You look amazing! Congrats:) In terms of training, how do you structure food to support you through those runs and how long after GB did you start running? You are an inspiration!

Thank you very much. I started walk/jog about eight weeks after surgery..it might have been at nine weeks, when ever my pain was completely gone and my surgeon cleared me. I used the app "couch to 5k".. then i continued to add little by little until a 5k was easy (about six months).

As for my food.. I know there were times i needed more Protein and in the starting stages i didn't add any additional carbs. So i continued to stay on the menu suggested by my nutritionist. Once I really started focusing on running faster and longer distances I added about 10grms more of carbs to my day. I also continued to track my calories consumed vs. Calories burned and just made sure to burn more than I ate to continue having weight loss.

The day before my half marathon i allowed myself to have as much carbs as i wanted ( and that didn't cause me to dump).

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

P.S.

I was never a runner before wls!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've only recently decided to start this process. Seeing your progress truly helps me in realizing my goals are attainable. I've always had a desire to run but at my weight doing so would only damage me. Glad to see it is possible.
