Canasia Sports

It began a while ago when the ET nurse said to me that the folding flesh of my gut (205 lbs, at 5'10 ) could interfere with appliance adhesion. Then when I put in for life insurance, one of the questions was 'Any changes in weight recently?'   I replied 'Damn straight, and I mind!' So I decided to start on diet and exercise. Right now, I'm regretting a change in diet.  In the 'sheesh' department, my habit of cooking a healthy lunch in a rice cooker backfired when I switched from white rice to brown, and/or when I added beans. No, it ain't a painful blockage.  Saw the doctor this AM, she put a stethosope to my belly, and said there were no funny noises.  So I'm trying bits and pieces, each of which has helped a little bit (and maybe time will help the most.)  Grape juice, crackers, and even an enema. (It was news to me, but I confirmed this with a web search - you can clean out an ileo stoma with an enema.)  Tonight before I go to bed, I'm gonna have some milk of magnesia.   However, I didn't post this just to discuss war stories. :^  I'm still interested in increasing my fiber intake, simply because I understand fiber cuts food cravings.  If there's an alternative scheme for the latter, I'd love to hear it.   Yes, I am drinking plenty of water.  Enough?  Well, I've had enough of mad dashes to the bathroom with my kidneys in overdrive.   I've begun exercise again, which I gave up for about a month prior because of the cold/flu/persistent bug I was not enjoying.  I know how much exercise I can comfortably tolerate - right now. However, my next daft notion is that I'm thinking about a training program for a marathon.  Six months' duration, and I can already walk 6 miles straight.  I figure if I can increase my range 5-10% a week, then I ought to be able to finish (OK, not win, but finish). I've checked with my ET nurse and she said 'Go for it!  Just watch for electrolytes.'  Any ileo/runners got recipes for home-made sports drinks they'd like to share? Any other advice, on diet or exercise?  Thanks!
