AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaahahahaha, so she did get the first post.....well, congratulations!!!!! LOL...

I do prefer riding in the morning but of course that is not possible, but I am still very very sore today. I never imagined I would be saying I was riding 50 miles a year ago, you are right about that!!!

I was writing a paper analyzing the hospital sector for the last 5 years and the impact of government, the economy, and managed care on the figures...it was about 3/4 of the way done when some dumbass maintenance man flipped a breaker that shut down the lights in an ajoining room but it turned off my computer and it wasn't automatically saved which is another rant to the IT department...but sweet Mother Mary...I cried!!!!

It's all better now, but really ugh. I better make 100K with this freaking MBA. That's all I'm saying.

Here is something else cool!

MY 8 yr old daughter wants to do one of my Triathlons! There is a kids sections. She is already fine swiming 4 laps and the bikeing is fine (she biked 7 miles with me last week!) So last night i helped her with running. We ran just around our block and she loved it. Didnt complain. She has to run 1k for the kids triathlon. Is that awesome or what! I actually inspired her.

She has seen me run in a 5k race and was just SOO PROUD.

Whos, that is completely AMAZING!!! Just think, if you hadn't gone through this journey and started exercising THAT would have impacted your daughters life in the oppisite direction. You are teaching her GOOD habits and that is an awesome thing! Congrats!!

D - the scenery in the photos is beautiful. YOU are even more so! Cool pink jersey. Were you calling Lance A in the first photo? :wink2:

Cleared to hop on the bike - YAY!!! Rainy, rainy day - BOO!! :crying: I know, I know I'm being selfish, the plants need the rain, yada, yada, yada....I wanna ride. Tomorrow is another day! :thumbup:

No fill today, still too much bruising from surgery. Question for all you experienced LB riders...I usually ride with a camel back (if I am doing distance). Any problems with air when drinking Water via the camelback tubing/mouthpiece? :confused2:

Have a great weekend! KY

i cant drink through a straw at all...because of the air ....and even last year I had trouble with my bottles when it was so hot and i was drinking too fast....just be careful how fast you drink.

You may not have any trouble with your pack though..just trials and error....!

I am so happy you were cleared to start riding....

Are you doing the Bridge to Bridge ride or the one in Starrlight in September??? Just asking...we are thinking of doing one of those....

I did not ride either but saturday is just around the corner....yipppyyyyyyyyyy

D...my husband says your husband looks like a professor!

      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.
