My plan for when I was training for the half was to TRY to carb load for a few days before by grazing on Pasta of some kind all day. Not exactly the recommended eating style for a bandster, but I had pretty good restriction back then and just couldn't think of any other way to get the carbs in that I needed. They really are the only thing that fuel me for a 9+km run, I feel flat and slow if I don't eat them regularly when I am running regularly.

I had a friend who did a marathon earlier this year, she swore by having a GU gel every 5kms to get her past the 15km mark. I guess the best thing to do is try a few different combos of food/gels/energy drinks & bars and see what works!

Thanks!

Yeah, I quite like the Gu. The Endura, when made up in 200ml is 90 calories, my bottle holds 500 ml (so I make 400). Really, if you're running 10K what the hell does 180 calories matter? Yet I worry about that!

And still come home and have a glass of wine or two over the course of the evening.

She, my carbo loading takes days too! We went out for a Pasta pig out the night before the race last weekend and I ate about 10 strands of fettucine!

you're just lucky salsa you are still restricted without a fill. i have 1/2 my fill out and can eat a bit (when im not nauseated too much)...

i've found one thing that keeps the nause's at bay is a lime fresh fruit slush from Sonic... i went to buy one this morning and was starving and i ordered one of their Breakfast sandwiches... it was devine and ***knock on wood*** so far i havent hurled...

oh yeah, thread about running ... hmmmm ... sorry - nothing here.

I bought some of the fancy compression tights (linebreak brand) I've been thinking about buying for a while (ridiculouly expensive at $100 a pair) and wore them for a 6.25 km run today which I completed in my personal best time of 35:52 with NO knee pain. Wooooooooo! I could barely beleive it when I got home and nothing was hurting!!!

Okay...I was going to take a better picture with our camera but I just had to post this here. I just bought a new running tank top today because it was only 3$ and this is what I look like in it. Mind you...there are no binders, no pressure garments... just the shirt and my bare belly. Yeah I know...HOLY SH!T

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
