Ok I have put up a couple links. The first is the pics from Indiana and the second is Caladesi Island not far from where I live. Take a good look at that Rattlesnake, it was about 4 feet long. I had to sprint over to it in order to get some pics. What great fun.

I will try to get the South Carolina pics up tonight.

Have any of you tried a "Specialized" (brand Name) bike?

They are some kind of sweet. I have sold one of my recumbents. Have to repair the other before I ditch it, I am keeping my Catrike 700.

J, if I am remembering correctly, you posted a link to some info on shifting and/or gear selection. Would please repost if you have it. Thank you. Oh, I had 237 e-mails waiting for me what a bunch of slackers I thought they would have missed me, I was expecting at least 500! LOL

Too bad the dude had tude. The people you deal with make all the difference in the world. I was happy with this guy's answers. He basically told me I would be able to get a similar ride and feel out of an equivalent manufacturers bike but, these are the things he likes about this brand. That was a nice approach.

This is the first time I have been "fit" to a bike by someone using actual measuring devices and not "experianced" eyeballs, I think that makes a huge difference as well.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
