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! :-)

How soon were you able to ride? We have a trip planned, would be three days, about 400-450 miles.

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.

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!

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.

      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.
