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.:)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
