Granny on Wheels.....



Recommended Posts

Well I have decided I might like riding instead of walking for excersize so me and my sister have bought Bikes ...there are many Bike tracks in the area....I am sure we will look a sight... and maybe we should invest in training wheels too , its been many years ..

My cheeky son is charging up the video camera he reckons we could win on Funniest home Videos...Cheeky Brat ... icon_e_confused.gificon_lol.gif

Here is the Bike I have ordered.....should be here next week sometime.....:frown:

Way to go gal! I have a new bike in the garage also... but not enough nerve to ride it! hips and knees hurt too much now, to risk falling off! But maybe a bit further down the line...who knows? But..as for you..ENJOY! :o

I DID It.....

Yes I had my first ride today , with my sister .. Hubby Joe and son David came with us to the factory and we practiced for 45mins late this afternoon , I was so scared and very wobbly but didn`t crash and didn`t need training wheels , I think a few practices at the factory (when no one is at work) we will be o.k the industrial area is really quite too so we will go around the block as well ....

Here I am , I hope the excersize helps with the weight loss , but it helps with my mood I felt so good and happy to be actually outside doing something ....

I hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend all...

Good for you! I am not ready for biking, as last time I did I got bike, butt. I find the seats uncomfortable. But, since I have lost as much as I have, might have to try it myself. When I do it at the gym on stationary bikes, I still feel uncomfortable.:)

      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.
