Hi Tracy, What an inspiration you are!!!! You're going to be our Hot Biker Babe!

I've been riding for years, matter of fact, I didn't have to take the motorcycle class, had my license before that became law.

Hope you don't mind that I come to you with banding questions. I'm hoping for a late Sept. banding. You seem to have the answers being you've lost 170lbs. YEAH!!!!

Biker Babes Unite!!! B)

Thank you! I will answer what questions I can. I know what worked for me. My biggest thing is exercise! I do it religiously and love it.

The safety class I took was extremely educational for me. Taught me a lot. For right now I have just been riding my husbands bike. He had just a small Honda Rebel. However, this week he is buying his first Harley and trading in the Rebel. So of course I will be riding the Harley also.

Good luck to you and hopefully you get that Sept date!

Add one more to your group! Banded June 12. My biggest concern was when can I get back on my bike, and would it bother me when riding. Rode about a month after, everything was fine. Now just gotta work on the regular exercise part and then good to go! Where do you all live? Any good riding in your area? I am in AZ.

Hey ladies; I love this idea of us scooter people having our own thread. WHO else could I

share with today that I bought my first pair of women's chaps..said to order up 1 size so

ordered a 14. We are getting ready to do a 3 day party for Labor Day. Will probably do the

closest..Soldier Iowa Midway Rally. It's only about 80 miles; that way we can come home each night....as we have 5 dogs. Been riding since 1972 when I met my hubby. I ride 2007

Electra Glide with a Ultra side hack. Ride safe ladies.

Oh Ya; Banded 11/30/11...as of today 172....96 pounds lost..Woot Woot

      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.
