If you are not wanting to stop, then I would consult your doc... at minimum make sure he's aware you...

I realize all that, I just want to give one a try and see if it jump starts that last stubborn few pounds I need. I'm trying to decide between BSN atrophex or LIPO6 hers? I've read good reviews on here about both --- anyone with a a little more direction is much appreciated! Thanks

Thank you so much ladies! I believe that I am taking less than what is recommended dose. I wanted to start off slowly. I drink a decent amount of water but probably not enough. I will try increasing the amount and probably switch brands. I was using my boyfriends. Hopefully that will help. I appreciate the input. Does anyone participate in any competitions?

Finally bought Glycergrow yesterday and used it for today's workout. Wow is all i can say...the pumps were insane indeed! I also noticed that I didn't fatigue as easily while lifting and my muscles looked fuller than ever. Seeing myself in the mirror made me want to keep lifting, but I had to leave eventually! I highly recommend this stuff! Thanks CL

I would ask a Dr. before she starts any- just to be sure, but I believe most are ok.

No X plode made me feel crazy and nauseous, way too speedy for me, and really motivation should come from within.

Talk to your doctor. Neither should interfere with surgery and creatine is used medicinally after some major surgeries. Not to mention both are in whole food sources and neither affect blood thinning/clotting Either way, just do as the doctor recommends.

I have been supplementing with both cranberry juice and the AZO capsules to prevent what I thought may have been a UTI from too much working out. Though the juice/AZO seems to have helped in that department, I now have a stomach ache and stomach upset. Is this a side effect of taking too much? I was drinking several glasses of the low calorie stuff plus about 1800mg of the AZO per day.
