I bought myself a new schwinn this week. I haven't ridden in 30+ years. I have a friend who has bee bugging me to do this and she hasn't ridden this year yet. We went out yesterday and did a bike trail that was 6 miles. My right knee is feeling it but we were so proud of ourselves for finish the trail. I still need to get my adjustments down on the seat and bars and get my needed accessories for comfort convenience and safety. I also downloaded this app "map my ride"

How Fun! Riding my bike is one of my favorite Spring/ Summer activities...it's a great way to discover your city, get some exercise and have fun.

I hope you love it and continue! Enjoy!

Sure am glad I bought some biker shorts with cushion. I'm sore today, don't know how I would even ride today if I had not had them yesterday.

The padded shorts cracked me up, I was just saying I think I've lost fat pads on my feet, cause they need padded socks!! Lol

I am really looking forward to getting back on my bike :) Hubby bought me a new Trek bike this spring so I would be able to ride it a bit before my surgery. I'm looking forward to getting my surgeon's clearance to start riding again :D I know it's going to be a little bit (only 4 days post-op), but hopefully not too long.

I love riding. It's like being a little kid again. I actually have 3 bikes -- a cruiser, a mountain bike and a hybrid. I was thinking about getting another road bike because they are so much lighter and then I realized, hey... I can drop 70 pounds off my bike if I just get my butt moving! lol

Riding is the best. Gotta get myself out there.

I love my road bike - it goes much faster than my hybrid!

      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.
