WOW That's inspiring.. I dream of doing a century! How long did it take you to work up to 100 miles? I started riding on 10/6 and the most I've ridden in a single spurt so far is 20 miles.

Just got done doing 39 laps today. That's 1 mile and 6 laps :) Im right in schedule.

It was a very victorious day for me as I got my a** to the gym in spite of it being a cold Monday, forgetting my ear plugs, and having to put on a suit of icicles (literally!! I left my bag in the car and it was only 29 degrees this morning). All of those would be reasons I backed out of my workout pre sleeve.

Yay Me! Ready.Set.Swim

Gamegirl' date=' Haven't you heard of the surgery of the month club? Lol. I had this one originally scheduled in September and it had to be cancelled. I had to get my sleeve surgery and another doctor's visit taken care of before this one could happen. Last week my social calendar revolved around seeing doctors. After tomorrow, I don't have a scheduled doctor appointment until November 19th. Thanks, Rita[/quote']

Well if you must join a club, id suggest you try to find a Jerky flavor of the month next time! :)

Good luck with the new surgery and let us know how you're doing.

You are doing great. 20 miles is great.

I did my first metric century about 15 months after my surgery and 7 months after I got my first bike. It takes a while to work up to this but its incorporated in my triathlon training so I ride three times a week and try to leave the weekend for my longer rides. The riding club I'm in has three levels (A, Bl and C) so I started in the C level to learn the techniques and proper peloton methods I move up and down according to where I need to in my training. The C's usually ride 20-30 miles (10-12 MPH) on Saturday morning, B's ride 30-50 (14-16 MPH) miles and the A's ride 40-75 miles (18-22 MPH) The routes always start and end at a Starbucks so we get our coffee before we start and when we finish :). I'm usually in the B group except when I'm ramping up for a race or I'm recovering. I like riding with the B's and C's because they are out for the fun of it. The A's are highly competitive and it's all business. That's not what I'm about. :D

      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.
