Recommended Posts

Howdy...where are all the bikers gone? lol I bet you're all out riding!!!

My name is Susan and I ride a Vulcan 900. I haven't done any riding this summer, though at 4 weeks post-op I feel like it wouldn't be an issue. Funny how the teenage sons don't think it's cool to ride with mom though...so everywhere we commute together, I have to take a car. WAAAHH

Oh well, can't wait to feel "small" on my bike next Spring hahahaha Maybe it will even not feel like a spectacle riding behind hubby on his VN2000.

Just checking in here...there have got to be more folks who ride!?

See ya!

Honda GL1800 here! Not much riding lately with the gawd awful heat we've had all summer! Looking forward to cooler fall rides.

My riding jacket is 3X and I swim in it despite having all the straps pulled as tight as possible. Once I actually grabbed my wifes coat and had BOTH sleeves on before I realized it was her MEDIUM jacket! That was a few months and a few pounds ago too.

I ride a HD Sportster 800L. Well, haven't ridden in a while as it's been way too HOT this summer in SoCal. Looking forward to some cooler fall weather :)

Gorgeous! (Bikes and view !)

Thanks! We are talking about taking a trip down the coast in the spring... Depends on the weather. The big debate in my mind is bring the kids or leave the kids. hahahahaha Leaving 2 teens at home may NOT be a bright idea, no matter how GOOD they are :o

We took a cross country trip in 2008. It was 104 degrees for quite a bit of it as we travelled from Nashville... 90 minute segments, drink a bottle, poor a bottle over your head. Repeat.

Ha Ha. That reminded me of when I was younger and my father would insist on dropping me off to school or other places on this old classic Enfield he had. I hated riding it in the back. However as I got into college it basically became my bike and I loved that thing. I rode it everywhere, however the minute you tried to go a bit fast the engine would start misfiring. That's part of the fun of owning a classic bike. I had a Ducati Monster 696 for a few years and it was awesome but parking in NYC was a pain and expensive so I got rid of the bike, which I regret doing. I am thinking of buying a new bike next year around spring time (also give me time to loose more weight). Got my eye on the Aprilia MANA 850.

Another one here, and just got freshly sleeved. I ride a Honda VTX 1300 w/ full gear no matter what time of the year. Even tho I'm only 4 weeks out, most of my gear is too big for me already (boots, gloves, jacket).

      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.
