So I want to share my latest stuck story. Yesterday I went in and had a small fill, and was on liquid yesterday and mush today. Work took me to a fundraiser today and President. Bush was the main guest. Before the President came into the room to give his speech there were light finger-food and some different fruit stuff. Well I had not eaten all day and was starved and went out on a limb. Man was that a huge mistake. A had two bites of crab cake and chewed and chewed until the bites were liquid and one sip of Water. I didn’t take another bite, because I could feel I was stuck. Well sometimes it passes and other times (not often) it turns into a PB. Well with all theses people around and secret service looking for people acting strange I had a PB. I was able to excuse myself from the main room and thankfully it was early and not too many people had made it in. After about three minutes of steady gagging I was no longer stuck. Tons of very strange looks and a few secret service taking into there coat sleeves but I was not taken into custody. My lesson for today; chew, chew, and chew some more and when you think you have chewed enough chew a few more times.

BP! Sorry to hear about your ordeal today. I'm glad you made it through, relatively unscathed.

On the other hand, that is the first lengthy post that I recall from you and it displays your wonderful sense of humor! I love it! You're a good fit here! LOL Post more often!

BP,

That's a contender for the "Best PB Story EVER" catagorie.

I'm sure it was no fun at the time, but gald you came away from it no worse for wear.

How's the cycling going?

Tempting, very tempting. I'm supposed to be in Boston on the 8th. If I can push that out even a day or two, might be able to make my way up there (drive from TX to MI, then on to MA.) Lemme check on it.

BG: I haven't checked to see how far this ride is from me, but I'm guessing I'll need to stay overnight the night before. So I would be interested in a hotel in the area!! If you know of any good ones nearby. If everyone is gonna gather near your house, that's where I'll go too!

That's quite a lot of driving, but we'd so love to see you!

It is - if I didn't have to be in Boston for work immediately after, I'd be all over it. That much driving + a bike ride = not ready to sit in meetings all day for the next 4.5 days... There is a way to pack the entire bike in a hard-shell golf carrier + 1 largish suitcase for the wheels - I might look into that so I could fly. Give me a couple of days to see if I can't work it out. If not, we'll figure some way for me to get up there or y'all down here this summer.

Believe in YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to all

Thanks HP. I'd totally love to do it. Gosh. I have such little faith in myself. It's been a rough few days.

Weather here sucks arse. Been raining and hailing and such for days. We'll have a good day... but I'm always busy and *can't* ride. I need to get my booty on that bike and make it a priority. I know that once I have a few good successful rides that I'll be even more hooked. RIght now I think I"m just at the point where the idea is better than the doing part. Lol. Thinking about riding doesn't hurt my butt.. or my pride!

OK, next dry, non-freezing day I will get on that bike and make it count... even if it's only a mile.

What is the date of the ride ya'll are thinking about?

I'm a rock star. I just have to say this has nothing to do with cycling or losing weight but with school.

I know, I bitch and moan about having to do it all the time and it's only getting tougher, but I'm getting my stuff done and it feels great.

I've just finished a paper and some other homework a day early so I can attend a coference tomorrow...W00T.

      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.
