I had to sell my bike to help pay for my sleeve but my boyfriend has a bike so I still ride. I can't wait to get another bike, probably next summer because the one I want is way too expensive.

I almost cried when I sold mine but the surgery was worth it. I plan on getting a new Harley Street Glide next summer. We are going to Sturgis this year and I will just have to ride on the back of my boyfriends bike. It won't kill me, I just won't like it though.

WELL ME BEING A GUY, I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION OF RIDING ON BACK, SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY BABY. (LMBO) I DO PLAN ON GETTING ME ANOTHER CRUISER NEXT SUMMER, HOPEFULLY A YAMAHA BAGGER, AND MAKE IT TO STURGIS IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS.

Oh c'mon now Smitty - where's your sense of adventure? Of COURSE you can always ride bit** lol I would never dream of selling my bike, no way in hades. Took me 2 months to save for the surgery but as of last week I got it all paid for plus the airfare. June 27th I fly out of Sky Harbor and the 28th I have my surgery first one in the early AM (first one in before the day group even comes in from San Diego since I am going into Tijuana the nite of the 27th and then fly back to Sky Harbor on the 30th.

As far as the Yamaha goes - I LOVE mine - now that I have the surgery paid for I am going to start with the "bagger" accessories. Custom made tour pack (egg shaped not the huge thing) and then a Quadzilla fairing and of course VH pipes or Cobra. Since one of my clients (and good friends) is a bike repair shiop and he does custom builds I am going to leave it with him for a month to get it all ready for the riding season in the fall. Too hot here to ride now anyway other than in the evening, I am hoping I can tolerate the heat a little better once I lose the weight.

I read on a few other places that people rode within a few weeks - I won't but just cause it's hot and when I do I will wait for the stitches to come out anyway.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
