Hey there! I had RNY about 9 months ago and am 25lbs from goal. I have dabbled in running over the last 6 months and am getting more serious about it. I find I can run about 5-6km but then my tank seems to be empty...I mean like tanked!! In the past I have carried a Protein bar with me due to having issues with my pouch of drinking while running (it just makes for a sad tummy!) and have a few nibbles here and there. I'm doing a 9km mud obstacle course race this weekend where I can't carry food with me.....how do I keep the body fueled??

No, it's not a rule, I just don't want to get everything all muddy. I'm sure there will be water stations and possibly food on the course. I've never done it before but it's Tough Mudders little sister. Tough Mudder had food and drink so I'm hoping that I've carved up enough over the last few days [emoji5]

I can't carry anything on this event and it's close to two hours to complete.

Which surgery are you having? My understanding is that the gummies don't have decent values of the vitamins required, nor will you be able to tolerate the "gummie" right after. My understanding if you are having RNY that gummies are off limits forever. I take chewables and soft chews.

I would be curious if it would cause the same issues as cigarette smoking after WLS? Such as stomach ulcers...? I haven't smoked since 3 months before surgery, and like yourself a casual participant of 2-3x/mo (hardly an addiction...but don't put a bag of chips in front of pre-WLS, now THAT was an addiction!), nor have I smoked after yet and I'm 2 months post-op.
