Any Tips??

[Kace06 25]

Just a few days after being banded and I was just wondering if anyone has any tips? I downloaded my fitness pal to track everything along with couch to 5K. What else can I do to stay on track and increase my weight loss?

I am a 6 days post op so not sure if I have any tips yet! Haha. I will say tho that the Couch to 5k program is awesome. I have done it the last two years with a group from work. My tip for that would be to double the weeks if you have never run before. We do an 18 week program instead of 9 weeks. So we start in June for our October Run. And find a 5k in that time frame for motivation. This year I will be using the couch to 10k program! I am looking forward to getting back to the gym ASAP. Good luck with your run.

Awesome! I heard it's a great app! How are you feeling 6 days post op?? I was banded Monday and I'm feeling pretty good!

It is an amazing app. I am feeling pretty good. Had a lot of tightness in my chest on Sunday. Then spasms yesterday I think where the band is. Today not as spasmy. Not hungry at all. Staying hydrated cuz I'm scared to death of getting dehydrated. And reading a new Dean Koontz book. Lol

I'm glad you're feeling pretty good! I have had spasms too and thought I was just weird lol!! Coughing and hiccups are horrible!

Yes! I got hiccups for the first time last night! Awful! If that is the least if our problems we are in great shape. I've read some pretty scary things. Feel blessed that is is going so well for me. And you too! Keep me posted on your progress. Would love to hear how the running goes.
