Marathon Runner

Hi! everyone. I'm 8 months post op down 94 lbs. 272/178 and running my first marathon this Sunday May 7th. I was wondering if anyone here has completed a marathon after surgery and if so did you carb load the days before the race? I know we should not consume to many carbs which I don't I was just wondering if it would benefit me the way it would someone who did not have the surgery? While training for the marathon I did consume (in moderation) carbs pasta, rice, bread but not to the extent of carb loading. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Lap RNY Sept 12th 2005
