9 Month Post Op

[DebbieG 262]

Last week my 9 month post op appt with my surgeon went Great! Thirteen pounds away from my goal. He actually says, I've lost more than the norm. However, I do have a new passion since surgery! It's Running! I've gone from a size 22 to a size 6 in pants and 8 jeans and small tops. I'm so happy with my decision to change my life forever. I would do it all over again. He also asked me to speak at his next Pre op conference. I was honored.

Thank you. I started running about 4 weeks post op. I run 4-5 x a week about 2.5-3 miles.

Did you just jump right in to running or did you follow a training program?

Can you email me I have a question

I jumped right into it. Just started walking/running, walking/running until I ran all the way. It gets easier every run. When I first started, I could only run half a lap. Now I run 3 miles without stopping. <3 Good luck.
