BG. I discovered the powerful drug called Mackinaw Island fudge when I went to Wisconsin a few years ago and I launched an all out brutal assault on my Pancreas. I am an addict, thank God there isn't a dealer close by or I would be in trouble.

The funny thing is, that I have always been more of a volume eater than a "sweets" eater until I busted off of Atkins. Now there is special place in my heart and brain for sweets. I think it is from staying on the induction phase of the diet for nearly a year. I wish I would have been strong enough to follow his plan the right way, oh well.

MY NEW BIKE EFFING FRIGGIN GD ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12Miles with an average speed of 14 miles an hour! I know I know I am a lowly flatlander and it was probably downhill bothways but what a difference a bike can make! Now all I need is an Ass massage. That is going to be the worst adjustment. The hands got a little numb, but I know how to deal with that.

BG-

You are killing me, girl. I'm happy I have no trees in my yard. Somehow I believe the leaves that do fall in because of the neighbor's tree don't need to be raked, well, because they are not mine.

I just mow them, but they are few. I hate yard work. I do. I pity you and your trees. Give your little heathens a couple of rakes and make them do it. Okay, maybe in a few years...

November 1st huh? You are such a liar.

JC-

I'm glad you're loving that bike. You're butt will adjust. I'm sure you can get a massage...if you pay enough or go to the seedy part of town you can get a complete one.

Stef-

Yeah, that's too many letters. One or two...S was a guy, Slack something. He's not been around a while...you could be ST, SE, TX??? Or you can tell my lazy ass to hit two more keys and shut the hell up. I'd accept that too.

I heart you full...(which is a literal ASL translation).

Congrats on the new bike! What kind did you get? I hear you on the ass massage. The padded bike shorts help a lot, but sure don't cure all of it. Hey, how do you handle the hands going numb? I got some gel gloves, but they don't seem to help much. I always have to repeatedly raise my arms up and back to get the blood flowing again after about ten miles.

With numb hands you only after a few minutes you are probably over reaching to your handle bars, or you could just not be fitted right on your bike.

A quick try and see is to move your seat forward a bit. You'll see it's on rails, on the post, you should be able to loosen a bolt, move it forward and give it a try.

Also, change hand position and open and close your hands as your ride. You can get, if you don't already have, handle bar extentions for a hybrid so you can have a different place to put them.

Nice image.

You know wearing gloves could keep you from getting blisters while you churn the butter. Or STD's depending on how you churn....

JC, do you find overweight women attractive? I am mad at DH right now.....my car stinks really really really bad, like something crawled in it and died. I told DH about it and of course, did he look.....NO......He said, yeah, it stinks.....but did not do anything about it. I am pissed.

Ugh, smelly cars are so gross.

I'd take it to get detailed and then tell why you spent $150 bucks.

hehehe

yeah, see the problem with that....he doesn't care how much money I spend on anything. I do all the bills and keep track of money so it would not phase him one single bit. But that is a good thought, if it would work.

I bought some gloves that actually shim your hand to make it rest even on the grips. I make sure I tighten my abs and flexors so that I am not leaning all my weight on them. I also move them around on the grips when they start to feel stressed.

      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.
