My post was an attempt to control what you say??? WOW. BTW, wasn't I exercising "free speech" when I made my post? Or is the only free speech you are concerned about your own? And who the hell is Chris Matthews? Ok, I Googled him, and he has a show on the Liberal version of Fox News, MSNBC. Sorry, never watched it.

When I was trying to decide, I checked a Dr. who advertised a good price on the band in another state, when I couldn't find a local Dr. who would do a fill, I called the out of state Dr. back and they tried to switch me to the sleeve to keep my business. That was when I figured out that some surgeons didn't really care about me or what was best for me, all they cared about was my money. I found a local Dr., had my band and couldn't be happier.

Personally after yesterday morning, I think I will wait until it warms up a bit before I ride. Great job CF

My Surgeon had absolutely no problem with Coffee, or caffeine. I drink coffee throughout the day, and I have been known to toss a couple of crushed caffeine tabs into my protein smoothie if I have a particularly hard bike ride ahead of me. This is based on biking studies that show caffeine has an effect in reducing muscle fatigue during strenuous exercise.

Oh Goodie POLITICS! Sorry Sharpie, if you believe that the ACA is socialized medicine you have been watching too much Fox News (BTW, I am praying that it stays ). Tell you what, let's just stick to the lap band shall we?

Just think how much you will have lost by the time surgery rolls around.

After 2 bites, I decided it just wasn't going to work. I started dinner prep way too hungry, testing this, tasting that, drinking something else. By the time the steak came off of the grill I had already eaten my cup, and Mistress Band told me there wasn't a steak on the planet worth what she would put me through if I ate any more. Sigh...6 months is not enough time to undo 50 years of bad eating habits.

Not unless you have a computer attached to it. If I care about miles, I will estimate 15 miles an hour which is less than I normally average on my bike.

Finally, break in the weather and back to biking to work. The ride in this morning: Distance: 21.98 mi Time: 1:25:42 Avg Speed: 15.4 mph Elevation Gain: 230 ft Calories: 1,092 C Avg Temperature: 52.1 °F Well, after fighting a 10 mile an hour headwind for 5 miles, I decided to bail and ride over to the train station and take the train home. Distance: 6.69 mi Time: 31:06 Avg Speed: 12.9 mph Elevation Gain: 223 ft Calories: 349 C Avg Temperature: 76.9 °F

Guys, MFP doesn't take into account the low calorie intake of WLS patients. Just ignore the warning about shutting down your metabolism and you eat like you are supposed to for the band

Let them know, but it is doubtful there is a problem.

15 - 30 gusts again today, so 55 minutes of spin.

11K here out of pocket, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. My quality of life is vastly improved over 6 months ago.

Just like with adults, a case by case issue. Based on what I see here, there are a lot of adults who aren't mature enough for WLS, and I am sure there are some kids who are.

Welcome to the family

No, not every band gets filled, for some people (not many) the very presence of the band is enough.

Great job!

This may sound silly, but it depends. If I am making bread, I measure before If I am cooking ground beef for storage, I measure after. If I am concerned about portion size, I measure after because most nutritional information is for cooked, rather than raw.

Tried something different tonight, and the family requested that it be put on the regular rotation schedule. Lean ground Turkey Taco Seasoning diced green chili Low Fat cheese Greek Yogurt Bean chips. layer the chips with the seasoned ground turkey, top with diced chilies, low fat cheese and pop in the microwave until the cheese is melted, top with a dollop of yogurt and some sliced olives.

Headwinds suck! With last weeks weather, you would think that I live in Wyoming, ut at least I was able to get back on the bike today. 1:24 Time, 23.05 Miles, 16.4 Speed, 1212 Calories

Spin class, 60 minutes, 535 calories. No biking in sight this week, hopefully better luck next wek.

Great work CF!
