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.

Read what your saying is at the bottom of your posting.......I actually copied it and printed it and put it up at work (to keep me from drinking pop)

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TOO. I thought I would die last year with BG and J and JC on our ride.......We dont have to do the longest ride there.......and we could pair up.....I ride allot with my 14 year old....so I am game for whatever....

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.

        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
