Thank you for your kind words. They mean very much to me.

As for you struggling with your lapband, there is a light at the end. You'll be getting fill and moving forward with your weight loss. You've had a great year. You know, new toys, new relationship...sorry the band hasn't been perfect, you are in my thoughts...

Keep talkin' to us!!!

I am in Florida, born and raised here, which makes me a rare individual and a cracker. I do feel right at home in Texas though, I started to move to the San Antoino area about three years ago.

Yes HP, as soon as summer starts kicking in and things slow down I will be doing rides all over the place.

I rode 14.6 miles yesterday and I FELL!!!!!!

We were at a stop and I had one foot on the ground, but then I lost my balance...I said, "Falling!" I landed on my hand and bruised it badly, but my bike land on me...I was still attached with my left foot, so I didn't scratch the bike, so there's a bonus.

But that was half way through the ride. We ended with a couple a big hills.

WOO HOO!!!! I rode my bike!

We all moved to clipless pedal systems. And the rule of thumb is you fall once or twice with them...

I got my fall in, now I'm done, no more falling.

B, I turned my new phone into a Bluetooth gateway to the internet, then connected a MacBook and a Clone Laptop. That Mac smoked the clone on the dslreports speed tests. It wasn't even close. I know I am not telling you anything you don't know, but you should have seen the rest of the I.T. group's reaction! Just thought I would share.

J, I have clipless pedals and have not fallen yet....... I think it may have something to do with the third wheel and not my great sense of balance though.

Third wheel???

Ew, yeah...don't say that, J! I haven't fallen yet, and don't want to! I'm skeered! Y'all make it sound funny and not-so-bad, but I know you all are troopers, too. I'm skeered!

Hey gang - sorry I haven't been posting too much the last few weeks - very very pissed about my band & inability to get care/help at an (any) ER, and I'm not wanting to share the bad mojo.

The Chi-town gig is still in process; however, they kind of choked during salary discussion. Not sure if it will play out.

Buttercup is very lonely - I've been in town one day a week for the past 4-5 weeks, so it's not getting any love, and my legs are telling me about how much they miss the riding.

HP - very sweet bike & also glad to hear that hubby got a new one as well.

J - Congrats on your ride, and your fall. Hopefully, you had a suitable large audience to appease the clipless gods, and you should be good to go :o

JC - Of course, Macs rule!!! Glad to see you back. Cool new toys!

B

      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.
