This is my first posting. I used to ride bikes years ago. A couple of weeks after surgery I started riding my bike around my complex. After that I would get up early in the morning and ride a mile or so down the road and back. As I began to loose more weight I began to ride further. I started riding one or two days a week. Now I ride 4 to 6 days a week. I do a 15 mile loop every morning before I go to work. Many times when I get home from work if I'm stressed out I go for another ride. I am probably averaging 100 miles per week. I am 8 1/2 months post surgery and have lost 81 lbs.

Bicycle riding and exercise has become as soothing as a snickers bar used be. It has become more fun riding around the Northern Los Angeles area.

Welcome TJ, nice bikes. You are so close to goal...way to go....

JC, thanks for nothing. Just kidding. I just thought someone would know something to tell her. She thinks because I took a computer class back in 93 that I am this computer person. I am not. Oh well, thanks for the feed back. I have no idea why she wants to get on for the father in law, he is not going to use it, but she is strange sometimes.

Hi TJ welcome.

I'm busy going to as busy (as my brother says) a one eyed cat watching two mouse holes until Saturday.

Catch up with all then.

Hey Gang - Sorry it's been more than a week since i've posted, though it's not for a lack of trying. Been having some issues with the Internet here at casa swain... (fugly slut internet...)

TX - welcome - glad to see another "bycyler" from the Great State of Texas. I grew up in Hurst about 2-3 miles up Precinct from the surical center that Dr. Marsden uses.

HP - sounds like you've had some fun during your trip in florida. Driving around florida in a convertible with the tunes blasting is one of the great pleasures in life. I'm sure you're ready to get back home to your husband, kids, and doggies, though.

J - We should develop and patent self-completing homework - we'd make a fortune.

D - my laptop recommendation is a macbook - followed by toshiba. Had a toshiba that lasted from April 2001 until about a year ago. It was finally too slow even for my wife, but it was still running like a champ. they're just about bullet-proof.

BG - getting a half-pound of fudgie love :cool: I'm sure it tasted good, but oofah, that had to be uncomfortable.

Still no riding the real bike. School and work have both been kicking my ass this week. Hopefully, tomorrow.

B - Thanks for the welcome! How funny...I live just 2-3 miles down Precinct Line from the surgical center! Small world! Where in Texas are you living now? (Yeah...I love that "bycyling" thing! Too cute!)

      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.
