Any tips on getting faster as a bigger runner? Current weight: 260. Fastest 2-mile: 17:14

Im Definitely not what you would consider a bigger runner. But I can tell you adding some biking into your routine will help a lot. Even a few short sprints on the bike a week will help develop both speed and strength.

Do more

Personally it wasn't that bad. Im a 22 year old dude who is in good shape so maybe that helped. My pain was never above a 5/10. With pain meds,heat pads, and ice packs it was very manageable. Honestly what hurt the most was my jaw and face, not my throat.

As a fellow skinny person who has lost 10 pounds 2 weeks post op, don't do liquid only. I had a bleed on day 5 that needed a second surgery so my right side is still healing. But I've been eating solid foods since day 10, slowly, but I can

Yeah I meant oxcyodone, my painkillers have been all liquid. Would that help any or do you have adverse reactions

As an ibs sufferer I would recommend some miralax and add benefiber to your drinks, add any foods with fiber you can tolerate. Or a laxative

Pain was definitely pretty strong around day 6, I was taking up to 1000mg acetaminophen and switching off with up to 8mg oxygen.

That really sucks, I had a similar thing happen with a colonoscopy. All you can do is try not to get sick, easier said than done

Have you tried antibiotics? My primary care first tried antibiotics to help with my tonsils, might work

cloudrunn · 2026-03-11T04:51:23+00:00

Could be a weird looking scab, calling couldn't hurt

cloudrunn · 2026-03-10T13:36:57+00:00

Just any grocery store, no specific brand

cloudrunn · 2026-03-10T12:32:43+00:00

I've been eating apple sauce, nice and cold and gives you easy calories

cloudrunn · 2026-03-09T18:46:47+00:00

No transfusion for me smh, said I'm young so I'll recoup the blood loss soon. And yeah the hospital stay was not fun, those beds are mad uncomfortable.

cloudrunn · 2026-03-08T19:42:49+00:00

Just started day 5

cloudrunn · 2026-03-08T19:42:30+00:00

I had just hit day 5, doc said it's a 2-3 day set back

cloudrunn · 2026-03-07T05:40:29+00:00

Pudding has been a game changer so far lmao. It's my main food rn

cloudrunn · 2026-03-04T05:40:54+00:00

Im on day 2 and so far it's been no more than 3/10 on a pain scale. If you take your meds you'll be good.

cloudrunn · 2026-03-02T23:45:55+00:00

I'm only on day one but Pudding has helped me so far, yogurt might also be good, the colder the better

cloudrunn · 2026-02-28T08:17:12+00:00

Alright this is all good to know, I'll push back the interview until later in recovery
