I ordered an exercise bike



Recommended Posts

I live in Chicago so I don't have to say anything about the weather. I have been thinking about what kind of exercise I would do during this cold months. I am going to get another Wii because my first one was stolen. I was thinking I need something else so I finally decided to get a bike. I did physical therapy this summer for my knees and an exercise bike was part of my routine and I did pretty good with it. So I thought it will be better for me than a treadmill. So it will be on by January 14 and hopefully surgery will be not too far behind. I will keep everyone posted on what happens.

I lost almost all of my weight with a stationary bike. I sold me when I moved states and I still miss it. I eventually graduated to a real bike and even today, I love cycling! It's tough at first but keep at it, I promise you, you will get stronger, and soon you'll love how it feels!

I used the walk away the pounds cd. I have the one, two and five mile one. I got as far as the two mile and it did work. You might want to try some dvd's they have some good exercise for indoors that you will do well with.

Congratulations on ordering that bike. I found it a great way to get the cardio in and just moving... Because it is not weight baring, it's easier on the joints!

That's another reason I did it.

Congratulations. I wish I used my bike more. A few more miles would help.

Once I get mine let's do a club to encourage others with bikes to ride more.

Yippee MzEboni! What a great decision. We have a recumbent bike in the basement that is part of my workout routine. Now, there is another bike in our house. Upstairs. A regular bike but on a stand so it can be ridden indoors. I think I'm going to move that down to the TV area now that Christmas is over and there's more elbow room -- I need to get more mini-workouts in and heaven knows if I spent ten minutes on that every time we sat down to Netflix I'd have a lot more calorie burning going on. Thanks for the inspiration! And I have a friend in Chicago -- totally get it about the nasty weather. Here, too. A lot of frozen yuck this morning. We need these inside options for our climates. Best wishes to you Eboni!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
