  1. 1. What week are you running this week



Recommended Posts

Isn't as bad as I feared because we get longer rest/walk periods. I found that made all the difference - by the end of the walk I was mostly ready to go again!

Ok, see, that was totally not me! I was soooo not ready to go again. I was ready to fall to the ground and take a nap! I think I'm going to have to take 2 days in between "runs".

And whos, I can already see your are gonna be on my a$$ for this entire program, huh?:) Now the question is when we finish it and are able to run 5k, what next?!? Half marathon? I'm already exhausted!!!!!

I finished week one on Saturday. I was planning to start week 2 today but woke up with some sort of stomach bug. This is the first time I have felt sick since banding. I am very nervous about throwing up...so far so good. I had some crystal light and some crackers and think the worst has passed. Looks like running will have to wait until tomorrow!:sick

hi losin -

I came home from a really bad day at work and did my second run of week 2 (I know I am a day ahead of everyone) and I felt so much better afterwards. During I was huffing and puffing and wondering if I was going to make it.

Losing, that's 471 calories for 30 minutes. That's awesome...now I think the machines are totally lying to me. It said that I had burned 220 calories for a half an hour, but I sweat crazier than I do on the elliptical when I burn over 400 calories. I wish they had a bodybugg compatible with a mac.....

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
