Don't know that I'll make 100 miles this month, but it's a great activity, 10.75 miles in the first week after surgery. Back to work on Monday

Doc's office told me 10 days and it was 3, kind of had them under the gun, when it 10 days was 1 day after the surgery date. :-)

I'm in, it's surgery + 5 days using MapMyFitness, one of the tools that my work Vitality program partners with, works well with my Android phone when I remember to turn the GPS on. 1.5 miles down, better get the walk in for today

Thanks for asking the question it helps to clear up some of my questions

The 10 day liquid pre-op diet has made me doubt if this is the right action to take at this time. I feel like I've never been so committed to doing the rhght things for me, and while it's not been easy, it also has not been hard. So I reason to myself that if this is so easy why have the surgery. Doubt sets in. My answer that keeps me on track forward is that even if this is so easy, and I've yo-yo'ed up and down so much but I've never been able to get lower than what I think is 1.5 my ideal body weight always in that 1.5 to 2x range. I see moving forward as the path to be able to reach the goals of being my ideal realistic body weight. So I got the final approval phone call today so next Thursday I take the next important step in this adventure we call life. I still hope this is the right path.

Still lots of days left in August, counting down to the 29th It's good to have some where to read and know I'm not the only one with nerves about this

Good luck on the 28th everybody but.. It's time to start a thread for the 29th and see who else will share that day with me.
