So would you al recommend getting a new SEAT, or just a gel seat cover? Cause if I'm gonna get a new seat I'll need to get it before Sat and have my dad put that on for me too. Haha

I know a lot of folks like the gel covers...but I'm not one of them. I had a cover and despised it...didn't stay in place very well. I would get a new seat. And I agree that the smaller the seat, the more comfortable. Weird, I know. Mine is very similar to J's.

New seat much better than cover. Also, C is right - smaller = better. At the end of the day, you should have two small pressure points - each the size of a silver dollar. Easier on you than a bigger, fluffier seat that will make one big pressure point. Seems bass-ackwards, but, two smaller is better than one bigger...

Anatomical seats like J's are very nice. Seats can be hard to buy - everybody is built a little differently down there. What works for one person may not quite work right for someone else, and seats that look similar may feel very different.

Probably not what you want to hear, but many people end up with a collection of seats & pedals before they find what really works for them.

Well I hate that you guys are getting hit with the crap that was supposed to hit us, but I am sure glad it is not going to drop another 10 inches on us this weekend. I need this snow to melt. It is supposed to be cold but getting warmer by next weekend. Maybe, just maybe I will get to ride Big Sexy in a week.

This is a snow on a table on my deck. It looks hazy because the snow is continuing to fall.

Yeah Happy March Blizzard!

J - You look awesome! Happy bandiversary! That's quite the snow. Hopefully, it will be the last big snow of the year, so you can get down to the important business of biking...

      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.
