Planet fitness is very good I have been going there for two weeks. No one bitters anyone nice machines
I have never heard that before. I run first thing in the morning so it's never an issue. I also don't lift heavy, more of a balance/stability type workout, so I'm not sure how much it would matter.

I was cleared to do anything I felt comfortable doing at 4 weeks. Didn't start running until 6 weeks. Haven't stopped yet. Fueling for me is tricky. Up til now I've been using GU, bananas, a peanut butter sandwich, cliff bars, you name it. The problem comes with eating fast. I can't, so it takes forever to eat a protein bar or sandwich, which is the last thing I want to happen in a race. Also washing things down with water can be an issue since there ain't a whole lot of room to begin with. So for now, I stick to GU and nut butter, and the experimentation continues.

Thanks to both of you for your responses!! I think doing all this research has made me become aware that I shouldn't get into the habit of eating lots of junk simply because I have burned a lot of calories, BUT I have noticed in the past two weeks that running makes me hungry. These are the first hunger cues I have had since surgery so I am just sort of monitoring it and making sure I eat the right foods after exercise.
I am very motivated to run each week and instinct tells me to ride that motivation and keep challenging myself with longer races, but I also know that the first year is a lot easier to lose weight and I really don't want to mess with that opportunity.
I think I will go for 5k in August and then train for the 10k in Nov and see where my weight loss stands before the next step.
