When can I start running?

[AJKMMC15 63]

I had vsg on 3/16 and I'm sick of walking.. I'm ready to run on my treadmill and outside. When can I start? Incisions are healed. Eating solids just fine. Nutrition is on point, and my sleeve and I are loving each other. We are finding balance and embracing our new life together... but I need to step up the fitness side of things!! ????

Wooooo Nelly slow it down. Your body is healing inside as well. Trust me I was just where you were and ended up back at the hospital. Take your time and ease into the running. It will happen but don't rush it.

I waited three months before I started to run its important that you are able to drink enough Water to help you with your runs. You don't want to pass out because your dehydrated. Give it time you'll get there

If you are ready, most treadmills allow you to increase difficulty while still walking - just use the incline feature - this makes a big difference in my experience, but doesn't expose you to the pounding of running.

My surgeon told me I could walk as tolerated and run as soon as I felt up to it just not to over do it so I started running a little 5 days post op, but I recommend asking your surgeon.
