There will be no copulating bananas on the shirt. I need to draw the line.

Somewhere I saw someone say teal as the tshirt color, so I was playing with teal print.

I have one with a bike on it...I wish I could share the ideas...

I leave soon for the road trip to TOLEDO. You have no idea how giddy I am.

Hey banded biker babes (and JC, the babe magnet).

Sorry again for being scarce the last week. The weather here in texas has been incredible - mid 80's for the highs (we don't get that here 'til october), so i've been spending the last week before school out walking in the park and enjoying life. And yep, occasionally, hittin' it :).

I have been keeping up on the reading, though. I'm sooo excited for J, HP, BG, and JC to get to ride together, and more than a little bit jealous, too. I think I have the world's most conservative surgeon - still 2 weeks out from being able to get on a real bike. I'm so goddamned bored riding the trainer. I am riding a pretty high intensity, though, so I imagine that I'll be able to ride pretty strong once i get out on the road again.

All this talk about running makes my joints hurt just to think about. Maybe someday, though. Cross-training is great for fitness (and besides, in those times where you have to walk the bike up the hill, it's a little list damaging to the pride if you can run it up the hill) :confused:...

Today is my one-month bandiversary - 24 pounds lost. Not too shabby, even if I do say so myself. Only 2 more days until I can start eating real food. I will be happy to never see another can of Soup as long as i live...

J - Hope you and Allison have a great weekend together. I feel for you and the long interval after next weekend. If ya don't mind, I would like a "banded biker babe" file. I'll wear a shirt in honor of y'all next weekend.

Be careful out there everybody!

THERE HE IS!! And just for the record you all, I TOLD YOU HE WAS HITTIN' IT!!! Hittin' is soooooo freakin much better when you are smaller, huh??????? 24 pounds in a month!!! Way to go!!!!!!!

What is the reasoning behind no outdoor activity with the bike? I am not understanding why you can ride in inside but not outside???? Maybe I am dense and the reason is obvious??? I am thinking because of getting in an accident??? I DON'T KNOW!!! TELL ME!!!!

HP, you are awesome. I got your pm. Thank you!!!

Shit I took a nap. Now I feel like a piece of poop.

Nope I totally do no own an Iron. If I did I very well may have chucked it at my sons head earlier. I use that wrinkle releaser stuff and put stuff back in the dryer to dewrinkle.

I am eating some soy crisps and hoummos right now. I don't like hoummos very much but it is going down pretty well.

J I trust you if you want to make the transfers. I can have my mom iron it on for me.

D -

I agree, it's better now that I'm smaller :)...

The reasoning for no real bike riding is that the abdominal muscles are involved in balance and keeping upright - not too big of a problem, but if I fall or something, the abdominal muscles could be herniated in the violent manuever (there's actually a name for the voilent use of abs to prevent a fall - I just can't remember what it is). Also, bike weighs more than 15 pounds - can't lift it onto the car carrier...

I get pissed about it, but it's only a few more weeks - would rather take it easy for a few more weeks than to take a chance on fucking something up & being off-bike for months while I heal.

I'm on mushies, but don't like any of the starches that are available, so I've been mostly eating chopped chicken noodle-type Soups. Had two scrambled eggs tonight. Best damn eggs I've ever had...

My wife owns an Iron, and amazingly, in 4 years of marriage, she hasn't chucked it at me yet!

HP - I would give anything for lows in the 40s. Makes me miss Boston this time of year, we had similar temperatures. I get to spend the next two summers and Spring 2010 there, but I miss it now...

      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.
