Rode my bike today for the first time in 4wks. It was really nice. I was flying high out there b/c my favorite black jean jacket that is all bejeweled fit today. I have about 10 brand new Harley shirts hub keeps getting me for Christmas and they never fit, no receipt. There about one size to fitting comfortable. They fit now, but I hate bulges.

So I was one happy Harley riding momma today!

I am a backrest :) My other half rides an antique FLH. I have toyed with the idea of getting my own for years, but we have such a short season here the bean counter in me can't justify the expense of having two bikes...(sitting in the garage for 8 months out of 12)! It will be interesting this summer, I have been uncomfortable on the back in the last ten years or so --- too fat to fit and too out of shape to sit :) Maybe I can lose the mom jeans at the poker rallies too!

I can't wait to be more comfortable on the back either! I don't ride my own, mainly the reason you don't... We live in MA so riding season is short and I don't see the need lol

@Maddysgram, I was banded Oct 18, we're almost on the same track! My husband and I had never ridden until I started this weight loss journey. Most of my calories (and time) were spent drinking beer and eating pizza! I was pretty much a sloth. So, my husband thought of a hobby that we both could do that didn't include drinking. We took Bike Class this past summer, and bought 2 cheap Sportsters to learn how to ride on. It has worked! Can't drink while riding, and we rode a lot! Got me ready for my surgery :) Just able to get back on it yesterday-boy, I felt skinny! haha

That's great! As long as hub & I have been married(40) there has always been some kind of bike in the family. First were dirt bikes,then small street bikes and after girls were married we both got Harley's. I did change the seat out on my bike for my bigger butt.

It's nice when you live in a warm climate you can ride anytime. Reading the other post made me realize how good I had it.

I'm glad you & hub found a hobby you could both enjoy.

Live to ride, ride to live!

I upgraded my seat too, have a "sundowner" seat, nice and big. :) My present to myself is to buy a Fatboy Lo when I reach goal weight. maybe I won't need to "upgrade" the seat! You've lost a lot! Any secrets? Have you had a fill yet?

Yeah, we live in AZ so pretty much can ride all year long.

      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.
