I enjoy exercise too! It's so much more fun when you lose weight!! Personally, I just have more energy, thus giving me the will to get up and get moving! Congrats on the run!

What I did was just focus on losing after surgery. Don't get to caught up in the little weight you can push, focus on hitting your goal. Once there and have maintained for some time, then it's time to make those weights your ***** You will be able to eat the right amount calories, including your carbs, to pack on muscle mass, but that will be way down the road. I just wanted to let you know that you will get there, it will just take some time.
Enjoy the journey!

Today I jogged 2 miles, a major milestone for me! I don't even care who heard or saw me whoop & do happy dance on the trail! After that I walked another 2 miles just because it was fun to do
Then I got my husband to go out and play frisbee for a while -- an activity we did often in our 30s but haven't done in at least 17 years
It is amazing to actually ENJOY exercise now.
So many wasted years... I'm trying to make up for them!
After that I walked another 2 miles

Thanks for your suggestions but no I could only swim without my legs. i needed to stay of the knee. First time I did as I was told and I am just starting to run again and swim. I did over a mile swim today. It is 95 percent better
I would do both...See which one you like the most. But like others have said...It will never make up for a bad diet (simple carbs, a lot of oils and fried foods). After my WLS I went from one exercise to another to find the right one for me. I thought I would go back to tennis, racquetball, golf. But a bad back told me not to!! So I took up bicycle riding/walking and that has become my main form of exercise. The bicycle; running errands (bank, coffee shop, pay utility bills, doctor/dentist appointments) is what I do now. I'm retired so I have the time to do those things. Brian
Bummer!! I remember in college I would do a lot of jogging...Then shin splints would slow me down. Really made me frustrated. Could you take up something else to keep the endurance; biking, swimming, elliptical, rowing? But there is no getting past the strength training needed for the legs...
