My YAY me present



Recommended Posts

Here is a picture of my YAY me present for my numbers going down and cutting my Metformin meds in half! The weather is about to get awesome and time to get off my Nordic Trac recumbent bike and enjoy the fresh air! I took it for a spin a while ago and oh my word it is going to give me such a better workout! Life is Good!

It's a Schwinn regular old fashion bike too, no fancy gears, just one gear and foot brakes! Just an old fashion bike for an old fashion gal! Lol

I have one just like it only aqua in color. Got it all rigged up last fall & put big hooks up in my garage to hang it & then never brought it down to ride. But I am promising myself I will this Spring. Suppose the tires will need air. . . . but my son put new ones on it last year so maybe it's okay. This has been such a long winter I do hope warm weather arrives soon! I have a picture we took with the bike all cleaned up, I'll have to brouse around in "my pictures" and see if I can find it. Cheers you up to just look at it. . . :rolleyes: :)

Hi, fruit Loop! Have you been riding your bike? I bought one this past Sunday. Can you say thighs-a-burnin? I love it though.

Love it. I started riding last week after 30 years. I'm exhausted when I'm done. Sure was easier when I was young.

I just got on a bike for the first time since before surgery. It is so much easier -45 lbs! When I hit -50, I am getting myself a new bike! Great idea for a motivation gift!

      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.
