I was riding as a passenger within 10 days----but not alone. If my recovery was anything like yours will be, it shouldn't be a problem. Within a month I felt 100% normal---and several pounds lighter!

That is one of the first ways my DH said the weight loss really made itself evident, was we had space between us when we went for a ride!!!

Good luck!!

Shouldn't be a problem! You aren't picking it up and carrying it...... your RIDING! LOL

Seriously though, I had friend who had a lap RNY (gastric bypass and she was riding her 82 softail within a month.) actually I think she rode to sturgis from KS ...

I was on mine within a month and had no problems. In fact I noticed that it was easier too minus the weight. Looking forward to that feeling as the pounds go down even more! We also have a posting for Banded Bikers II in the support section. Stop by and say 'Hi'. :peace:

I did within a month and went 4 wheeler riding for 5 hours on day 10. Just take it easy and enjoy yourself. Have fun, there's nothing anymore fun than fiding a harley, you go!!

I had surgery on Friday and went riding my 1300 on Sunday. It really all depends on you and how well you feel.

Rubber Side down and blue skies to all.

      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.
