Half Marathon



Recommended Posts

Hi, so I work a ton.. usually 60+hrs a week. I've still been walking a lot. I had RNY on Sept. 6th. And down 177lbs. I've already mentioned in another post that I'm looking at doing a half marathon in January at Disney. I'm planning on joining a team and collecting donations for "Give Kids the World". I have had some unforeseen expenses with my daughter so even the $150 entry fee would be tight. But I will figure it out if I get some interest. I have to have $1000 in donations minimum but of course would like ad much as possible. It would be making the donations in the name of son who passed away in 2015 from NF1 and my daughter who has it too. Both got Disney wishes and stayed at give kids three world. GKTW.ORG so you can look at the charity. Just a wonderful place. Thanks.

Good luck!

My story is similar. Surgery on Nov. 30 and as of this morning I'm down 117 since I started this journey last July.

I'm running the runDisney 10k at Disneyland Park in Anaheim over Labor Day weekend. I decided to run for a charity as well (Kellsie's Hope, supporting children with cancer) because I knew that the motivation of people donating money and supporting a charity would help kick me in the butt on those days when I just didn't want to get out of my chair and run.

For the 10K with my group the minimum donation was $500. I was surprised that my friends and family met that goal fairly quickly, and I've since raised it to $1000 and I'm only$62.00 away from meeting that goal as well!

So I guess I'll have to run the race now! Yikes!

I have run 4 half marathons. It will be an amazing experience. I still cry everytime I cross a finish line.

      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! 😞
