I was taking motorcycle lessons the weekend of Aug 11th...too hot in San Antonio..I got overheated..so now...I will be going back to finish..as soon as it gets under 100 for more than 2 days.lol

That's cool! I love riding. The course is great and you learn a lot. Advise though: when you ready to purchase your first bike, get something small like a 250cc (honda rebel, yamaha virago). I bought a harley right off the bat and still have yet to ride it comfortably. Now, that I've got a smaller bike, I'll work my way up to the bigger one :)

Actually my husband has a Suzuki Intruder and we got a great deal on a 1999 Harley Sportster...but..we also bought a Buell Blast.. We figure when I get comfortable on the Blast I can graduate to the Harley.

      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.
