Netflix rocks.

I really enjoyed those first posts that you shared today. It gives me hope. I am where BG was where my butt hurts and it's all I can do to do the 1.5!!

Now many of you mentioned getting new Schwinn's at Walmart. Are you still riding those? I'm assuming you've upgraded by now. That's what I got to start myself.

I got me a mountain bike to switch the the workouts up some. The mountain biking is harder. It is amazing how much a little rock can slow you down. I rode a 10.1 mile loop on my road bike the other evening in 50 minutes. I still have a long weigh to go. Good to see where some of you guys started at.

I live in a small town in East Tennessee that is about half way between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Around here it seems like you are constantly climbing a hill. I know that you have to go down hill at sometime, but the climbs last a lot longer than the descents. The heat and humidity have been rough but I have managed to get a couple times this week. I am on midnight shift the rest of the week so I'll have to ride when I get off in the mornings. Hopefully one day I will inspire someone the same as you guys have inspired me.

LT (hope you don't mind I call you that but we like to shorten things up around here). I believe all of us regulars have road bikes from the LBS (local bike store). I started out on a mountain bike and once I got my road bike it was a dream come true. What you will have now will certainly suffice. My recomendation is to just keep riding it and if you find that you truely lonve to ride, then go drop some more serious cash on a road bike. Low end bikes start at around $600.

Oh and the butt does get better.

Don't you know that we on the eastern part of the midwest or the western part of the east coast think there is NOTHING between Illinois and the Pacific Ocean? It's like you have Chicago then Seattle. Nothing in between.

      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.
