So, I got the details on Saturday's ride. It's 54 miles from start to finish with lunch in the middle. It's with the WOW chicas too. I'll be taking pictures because FIFTY MILES IS HUGE!!!!

I'm so absolutely stoked!!!!! And I really feel like I can do it! Oh, I want to get aero bars put on my bike before then....I do, I do.

I'll be going out tonight for my little 23 regular Tuesday ride.

Please resume your non biking talk.

It's been awful quiet on here today. I am going to do some kind of insane ride this weekend that involves my hammock tent and maybe some TP Balls.

Howdy folks, been getting in the swing of school again. I have classes all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and sometimes half a day on Fridays. SOOOO, today was official class day and we got to go early!!!! Yippeeeee, I love that. I also have two online classes, so I am swamped with work already and here I am, with my best of friends.

So, I got another fill. Although, I had lost 10 pounds since the 23rd of July, they didn't really want to give me a fill, but I kinda made them. I didn't want to start all of this class work and start gaining weight.

Well, now I think I am way restricted. Like, Everything hurts going down. I know, even the Protein Drinks. I am thinking that I wish I could eat again. I am never happy with my situation. NEVER!! If I can eat, I wish I couldn't, if I can't eat, I wish I could.

I got my bike shorts and shirt today. I am glad that I didn't get a smaller shirt than a 4 x. It fits and is too snug for my liking, but I will wear it.

No one in my class even said anything to me about my weight loss. I was kinda bummed out about it. We all had to stand up and talk about our summer, so I started out with,

"well, I had bariatric surgery right before school got out last semester and I have lost 71.5 pounds"...everyone was like wow...thats sooo good. But I really wonder if anyone really thought that I lost weight. I am kinda upset that it wasn't one of those,

"wow, what the hell, you don't even look like yourself" kind of things...but NO, that didn't happen. Although, I don't really think I should be worrying about what the class thinks of me. They all weigh easily under 200 pounds, with one gal weighing in at 100 pounds soaking wet!!!! They probably have no idea what it means to be overweight and have no clue how over weight I was. The teacher on the other hand, was like...wow, who are you?...but then again, she knew that I had the surgery.

I am off to read. I will be checking in here, but I will not be posting so much anymore. Gotta keep up with all my school work. and my biking, and jogging, and roller blading, and what the hell ever I can think of to do. Love ya all, and talk to you this weekend more!!!

HP - Those pictures are priceless!!! As Beavis and Butthead would say, "Fire! Fire! F-F-F-Fire!!!!!"

Argh - spent all day in budget meetings, which is foolish, because I have no budget! They ran late; I didn't get my walk today; and I'm pissed about it...

I did find out that one of my best friends at work has taken up biking, so once I can get back on my bike, I'll can ride some with her.

      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.
