I had my Roux en Y on March 10, 2008. My starting weight was 260# and have maintained 148-150# since Nov 2008. I have done many exhilarating activities since the weight loss. Since. August 2010 I have taken up running. On March 6, 2011 I completed a full Marathon (26.2 miles), and since then i have completed a half Marathon, a 10k and 2 Half Marathons. Now I have taken on a new challenge for Sept 2013...Tahoe Tough Mudders

Thank you! Once you get into running its fairly addicting. I'm sure you'll do great once you get cleared to run again. Your body will remember after a week or so n kick right in.

It's been emailed Hope it helps. The running n cardio is based on my having worked up to that point. When u see run 3 miles, remember of you are just beginning, start out with a half mile and work your way up from that point.

I have a question. What can you eat?. For that I have only 3 months almost 4 and my dietitian said I could eat regular rice. I could you clarify my doubt. Thanks

Well you an eat rice but quite honestly start very slowly with it. Me, rice and Pasta don't get along too good. I always have to stop eating after 3 bites cause it's sticks in my pouch like pork does when I can't process it.

I have to say I am surprised your dietitian would recommend regular rice. Like bread, rice is used as a "filler" in past years when families had a lot less money and food, adding a cheap filler like rice and bread to meal made the meat and other items go further. I also have found that to much rice can affect my RH (reactive hypoglycemia). I know at 4 months I was still eating about 3 oz at a meal, so I went for stuff that I knew would keep me sated longer.

U r an inspiration I so scared Of regain I think My next addiction will be excersie I am so not going back to 313lbs

Hello all...today marks 5 yrs post op and maintaining. I'm still running (lapsed the last 2wks due to night classes n midterms) and my come back half marathon is St Patty's day. I have class k. tues & thurs evenings which happen to be my running days. Eeeeek! So now that 2wls of running has lapsed and I feel like poo, I am switching those days to Mon & Wed.

Here's to 5 years and holding!
