First I emptied my closet 2 days ago, literally empty. So today I decide to go rent a bike and take a bike ride to see how that feels since it has been over 20 years since I had been on one. I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I went 7 miles! Trouble is when I got back to the bike place I rewarded myself with a 400.00 bike! I said what the H E double tooth picks,, this is my reward for 96 pounds gone!

Good for you, you did something great for yourself. I was thinking about buying a bike but in another 40 pounds. For now, I just bought a new shirt in Kohl's (on sale) without having to stretch it out with my hands so the biggest size they had would fit. We all should reward ourselves.

What better way to reward yourself then with something that will only aid in losing more and keeping off the weight you already lost?!? I think it's a great idea, gonna have to convince the husband of that too once I reach 100 lbs lost wink.gif

I was just thinking the same thing. I already have a purse and shoe addiction so add that to shopping for other things and I'm gonna blow thru my savings in a year! But you getting the bike could be seen as exercise equipment so don't even worry bout it. ;)

Great idea! I, too, have thought of that reward in time. I just had my surgery Friday so I'm not quite in the market. I live near our bike trails and used to love to ride, although HILLS are the name of the game here! Might I ask you what kind of bike you got? Details! And congratulations!

      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.
