Tinkerbell 10K at Disneyland 05/09/15 (I will be 5 weeks post op, hopefully it goes well)

Disneyland Half Marathon Labor Day Weekend 15' (I will be 5 months post op and I am already training)

Will probably sign up for more 10K or Half Marathons next year depending on how these go.

I don't. I dont have many (actually any yet) other WLS friends except online. Good luck on the half! I'm a little worried about the 10K having never run one before but I'm training at 13:00/mile and hopefully being a bit lighter by then will help.

September 6th Foam Glow 5K Gran Prairie Tx

It sounded so great I had to google Foam Glow 5K after reading your post. Turns out there's one in Charlotte in July & my husband & I just signed up for it!!!! In addition to warrior dash in June this gives me a lot of motivation to get in shape!

Just registered for my first 5K! I'm going to be doing the Colorado Rockies homerun for the homeless in May! I have been training for the past month and hopefully I can run the entire thing by May 3rd.

Two months ago I had only run maybe a quarter of a mile total in my entire life!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
