What stage of eating are you at? im almost 17 months post op. eating whatever i want basically. id say you are about on target with your cals, just wont be able to really push yourself exercise wise. i burn about 5-700 cals when i work out intensely... only eating 500 cals, no way i could do that. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH Juli 15 Posted February 7, 2008 I'm running my first 5K on the 17, I know W00T go me, (said sarcastically). I've been running indoors, but it's time to take it outside. I have four runs between here and there. I'm in Ohio, where it's just about freezing. Burrrrrrrrr. Running today 3.5 miles, outside, in the cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
