hi everyne been busy working. Just had my first ride on my new bike it felt awarkard. I took bike back to the shop he raise the handle bar three inches adjust seat and changed out the stem to make me comfortable. I rode only 3 miles till by ass went numb. Plus this bike really is fast and i got a little out of control for a second or two. wow that was a rush going down hill the speedometer showed 37 thats was way too fast for a begiinner, plus i am still trying to get the hang of getting feet unhooked from the pedals in case I have to stop or something. oh yeah, I would like to watch you all jump rope are u saying you would give yourselves black eyes hahah later

yeah got bike from shop but it 99 degrees to freakin hot to try They showed me a few things about the bike siad go slow until you get the hang of removing your feet from the pedals, and so on theyadjusted the seat for my height and she really was pofessional about all my concerns and dumb questions. but have to go to work tonite so its going to be another day before I try this. she must have been a bike bitch also!! haha

I just got my bike to a shop to get it assembled and the shoes with the spikes and it will be done friday. The bike shop told me to practice twisting my foot to relaese the spike before I ride because when you stop you will fall over, What the --- I am attached to bike and you have to move your foot sideways to realease youre foot form the bike? does that sound right I FOR SURE DOINT HAVE A CLUE. This is all new for me. I guess better not wreck right away till I figure it out uh! Maybe i got the wrong bike to start out hell I'll give a shot anyway. JC ANY POINTERS WOULD BE GREATLY APPREICATED OR ANYONE ELSE WITH KNOWLEDGE ON THIS BIKING THNAKS IN ADVACNED FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

OH JULI These toe clips when riding do you pull up with foot in pedials besides pushing down? I was reading comparison from running to biking and one article said riding 10 miles on a bike is like running 4 or 5 miles. I know they said biking was easier in the body compared to running. I have not received my bikes yet tracking it ups, it said Tuesday, then have to assemble some of it. Anyways what's a good start on this bike 5,7, miles at the beginning. I run/walk approx 4 miles everyday when poosible. Got another fill AUG 7, I went to homemade ice,bbq, ect wow i did over eat but did not PB, feel guitly going for my run/walk to burn off that ice cream Banana, strwberry, lemon, one scoop each. then to work.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? WOW HOPE U DONT HAVE TO HAVE SURGEY!

NO problem here with the VG band only been banded since May 2007 but like someone else said its hard to find the sweet spot, I have 6cc now and probbaly need another fill in August. If i was u I would go for it. GOOD LUCK!!

WELL I have been reading you girls threads on bikes for the last two days and you all have convinced me to take up this biking craze. I just ordered a new bike have no idea about road bikes but ordered a Motobecane Vent Noir what ever that is. I have been walking/ running 4 miles every other day but getting bored with it and thought I would try this biking. areellady vbmenu_register("postmenu_524311", true); you have lost a ton weight pics look great good luck. I too have the vg band with 6cc but am starting to eat alot more than I should. I have learned allot about biking by just reading your comments and posts thanks to all of you girls and best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caffeine dont hurt the band does it? It just stimulates your appetite I know carbonation is suppoose to damage or eat away at the band over a period of time. Anyone else want to comment on his I would appreicate it.

Suelieggi what and where do you get papaya enzyme thnaks in advanced.

Sounds like everybody here has their own workout routine and it seems to be working for each of you. For me the hardest part for me to workout is the first STEP OUT THE DOOR AFTER THAT EVERYTHING IS EASY. I can so talk myself out of working out sometimes then I get this guilty feeling and out the door I go and once out there its nothing to it and after a shower I feel wonderful and glad I went. good luck to you all also!!!!!

you got that right Majorie, but it hard to stop when it taste so good, but after a coupe of times of that mserable feeling you will stop I found out the hard way did not puke but man I was feeling awful for about thirty minutes or so. DESCRIBE YOUR FULL FEELING MINE FEELS LIKE FOOD IS BACKING UP THROUGH MY THROAT.

<p>Hello, I was banded May 2, 2007 and have had two fills first one 4cc and the second one was Tuesday and I think it is the SWEET SPOT account I cannot eat more than few ounce of food and I am full. I have never experienced the full feeling since I was banded but I have now and when you first feel that feeling do not take another bite or your miserable for a bit. At first I thought I was stuck because I did not know what the full feeling was but after a couple of days I finally figured out that was the sign of being full although my head said keep on eating. ANYONE ELSE DESCRIBE THAT FEELING OF BEING FULL ITs WEIRD. you think you have something stuck but you don't. I have a total of 6cc in 10cc VG band.</p>

Who has had the band on for over 7 years anybody? I have read some horrible complication on this web site and was going to have this lap band very soon but after reading thsese different forums here I am having seconds thoughts now. slippage, acid reflux, coughing up blood,ect.. Is this a small majority or a 50 /50 chance or what? I am a male 52 years old and work on the railroad just curious about this procedure. I have went to a support group in Colombia Mo. yesterday and everyone there seem complications free. sorry for the dumb questions but want to find everything I can. thanks in advanced.

Sara Mos, or anyone. I am in the same boat as you Only I was banded may 2, 2007 and have got a total of 6cc in my vg band and this last fill was Tuesday of this week and I can really fell the restriction I can eat only a few ounce of meat and a small vegetable and one more bite puts me in misery for around thrity minutes whow what a diffence two cc make. At first I thougth I mght be too tight but I can eat solids but not much of it. My question is will this losen up as time goes by. My first fill I never had to eat slow or drink slow but thats not even true now. You would think I would have learned that after the first epsiode of slimming but I am from MISSOURI SHOW ME, TELL ME, ONE MORE TIME. GOOD LUCK TO EVEYONE HERE!!!

are those filled to the max in the pics?

yeah really I was not expecting a fill was banded may 2, 2007 and got 4cc on May 22,2007 in a vg band I guess it holds 12cc. But went on solid foods no liquids felt a little restriction but as the week went by just had to slowdown eating a little but now everything is going down good maybe to good but gulping water is out, it hurts a little, have to go back in thirty days for another fill, guess trying to find that sweet spot good luck tamj!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You All For Replying On The BEER, Coffee, And Carbonations Drinks I Will Stay Awayb From Them And Have Not Any Soda For Over A Month Miss At Times When I See Someone With A Big Glass Of Ice And Soda Or A Cup Of Coffee In The Early Am Especially At Work. I Work As An Locootive Engineer And The Conductor Pours A Big Ole Cup Of Java At 0200 Just To Stay Awake The Smell Really Bother Me As I Sip On A Bottle Of Water.

I have a question for some of you educated banders. Why no soda pops? Why no coffee or carbonated drinks is what my doctor told me but never said why. How about beer is that carbonated too? he said okay on deacaf tea and coffee. thanks in advanced for your replys. Does eat away at the band over a period of time or what?

I got banded May 2, 2007 and got my first fill May 22, 2007 it was 4cc but i have an vg band which holds 12cc total. and yes i could tell the diffence in drinking and eating slow slow slow down or it hurts found that out right a way.

I was BANDED may 2, 2007 and got my first fill today May 22, 2007 a whoping 4 cc in my vg band. I thought it would be six weeks but the doctor said the band would hold 12cc I guess I am one third there.

May 2, 2007 banded witha vg band, may 22,2007 doctor put on 4cc I thought that was a bit aggressive but dont know, can anyone else respond to this. I thought it would be six weeks before a fill and a 1cc or two but not 4 the first time. I had to drink a cup of water in the doctor office nad I gulped wrong, wrong wrong, thing to do i felt what people have been telling me about siping and eating slow and I know what a horrible feeling it was it took about an half hour or so for it to pass. thanks in davanced for your reply.
