Running- Did it increase your appetite

[AK_Bookworm 116]

I started couch to 5k on Wednesday... I'm doing three days a week and have only done one day so far... my appetite seems to have increased since I did the first day Wednesday and I just wondered if it's related to running or if it is just normal VSG post op stuff when you have days where you feel you need to eat more often (still 2-3 ounces). Maybe it's a combination of both running and having periods through this journey where you're appetite increases. I'm about a week or two shy of 3 months post op.

Running didn't increase my appetite. The opposite occurred: it actually reduced my appetite. Then again, I didn't start running until 3 months post-op, so that may have been a factor.

The only activity that causes an appreciable appetite increase in me is heavy weightlifting. Lifting weights leaves me hungrier than usual for about 24 hours after the weight training session.

Running didn't increase my appetite until I was over a year and a half out and marathon training. When I get over 20 miles per week or 10 miles in a go then it increases. It didn't I Couch to 5k

Thank you both... I'm guessing it's just one of those couple of days where I feel like a bottomless pit. I noticed I'm able to take in a bigger volume of Water too. I won't stress it and just make good choices and eat more often if I need to
