Have I mentioned yet today that I heart my Bodybugg? I have named him Herbie. Short for Herbert Walker Runner Trainer Totally Rocks My World Bugg.

And to think I"ve just been calling mine "Bugg"... how unoriginal of me! But I did name my lapband "Stella" as in 'How Stella got her groove back.'

Happy Monday all!

I'm having a shit ass day.

I walked in to a big ass baby crying because he agreed to work overtime and resents his coworker. She's in the hospital...

Other dumb fucks have committed me to stuff I have little time to do.

And the produce company didn't see my order for pumpkins and cider. "Do you really need it?" No, we're just a school having a freaking Halloween part for 150 kids. Yes, I need it.

Ugh.

Woohhooooo BG, three more pounds!!!! Great job!! Do you think it was the BB????

I thought I was banned from the site, that is why I couldn't get on...LOL...glad I wasn't:bounce: I thought maybe my mouth was a bit too french....

I am also scared of gaining....I also have a hard time with buying clothes....I can't see myself putting something on that is not tent size....

I did ride my bike for an hour yesterday and then walked another hour. It was not the road bike, but the sporty, but still it was great!!! A little chilly, but fun.

Holy crap I freaking did it. I am sitting in my offivce typing this and staring at my bike. I made it the 11.2 miles to work!!! It took me about an hour and 40 minutes but that included a 10 minute Water break. So 1.5 hours for 12 miles not too shabby. Especially since the longest I have ever riden in one stretch is 6 miles.

I think I am going to have DH pick me up though.

HAHAHAHA...had to put this on BG, since you found some of me a while ago. This is from one of the first pages!!!! :clap2:

I think I could have made it home but I was in a hurry because I had a lot of things to do so I had DH pick me up. Honestly I feel great. I am not tired or anything. I even managed to do some running this afternoon (20 minutes straight for the first time ever). I am thinking that for every day I ride my bike to work I am going to put away the same amount of gas money the trip would have cost me and at the end of the summer buy myself something nice. Like maybe a bodybugg. Man I really want one of those things.

And then there were more........

Thanks Juli, the club thing is very cool gives you a larger support group!

Cherrybomb I started riding "again" 4 weeks post-op.

Deanna, you and Juli are starting to make me feel like a lazy slug!

I'm going to have to step it up!

JC

ANYTIME JC says you make him feel like a lazy slug, then that means he hasn't done more than 300 miles that day!!! You are such a rock star JC, you know I love ya!!!

Where are you anyways???

WOOT WOOT

I just did my first group ride on the roads of central Ohio.

We did 23 miles, up hills and down hills (I went 35mph down a big one!)

I kept up with my group and they were so encouraging! Oh my goodness, I'm hooked. Absolutely and without question. I so want to go again and again!

I learned so much too! The rules of the road, how to peddal efficiently, etc.

That's right, I rode that bike!!!

and then there was J, back in the old days of riding......

      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.
