Can Running Shift Band?



Recommended Posts

After losing 65 pounds i have now gotten to the point where i can start running again. I started my running program on Sunday. Since i have started running i have noticed that i am not able to eat or drink anything without throwing up. Has anyone else had this problem? Has my band shifted? Idon't want to give up the running as this is what gets me in shape.... but i also do not want to spend all my time hunched over the toilet. Any one who has had eperience with this i would appreciate hearing from!

Thanks! :D

There are LOTS of bandsters who run. I'm up to "wogging"...lol, walking with little spurts of jogging.

I say, call your doctor to discuss what's happening. It could be nothing more than a stomach bug...or something else. Best to know. And, it's not good to be throwing up, so it's time to check in the professionals and figure out what's going on!

Good luck!

After I started to jog again after dropping 100 lbs I did notice that for a little while I had pain in my port area or discomfort. It went away but if it continues call the doctor.

I would call your doctor and schedule a visit. Sometimes right after a run I am a little tight, depending on how hydrated I am, but I have always been able to drink and eat.

I started running in October and I had some port pain, but never any pain with the band itself. The port pain did subside, but I did take a 2 week break to give my tummy some time to adjust and I haven't looked back!

I hope you are feeling better and have been able to get back on the road!

      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.
