100 mile challenge



Recommended Posts

Hey there everyone. Today has been a great day. My wife's surgery went great and the surgeon was extremely happy afterwards. I have spent the entire day at the hospital, lots of waiting and walking around between the waiting room, cafeteria, the car, her room, etc. I was able to get a total of 3.06 miles in today which puts my final total for the month of September at 126.9! I still can't believe I was able to do this so soon. Thank you everyone for the motivation! Great job and I can't wait to see everyone's progression next month!

How long after surgery can you start running. My dr said, walking, walking in treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike only at this time

I started about 4 months post op. But surely could have started sooner but was afraid to because I was still so heavy. Now I wish I had started sooner.

I'm glad you're not disappointed. I've said all along the goal IS to push yourself and move more. You did that. Proud of you.

I am reporting late but made it, barely, 100.2 miles. I like to live on the edge. ha ha. I was worried that I wouldn't make my 100 as the end of the month came closer.

See you in the October thread.

Butter, glad to hear you are doing well. Good job everyone. This thread was very motivating for me.

I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and I started this past weekend doing some short running segments in my walking. I started a light jog for about 50 yards at a time. Damn I run hard footed. I felt like Bigfoot running thru the forest hiding from the cameras. I will continue to increase my distance a few more yards at a time. I was going to start the Couch to 5K program this week, but with my wife having her sleeve surgery yesterday, I have decided to push that back to start next week. I cleared starting that program with my Dr. first.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
