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!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
