J, I forgot to tell you that you really DO look like the news anchor woman. You stated that awhile back with your hairdo...and yes I agree.

Oh, Windex, good idea.

I actually had a womans saddle on my mans bike and loved it. It was hard. This one seems really soft and cushy to me, I will see what happens over the next couple of rides and decid change it out to something else.

I did find that if the saddle is not level it does rub in all the wrong places.....NOT A GOOD THING!!! We are going camping on Wednesday and wont be back until Sunday. I know you will miss me. It is a sad thing, but I will return. With pictures of all my fish I catch. I am going to miss my creamsicle....A LOT!!

Get wifey to do it with you!!!

Thanks for the congrats. I still hate it though. I am really trying but I do not know why anyone would think that feeling like your chest is going to explode is a good thing. And this is at maybe 4mph lol. I can bike at 15+mph for 50 miles but I can't even run 1 mile in 10 minutes. It is really kind of sad.

Traci,

You look really pretty in your avatar. What amazing cheekbones!

Stacy,

A 10 minute mile is pretty quick. Don't be so hard on yourself.

thanks everyone!!!!!D...I know what you mean about taking the daughter along. She rode with us last week and was barely moving at 10....my friends kicked her up a notch and got her excited and she is pushing a little harder now. She has a big issue with pedaling and than stopping....and than stopping to get off her bike all together.....But...we are hoping she is getting more confident, and I dont care to have rides like that because I know she is out there riding and that is all that matters...she is a kid...(i have to remember that sometimes)

But thanks about the picture.....I am totally amazed lately...and it is definatly a good motivation to keep working so hard.

We are riding tonight..just john and I, and than hoping we dont get allot of rain so we can get some in on our days off....

B....YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!

All of you running....amazes me!!!!!

      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.
