Recommended Posts

Hi guys--

Ya know how the docs want us to exercise after our bands? But all I wanna do is sit in front of my puter on lapbandtalk.com? How about putting a generator on an exercise bike attached to the computer so the computer will only work when I'm riding the bike? Hmmmm...maybe I should patent that...any investors out there?:biggrin:

You know that is so funny cause as i read this & type I am on my bike!!! I have not been banded yet still waiting on insurance approval but i am trying to get myself in the habit of some things now. I made it up in my mind that for now on i will not get on my laptop unless i am on my bike. Good thought uh! lol

Funny you should post this yesterday at lunch my friend told me she rides this thing all day called the Stamina InStride Cycle. She sits at a computer all day and just cycles. I was going to try and find one she said she got hers at Walgreens.

I actually walk on my treadmill with my laptop on the tray and chat on lapbandtalk, while walking for 30-45 minutes.

Yep they have em on their website InStride Cycle XL | Stamina | Walgreens

thats the XL version they have a smaller one that is cheaper also

Now all i need is someway to be able to use it and have my keyboard in front of me at the same time. lol

Awesome idea! I just ordered an elliptical with a 7-inch TV screen.... I will only watch TV while working out during the first month so I can get in the habit!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
