Telly...am I reading this right.....you "averaged" nearly 18mph over a 35 mile road course?

That is amazing...better than some amateur racers...you must be good...what do you have for a bike?

Yes. It used to take me 2 hours 15 minutes to do the 35 mile trudge. Now It takes me a little under 2 hours and I have 3 kinds of bikes. 1 is a Trek racer (which I used yesterday) - it's a 5k bike - carbon frame

Columbia - Mountain bike, I use often but this one kills me, not as light or as fast - $350.00 bike

Mongoose - Mountain bike, Wal-mart but great bike either way. $259.00 bike

There is another bike that I never use anymore. It was 60.00usd but the kids use that one.

Finally I am able to go to the gym!! My bad foot & infection in my incision are heeled!

I did:

10 minutes on eliptical

20 minutes on bike - lots of hills!

20 minutes on treadmill - worked up to 4 miles with a 5 incline.

It was my first time in years so I hope to keep this up for a while then meet with a trainer.

It's a beast. In fact when I ride it, I take mace just in case someone tries to bike jack me.

Madone SL 5.9 WSD - Retails for $5,499.99 but I got mine cheaper from a local person that was selling everything. I got it for a steal. This is exactly the one I have, the color is different though.

      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?
