15 days post-op and I finally...

[deleteme 176]

went for a run again. Before surgery I would run a few times a week at an average pace of 5.2 mph. Today I couldn't run faster then 4.5 mph, but it was a run nonetheless! The run also seemed to break loose more of that blasted gas as my left shoulder started aching.

It was good to get back to it! It is my goal to run the 12K's of Christmas this year.

I was banded June 8th, Dr. Told me can only walk until one moth post surgery. It's only a few days away but I can't wait to start at least jogging. Did you feel any pain whatsoever?

I felt a little pull around my port, but aside from that it was a normal run. Once I got going that port area pull was gone.

I'm glad to hear you felt very lil pain and hope it stays away for you. Good luck with your new You! ???ƒ

I'm so jealous! My doc said a month after surgery also. I miss working out so bad. I tried to walk the other day but it was too much. I'm only 9 days post-op today so I guess it was probably too soon. Have fun and have a run for me!

My Doc said 6 weeks before doing anything too strenuous.. depends I guess on if you were used to running prior to surgery.. I do the treadmill 5 x a week now.. but I had my surgery in Jan...
