I'm with you! I had MGB 8 months ago and am down 126 lbs. I run 10k four times a week and am now doing intervals. I'm registered for my first 10k races this spring but cannot find anything that says what or how a bariatric athlete should eat. Like the rest of the mini gastric bypass folks I eat 900 cals/day but I also burn 1200 when I run. I've upped my Premier Protein shakes from 1/day to 3 and increased my fruits to 5 but there isn't a nutritionist anywhere that has a clue what to tell me. I'm thinking of writing as book based on my eating experiment. Any advice?

I run 6.2 miles every other day and when I started 4 months ago I too shook and shivered as I ran. Get a good compression shirt and pants like that made by Underarmor. It holds all the looseness in place as you run. I did and I love them now. They are skin tight as you can see in the photo below but they make all the difference in the world. Running gets easier as you progress but don't go to fast or you'll get injured. 1 mile to start is too fast. Walk before you run girl. I had my surgery on April 23rd, 2014 in Tijuana and started walking slowly a month later. that progressed to walking quicker and longer over the next two months until I was walking 10k (6.2 miles) very quickly. I'm Canadian hence the metric crap. We hate it too. At that point I started to run a minute/walk 5. Eventually I could run a mile then two and now the 10k. Running is all about form I discovered. If you don't employ the right form you will hurt. It takes time to build up stamina. I run outside. Today it was -23 here in Saskatoon but layered up and ran 4 miles of sprints. Crazy Canuck? You bet but I feel great, pain free, and stress reduced. Brian Trainor

I have a Garmin 620 watch and carry my iPhone with My Fitness Pal app linked to the Runkeeper app on my phone. When I run which is 10k (6.2 miles every other day) Runkeeper keeps track of my calories burned and sends it to My Fitness Pal which then discounts it to from my daily calorie intake. I love it. Are any of you bariatric athletes? I'm 8 months post mini gastric bypass surgery and have lost 126 lbs dropping from 320 to 194 lbs today. I run as mentioned above and love it however cannot find any information on the nutrition recommendations for someone like me who takes in 900 cals/day but burns 1200 running in the hour.

What's the new clinic that just opened? That's interesting? PDL operates there now?

As anyone had Ponce de Leon as a surgeon?

Where did you go to get the price of $3695? What did that include?
