Rode my bike today for the first time in 4wks. It was really nice. I was flying high out there b/c my favorite black jean jacket that is all bejeweled fit today. I have about 10 brand new Harley shirts hub keeps getting me for Christmas and they never fit, no receipt. There about one size to fitting comfortable. They fit now, but I hate bulges.

So I was one happy Harley riding momma today!

I ride a Sporster too. I was banded 0ct15 Dr didn't tell me when I could ride again, but I felt the time was right.

I am a backrest :) My other half rides an antique FLH. I have toyed with the idea of getting my own for years, but we have such a short season here the bean counter in me can't justify the expense of having two bikes...(sitting in the garage for 8 months out of 12)! It will be interesting this summer, I have been uncomfortable on the back in the last ten years or so --- too fat to fit and too out of shape to sit :) Maybe I can lose the mom jeans at the poker rallies too!

I can't wait to be more comfortable on the back either! I don't ride my own, mainly the reason you don't... We live in MA so riding season is short and I don't see the need lol

@Maddysgram, I was banded Oct 18, we're almost on the same track! My husband and I had never ridden until I started this weight loss journey. Most of my calories (and time) were spent drinking beer and eating pizza! I was pretty much a sloth. So, my husband thought of a hobby that we both could do that didn't include drinking. We took Bike Class this past summer, and bought 2 cheap Sportsters to learn how to ride on. It has worked! Can't drink while riding, and we rode a lot! Got me ready for my surgery :) Just able to get back on it yesterday-boy, I felt skinny! haha

That's great! As long as hub & I have been married(40) there has always been some kind of bike in the family. First were dirt bikes,then small street bikes and after girls were married we both got Harley's. I did change the seat out on my bike for my bigger butt.

It's nice when you live in a warm climate you can ride anytime. Reading the other post made me realize how good I had it.

I'm glad you & hub found a hobby you could both enjoy.

Live to ride, ride to live!

I upgraded my seat too, have a "sundowner" seat, nice and big. :) My present to myself is to buy a Fatboy Lo when I reach goal weight. maybe I won't need to "upgrade" the seat! You've lost a lot! Any secrets? Have you had a fill yet?

Yeah, we live in AZ so pretty much can ride all year long.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
