I just bought a bike yesterday! A MASI, it’s a racing bike, I haven’t been in the saddle since 90, but have dropped enough weight to make the idea of a road bike appealing. I also didn’t want to buy two bikes.

Hi all, I am home from the hospital and feeling much better. I walked 45 minutes this afternoon. No speed records were set but I was able to get a couple miles in before calling it quits.

Thank God this is my last day on Clear Liquids. Tomorrow I start full liquids for the next two weeks, maybe I will get a chance to move the ticker soon.

Thank you for all the well wishes. I am going to try to get comfortable and watch the Football game. Beer is a clear liquid right? (Kidding)

Hoosierpoms, I am from Hammond, a little town just outside of New Orleans. I was banded at the Surgical Specialists of Louisiana, Dr. Thomas. As for the bike, I have pictures but have had no luck uploading them.

YOu can drink beer?!?! I thought we shouldn't drink carbonation? Lol. I gave up diet coke and everything!

I can't shotgun it or bong it but I can drink it slowly. I had a lot of bombs and cherry vodka with sptire or cranberry juice. I am not exactly sure when I be fully recovered but I had an amazing time.

I cannot believe the huge difference 85 pounds makes. My friends and I were the hit of the bar (yeah we ARE kind of a big deal) and I actually felt like I fit in this year. I danced, got hit on, got drinks bought for me. I fucking loved it, I am not gonna lie. Dan was a happy man when I got home and worked out all my sexual frustrations of not getting any all weekend lol. But seriously I really felt so good. I still feel like I am so big but obviously I am not as bad as I think if I am getting the attention.

And welcome Buffett. Nice wheels.

Hi Kids,

I'm back from Vegas. Viva and all that good stuff. It was a great time and considering I'm sick with a head cold, yet the fuck again, we had a blast.

The bike ride didn't go as well for me as it did Alison. It was 5 miles up, up and up some more. I made it to the top, I walked quite a bit but it was beautiful!!! However the next mile was down, down, down. And now comes the excuses... I was on some bike that fit my legs, my back and arms, but the handle bars were GIANT and the grip for the breaks was a stretch, I could only barely grasp them with my first two fingers. After the first mile of down hill, my hands were numb. And the dude who drove us out there was talking shit about the first hill being cool an easy 30mph, but the second hill he liked to hit 50mph....

So, there I was not feeling well, not realizing the breaks were a struggle and truley just ever so slightly terrified of that 2nd drop after having done the first one...so I chickened out and called the company to come and get me.

I sat on a rock in a beautiful spot for 2 hours Saturday morning while Alison went on to have a great ride. Apparently after the second drop it was pretty level. I'm sad and don't even want to confess I was a candy ass, but I have to be honest with you all.

But the rest of it was great. Paula who I met here on LBT should have picture posted someplace. I haven't looked because I came here first...But she was fantastic and very fun. If you go to Vegas and you want a local to give you the ins and outs she was amazing and fun. You should look her up.

Okay on to read more.

JC, Dude, I'm glad you're on the mend.

Glad you had a good time and made it back safely J! Don't worry about candy-assing your way out of the ride - You made the hills UP which had to be the hardest part, thats where I probably would have quit a long time ago! You'll make it the whole way next time!!

      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.
