Hello All,
I had been more sick since 4th of July since I had RNY 5 1/2 years ago. I went to my Primary Care Physician this morning. He diagnosed me with Lyme Disease. I will be on antibiotics for 3 weeks. He said it seems we caught it early which is a good thing.
The reason I am posting this is to see if anyone post op has had to deal with this. If so, any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
One interesting thing is as a result of appetite I have lost 5 pounds....still how I have felt is not at all worth it!

I exercise 5-7 times a week for a minimum of 90 minutes. Gym sessions are split between cardio and weights. Issue I am facing is hunger. I am hungry and it is leading me to graze. I am trying to nip in the bud now. my normal day looks as follows.
7 am -Breakfast - Quest Bar
10 am -Morning snack - Danon light and fit yogurt & 25 peanuts
12 pm - Lunch - Protein rich usually under 350 calories.
2 pm - Afternoon Snack - Cheese stick.
5:30 pm - protein bar or shake
6 to 7:30 - Gym
8 pm - I graze while I am getting supper ready.
I am really hungry from Gym time until I get home and then it seems I start and am not able to stop. I take in 1200 - 1500 calories per day. Bodybuilder/trainer friend tells me I should be at or around 1900 calories per day. I am resisting.
Anything stick out that I could do different?
stupid question is the salomon hydration vest is it heavy. I know I am going to be having some very long runs ahead of me and since my race is trail i like to do run the trails as much as I can but it is the water issue. My trainer also would like to see me loops once in awhile so I can get use to running the same route over and over again during a run since my 50k is is running the same trail 4 times. She wants me mentally be ready for it. She said it will be hard to stay focus. We feel it will be the third loop that will be the one to give me problems. Get though that and the 4th time will be get through this and you are done. Happy training.
I try to do all my long runs on trails, and at least on other run through out the week. Due to time, the rest are just on the flat road out the front door. The main reason I try to do long runs on the trails is it's the only way I can get the elevation gains I need. I run with a Salomon hydration vest. I can carry over 120 oz. of water on me so I don't have to plan my routes to refill. In the desert there are no water stops. I have a little triangle route that I like to run some times where I pass back by my truck every 5 miles or so. Those days I just carry a bottle or two and refill as necessary.

the pictures area great. I wish my trail running looked as nice. Do you do all your runs along trail. I have been trying to do most of mine along trails but if the runs are real long. Like at the end of the month 3 1/2 hours I don't do the trails. I pick places to run where I know I can ge****er. What do you do for refilling your water bottles.
Lol sure with your training your gonna cru****!!!

I'll be a beast after I run it. Right now I'm just an idiot who thinks running 30+ miles is a fun idea.

oooh! That is too bad. I remembered C25K. I found it inspirational to do the longer runs with the group once a week.
Next thing ya know, you will be running with the Hash House Harriers singing bawdy songs about beer...
