I WENT MOUNTAIN BIKING!



Recommended Posts

I'd say you're an official mountain-biker now that you have the scars :)

Lol! I was just thinking that being morbidly obese was dangerous for me...

But now getting healthy is going to kill me! :P

OUCH!! Glad you are ok. I had a nasty spill one time while test riding a bike I was thinking about buying. The chain broke when I shifted gears and wound up in the rear wheel. They were shocked at the store when I walked back up with the bike and was bloody. Needless to say, they did't care about the bike...just me. I guess if I was thinking right I could have gotten a deeeep discount on that bike...lol

Lol! Yes I think I need more practice before doing crazy downhill single track again.

Oh my shifting is getting better though.

And as hard as the uphill is its not as scary as barreling down (And over the handle bars) :P

Laura' date=' glad you're not hurt too bad. Wait until you switch to a road bike and start riding clipped in. There is a learning curve. I fell on day two and rolled in a ditch and didn't clip out. My ankle to this day still acts up sometimes. It was 101 yesterday and felt like 98 today. Shooting for 20 miles in the a.m. tomorrow.[/quote']

Oh and 20 miles! That's awesome! I will be with you in spirit, while I nurse my boo boos!

      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.
