ok, I am soooo not a sports fan. Really I am not!! I like to ride my bike. That is about as far as it goes. I went 40.48 miles yesterday. That is the longest we have ever gone at one time. The wind was blowing the whole 20 miles back. It was a bitch!! I was soooo freakin' wore out yesterday though. It felt like I had ridden 40 miles on my bike...oh yeah, I did....maybe that is why I was soooo damn tired!!!! THEN, last night was my running night. Soooo, thinking I am super woman, the way JC thinks he is super man, I go running. NOT I repeat, NOT, a good idea. My knee gave out on me. FUGLY SLUT KNEE!!! Anyways, good news. My shoulder is getting better. No more pain!!! Yeah!!! I moved my seat up, I think that is what the problem was.

Hey gang, Sorry it's been a little quiet from the Texas front lately (and we're not known for our quietness)...

I've been riding the crap out of the trainer, which is boring as shit. Nothing like watching the taupe walls go by for an hour or so... Two more weeks 'til I can get back on the road, although that may be short-lived. Since I've met the max out of pocket for the year, I might have a few more things taken care of that I have been postponing. Free sounds like a very good price for medical care!

I've been reading with interest, and a little jealousy, about everyone's rides this weekend! Yay! to all of you.

It's a little late for the upcoming group ride, but Borah makes custom and semi-custom bike jerseys (Custom Sublimation). For another group outing, we could get "Team Banded Biker Babe" jerseys made. They're a little spendy and probably have a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks, but what the hell... I'd wear one.

Hope everyone (and their dogs :eek: ) are goind well!

B

My fill is just NOW starting to loosen up some. I still get stuck quite often and DH is getting really ticked at me for eating to fast or much at a time, but.....I still have never PB'ed.

DD is having trouble with a gal at school and her posse of friends. I just hope I make it through this year without beating up an 8th grader. God, I hate kids sometimes. My DD gets called a stupid fat ass and she calls the girl ugly and somehoe ugly is way worse that stupid fat ass. Hmmmm....I just wish I could go change her locker places but then what is the girl gonna say. Friday the Nasty Girl says to DD.."oh, I'm surprised you even came to school today, I thought you would be scared"...today it was two of the Nasty Girls friends that decided that they should open up their mouths. I am sick of school and kids. She had a stomach ache and is probably gonna start faking sick to get out of going if this continues. I just want to tell her to haul off and punch her, but that is not going to get her anything but in trouble.

D, sorry to hear about your DD's problems. I wish I lived close by so I could help. I can be very intimidating when I want to be. My son was having problems at the local bowling alley. I found from a friend of his. I showed up for a bit and now they treat him like he is king shit!

D I am sorry your girl is having problems. I remember being bullied by a 9th grader when I was in 7th grade. The whole thing started because I had a big mouth and made a comment to her about something she said to one of my friends. Eventually it all blew over but I think that experience is the one that taught me to not speak up and stick up for myself and my friends any longer which is really sad. It can be a really scary experience especially when people get their friends around helping out. But I have no shame now...I'll come kick the fugly sluts ass if necessary.

And whoa buddy do I have some serious restriction.

I feel I have no restriction, but have nothing to complain about because I still have my band.

I just don't think I can tough it out another 6 weeks at this level.

JC you are not going to gain 130 lbs in 6 weeks. Don't be so tough on yourself. Obviously none of us wants to gain weight but even if you do once you can get some more saline in your band it is going to come back off again. Besides this should be a super happy time in your life. You get to meet J, HP, and I in less than 2 weeks!

      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.
