One year surgery anniversary.
As I sit here in my hotel room in Nashville Tennessee on the eve of running the Rock N Roll Half Marathon I can reflect on my changes since my RNY Gastric Bypass on 04/22/09.
I've gone from a high weight of 399lbs to 229lbs.
I've gone from a size 5xl shirt to a large shirt.
I've gone from a size 58 waist to a size 38 waist.
I've gone from a size 15 shoe to a size 14 shoe...sometimes a 13.
I'm no longer hypertensive nor pre-diabetic.
My cholesterol was 173, it's now 111.
My triglyceride was 184, it's now 42.
My HDL was 29, it's now 49.
My LDL was 107, it's now 54.
I don't snore anymore.
In November 2009 I ran my first half marathon. This year I will run at least four half marathons. I will try to run at least three full marathons.
In May I will do a 62 mile bike ride.
In July I will do a one day bike ride across Indiana-160 miles.
In October I will do a 100 mile bike ride.
I'm training to do my first Half Ironman Triathlon this year.
I try to run an average of 20 miles per week.
I weight train 3 days per week.
I bike as much as I possible can each week.
I swim as often as possible. Frequency and distance varies.
In all I'm much healthier and happier now. I have no regrets nor complaints. I wish everyone much health and happiness.

I run for those who can't or won't. I run because I once was one of those people.

Chris, I started bike riding somewhere between the 275lbs to 300lbs mark. I used a pretty heavy duty mountain bike when I started riding again. I rode on a paved trail and really watched out for big bumps because I didn't want to bend my rims. Congrats. on your surgery. Best wishes!
