Running is not going to keep your skin from hanging. You should talk to your doctor about the running. Sure you could try it but obviously stop if you become woozy or aything. Walking is probably a better option at this stage though.

I reckon I'd run out of fuel in the tank.

I can run without Breakfast on a weekend morning, I usually try to do a long run of 10kms or so then. But I struggle with nothing in my stomach, I hit a wall at about 6kms, where I just plain run out of energy.

If I'd been on a liquid diet for days or weeks, I think I'd simply run out of energy.

I dont have hanging skin after my weight loss, but I do have "some" loose skin, as in, its definitely not in the condition it would have been had I never got fat and never had 3 babies. But I can tell you I dont think running has influenced that. What running has done for me is that IF I elected ever to do anything about it, I most definitely would not require a full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair. I have abs of steel, a perfectly flat abdominal wall, its just that there's a bit of smooshy skin over the top of it that creates a tiny bulge.

Regardless of what people say about long sessions of cardio burning your muscle, I have built tons of muscle on my body and look absolutely unrecogniseable from when I weighted 73kg at 28. Entirely different body shape, much better!

But truly, there's time for that when you're eating again. I'd walk at this stage.

      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.
