Congratulation Joey! I wish you well on this next leg of your journey! Rachel

Whoo hooo!!! Congrats on both. I'm running a 1/2 on memorial day. I was training for a full, but then my job changed and now I can't afford to take that much time away from the kids. But...I'm totally prepared for my 1/2! Isn't it amazing to move your body for that long of a period! I'm still in shock. Rachel

Hi Linda. I was going to write a similar post. My BM's are much larger. Like to the point were, I can't beleive it fits in my body (sorry to be so gross). I have to switch positions, twist side to side, back and forward, and really work my anal muscles to move sometimes. Then sometimes its like the old days...go figure. I'm trying to make sure I get all my green leafies in...but I'm not the best at getting all my fiber in. I'm going to talk to my surgeon at my one year. I'll keep you posted. Rachel PS. I'll take this over not being able to wipe my on arse any day!

Hi hon, I've never had any puking problems to speak of. Just wanted to wish you well! Rachel

Lisa...beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I feel the same way you do about my skin issues. I had a 9lb and 10lb baby, I'm going to be 40 this year...and heck...I USED to fit into this skin. I'll take my 'paper bag' stomach any day of the week.
