so I met with the exercise guy at my surgeons office today.  He gave me some insight & some more handouts on stretching and was happy to hear of my signing up for the 5k. I expressed my concern of not losing weight, and said I've heard various things that it could be due to:   eating too much, building up muscle, water retention, etc. he said the muscle thing prob really isnt the case, although of course I am strengthening those muscles.  said that could be holding onto water, & that after a few weeks the body gets used to that & lets tha****er go.   I'm also to email him a couple weeks journaling of my eating & he'll meet with the dietitian there & they will generate a plan, but feels that an increase in calories is not required for this level of exercise.  (a 5k training)   I cant even remember what else right now.  I think I'm on information overload.   he said that they have a group of runners (post op people) that meet every so often & will keep me posted on those.    I'm pumped about this training now.    he seemed excited about running  &  that excitement was so contagious....I think thats why I like coming here too.  everyone is seems to be excited about what theyre doing & their accomplishments.   that rocks.
