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.

I currently have a Diamond back mountain bike with front suspension, and a Specialized road bike, that's the ones without the motors. I also have motorcycles and scooters. I enjoy getting around

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!)

      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.
