What A Different Vacation This Will Be



Recommended Posts

post-58926-13813670016327_thumb.jpg post-58926-13813670017083_thumb.jpgTwo years ago I went to Sturgis Bike Week in South Dakota. I weighed about 250-257. We are going again this year and I currently weigh 176. I was looking at the pictures from last time and I couldn't believe them. The pictures this year will be so much more fun to take. I can't wait to post them here. I was buying XL or 2XL t-shirts last time and now I will be buying large. Even though the weight loss has really slowed down, it's still exciting to see the changes. Here's a picture from 2 years ago and one taken just a few weeks ago. I will post more after vacation.

In 2008 we rode from San Antonio, TX to Sturgis on a Heritage. Awesome trip! We're thinking of doing it again in the next few years.

For whatever reason I couldn't see your pictures. I've never been to Sturgis or out west. Been to Daytona twice. I have been thinking about going next year for our 25th anniversary and know how good I would feel being lighter!

Maybe I'll catch you next year!

Awsome. Went to Key West spring of 2010. Of course we hit it when there was a cold snap. Froze our butts off. So unprepared for cold weather was 85 the week before and week after.

Shape_shifter, I so much prefer Daytona Bike Week over Sturgis but it just hasn't worked out that we have been able to go recenty. Next year I promised my daughter a trip to Disney World so maybe the year after that I'll go to Daytona again. By the way I see you are going to Dr. Kelly. He was my surgeon too and I loved him.

I'm hoping to make anothe trip to Disney during my next Daytona trip to combine the two since they're so close. I just want to go to Sturgis because we've never been west. In fact my first trip west will be to see Dr. Kelly.

I leave on Friday.

      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.
