be less lonely, but I missed the focus I usually get when I run. The quiet almost meditative part of the sport- no kids next time. Ps, large cemeteries are AWESOME for running. Noone around, perfect little roads and even very old little grass covered roads. It's quiet, some shade here and there. It was great. Plus, it's a location that actually reminds you why you're running. ;) it was a nice night.

Edited to add - I think the knee thing is a thing of the past. These fantastic shoes plus focusing on not rotating my hips when I run is working great!! Makes running easier too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
