Great!!! Do keep us posted! I'd also recommends the Jeff Galloway training plan - and it's free!

Try bariathlete.com for a plan! Someone on here hooked me up with the site and it seems solid!

Hi Caressa!
I pretty much came to the same conclusion as you! Don't want to jeopardize my success - the doc said I can plan on running the OKC Memorial Half in April of 2018 so that's what I'll focus on. Once I get another half under my belt post-surgery then I'll start working towards doing a full marathon! I didn't know there was such a thing as a "bariathlete"! Thanks for hooking me up to that term!

I'm a half-marathoner as well. I really wanted to do a full marathon, and I know there are tons of bariatric patients who do (google bariathletes), but I just decided in the end, it wasn't me. I don't want to sabotage myself taking in the extra fuel for running. You read so many stories of people (without surgery) who gain weight training for marathons because of overestimating the food they should eat for the running, and I don't want to take that chance.
Sorry, probably not helpful to you......and not what you asked for. I know there are lots of people out there who do it successfully. Hopefully someone can help you out :-)

I'm almost 6 weeks post-op (9/20) and I use the patch multi-Vitamin and Vitamin B's. They seem to work well and the B's give me energy.
