ramona5555 36 Posted July 13, 2016 I'm just starting this journey, saw your bike pics and it caught my eye. I ride a street glide, my fat little legs make it hard to flat foot it...you look awesome and I'm very encouraged at your before and after pics. Congrats! I go for my initial appointment on the 21st. Sure hope I qualify with my insurance co. Ride free sister! :-) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App It was a couple of months before I rode anywhere very far. About 5 weeks out just riding close by. Just don't strain yourself pulling your bike up or getting in a bind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunflower* 1 Posted July 27, 2016 Hi Junebug1971 and CONGRATULATIONS on your huge success! You look AWESOME! I am considering the surgery, so I have been reading a lot of posts here and you are one of the many people on this app, who said, that the surgery was the best decision you have ever made. I understand the weight loss as the result at the end, but what else has changed after the surgery, that you think is a good thing ( i.e. less appetite, change of the food preference or easier than before loozing the weight) ? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junebug1971 41 Posted August 17, 2016 Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I think it is all a mindset from the beginning. You have to know what you can and cannot do. You have to be willing to get up and move. You have to go thru the phase of watching others eat what you cannot have. But eventually it all smooths out. The amount of food I can or even want to eat is a good thing. I'm in the habit of knowing what works and what doesn't. I'm so happy with my decision. I believe you will be too, you just have to have your head right.
