Whose getting a bike???



Recommended Posts

:faint:

I have decided I'm not getting a bike. I figure with the herniated disc and the summer heat I might as well go to the Gym and exercise in the ac.

I'd like to walk at the track but i do have some safety concerns with out door walking, like getting run over because there's no sidewalks.

IS anyone else getting a bike? I really would love to have one.

Maybe at another date.

I don't Celebrate mother's day so I'm not looking for any gifts for that.

Should you even ride a bike with a herniated disc? The hard seat and the funky bending over angle?

I bought a bike a month before I was banded, a Old time cruiser no gears just a plain jane lovely cherry red and chrome bike. I love it! I rode my bike 5 days after banding 1 mile in the am and 1 in the pm taking the kids to school.

I also had a recumbant bike that folded up into a cross trainer, I didnt use it that much and got rid of it. (no room)

In the summer I make it part of my workout I walk, ride, Skate, and swim.

The hubby and I have been thinking rejoining golds gym, but it's a 20 mile drive and gas is high high high!

You can join a gym, ride your bike, swimming, running, walking.... it all works if you do it! I started with something free first.... walking. After I made a commitment to walk everyday and followed through, I spent the money and joined a gym.

Now 4 months banded I go to the gym 4 times a week and in between I do laps in the pool or ride my bike ouside for about 3 or 4 miles.....

I love excersise now......

I have a bike...I got it marked down at target ...I think about 35 dollars. I haven't rode it much though. Maybe this summer I could take the kids to the park to ride? Karah's still not very fast, and you'd get run over ridding in OUR neighborhood.

I have a bike and everyday I say I'm gonna ride it again. The past week and a half I have been terrible with exercise of any type.

Good luck. I like the look of that Walmart bike.

Got mine about three years ago. It has an 80 cubic inch motor, leather saddlebags and two wheels. It says HARLEY-DAVIDSON on the tank and gives out "good vibrations". See it and 49,999 like it at the Republic of Texas Motorcycle Rally in Austin, TX...the first weekend in June. hehehe

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
