Thanks Birdmadgirl. Glad your surgeon removed them for you and good to know it didn't interfere with your surgery. I was worried about that could happen. RebecaSparkeles, I see the incisions are pretty high up, I guess I was just curious since I know adhesions can grow and stick , mine are right under my belly button (as far as I know) down to my c-section... How are your incisions healing?

I am totally not sure what the answer is BUT I am thinking that since it is a liquid, I personally would not have it with my meal. Maybe some of the post-opers can help.

I did! I did the King of the Hill 5k Muddog -It was a blast, although I did NOT run after the first couple minutes, it was on a huge hill going up, then down, then back up and over etc... I was unable to do many of the challenges like climb over big walls or the rock climbing one..but I was able to take the option of doing push ups instead of the rock walls. I was able do other smaller challenges like crawl under the barb wire, and jump over small hurdles and cross a net..(not as easy as it seems)I knew going in I wasn't physically able to RUN a 5k but I went with the intent of having fun. Took the kids as well for the kid's course and we were a muddy mess when we got home You will have fun and just go in knowing you're doing something healthy and outdoors regardless of how much you can or cant do. Have fun!

Best wishes on your surgery and recovery, looking forward to hearing all about it! Im going in March so i love hearing everyone elses experiences.

Excitment! Best of luck to you, keep us posted.

Great list, I identify with so many of the above..I will add -not being able to see all the body parts I'm trying to shave without lifting up my fat rolls

I know the feeling...a client just asked me if i am having a baby, I said no, are you saying I look pregnant? He said yes! Ugh..cant wait for that moment too, Im sure it feels amazing!!

You look beautiful, love the blonde too, 90 pounds is a HUGE accomplishment.

Wow handsome indeed! Great job and congrats!

Congrats! An awesome feeling Im sure!

Talk to your dr for sure. I read another post about someone getting thrush from the antibiotics and had a very difficult time drinking anything. Please go get it checked out and keep us posted.

Wow Butter, that actually did make me cry!! Thanks, very uplifting! I guess we can be our own worst critics sometimes. Maybe after this first week is over I will take week 2 C25k to the track at the park. I've done two 5ks this year (Color Me Rad & Muddogs King of the Hill) but did not run, just power walked so I would like to finally like to actually "run" in one AND achieve the obstacles in Muddog next year instead of walking around most of them. Excited about this app!

Exciting, best of luck to you and your wife, can't wait to see your progress! I started drinking shakes last week and I cant have surgery until March! But just tryin get into the "mode"..

Got inspired to try it after reading this forum. Today will be W1D2. I agree with Mistysj, adjusting the treadmill is the annoying part! I hope to make progress though as my walk speed was 3.0 and my "run" was 3.5 Would prefer to do it outside but I'm too self conscious at this point to jog in public. Is it just me?

I want to book with Dr. Garcia also but have to wait for tax refund in Feb. :(Alma said it was a 5 night stay so good to know that's flexible if need be. Will be following you ladies, seeing how it goes, going straight back to work etc. best of luck!

That's exciting! I have to wait until tax refund time next year. Cant wait to see your progress!
