    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.

    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! :-)

    Thank you so much. Riding is a passion of mine. Be safe on those roads. Good luck with your journey!!!
    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.

    I'm now on soft/ puréed foods. I've been feeling great. Down 25.5 lbs. This morning I was throwing some Breakfast together and getting the hubs ready to leave on the truck. Took several bites of scrambled egg pretty quick and gulped two big gulps of Water. Oops. I was hurrying around and just wasn't thinking. That was almost an hour ago and I'm still sick. Not a good feeling. First time I've done that, and will be the last. (I hope)

    Just a word of advice to those that are not yet on soft foods, listen to what they tell you!!

    I am lucky. I have a very good support group. My husband and my mom are my biggest fans. Along with my nieces and brother and sister-n-law. All supportive. I only told a few close friends. Honestly the think people look at it as an "easy out". It's anything but that. I didn't do this out of vanity or for attention. I had major surgery to improve my health. Things were spiraling out of control. I'm sorry you didn't have a support group but focus on the fact that you are going to be better. That will be all that matters.
