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.

      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.
