AMAZING!!! I always have wanted to be a "runner", but haven't had the motivation to actually START running! lol

I did Couch to 5k about 5 years ago, ran a 5k, then got pregnant and gained lots of weight with a high risk pregnancy. ugh Maybe someday I will start again!

You are inspiring me!

I know people say this. However, if I can do it I know that anybody can do it. All you gotta do is keep your head up and keep your feet moving.

I am scheduled for my Roux-en-Y on March 1 and am looking forward to being able to run one day. I noticed alot of people on here eat less than 1000 calories a day. I am on 900 calories now for the pre-op diet and I can barely get through a one-hour session doing super-easy weight lifting with my trainer. I am wondering, what is your nutrition like?

I am not perfect by any means, but I focus on my protein and water intake. I am around 1000 - 1100 everyday and I walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day.
