I was wondering if any NJ area Banders would be interested in doing the Tri-State Tough Mudder in Englishtown, NJ this November. Check it out @ ToughMudder.com. Its an awesome event for and even more Awesome cause. Anyone interested in joining me, let me know! Ive done 2 so far and its by far one of the best post band things I have conquered!

Did you find it difficult? We are debating about participating in the Tough Mudder in Texas later this year - I am really intimidated by it :( I did the Warrior Dash without any problem in April, but the TM scares me.

Its def not for the faint at heart. Its not timed, so you have from when it starts to when it ends to finish. It was validating for me in a way. I've done the Warrior Dash too and TM is much more intense. Dont be intimidated! Even if you dont finish, you still have more guts than most people :)

Its funny you post this because I just saw an add for the tough mudder yesterday on Facebook. I too was intimidated by it at first but I think my wife and I will compete in it.

Awesome! I'm not in your area, but I just made this a goal for myself! I'm getting banded at the end of this month, and I want to compete in one about a year from now. I haven't heard much about the Warrior Dash - is that less than 12 miles? Might be a good mid-point goal for me.

The idea of doing this excites me WAY MORE than a marathon.

Warrior Dash is 3 miles. The one I did had about 15 obstacles. It is timed but it really doesn't matter. I did it in an hour with my 14 year old daughter. So much fun. We are participating in Run the Jailbreak in September.

This looks fun. We have been talking about doing this as a fun way to lose more weight and keep active. We talked about training around town doing different things in order to prep for how hard it might turn out to be. I'm excited!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
