I drive a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard S50. It is a crusier...803 cc. It is a smooth riding bike. Only downfall is it does not have a stereo....I like to ride to music. So I use my IPOD with head phones......nice bike. I can see myelf going bigger in a few years, but for now it is great

I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan 500, I'm a newbie still, but I love my little bike. My DH has a '01 HD Dyna. But where others see the name, we just see the bikes. And it doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you ride and ride safe.

I consider myself a newbie too even tho I have had my license for 20+ years. I did not have a bike for about 15 years until I bought my new one last year. One month after I had it, a bicycle pulled out in front of me and I had to lay it down........I did not get hurt to badly but had lots of damage on the bike! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to getting the bike out...it is a balmy 33 today here in Wisconsin!! lol

Dianne, we had a little group here in Fairfield but we sort of "

broke up". Now it is just me. In that picture I was riding with Run For The Wall back in 2005. I'm standing in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.

I actually ride with my husband who has a Honda CBR 1000 (sports bike). Which is fast & has great balance on the road.

It's been 15 months since I've had my lap band surgery & I'm loving my results. I have a very confident & beautiful person, always keeping my appearance up but my husband has noticed that I'm doing things that are out of my character. I've become lazy around the house, sometimes just spaced out & not knowing it, going out partying all the time, meeting new people (men) which has become a problem. My husband shows me alot of attention & makes me feel very beautiful inside & out. But I feel that since my surgery it has done something to me mentally & I'm not understanding why I'm acting like this. Has anyone experienced any symptoms like this. :confused2:

I started out riding behind my husband. But it did not take to long before I wanted my own. I love to ride. We have gone to a number of places and made some wonderful friends.

:smile2:Hello all, newbie here. I can't believe there is a forum for lab band bikers! How cool! I was banded 06/07, have lost 63# with about 25# to go. Anyway, back to the question. I drive a 2006 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe. We (my dh and I ) also have a 2007 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. I have had 5 bikes in 7 years. A girl can change her mind can't she????? LOL

I lost 20 lbs prior to surgery, But I have only lost 2 lbs since surgery. Very disapointed. I go for my second fill today. Sure hope it helps. I know what you mean about changing your mind. I am on my 3rd bike. I bought my Screaming Eagle Road king last year. It's blue. Love it. This one I'm keeping.

Diane, it will come, sure as a spring rain in Texas. Joy, my DW, just had her 6th or 7th fill. She's about as tight as a gnat's ass stretched over a rain barrel. The only thing getting thru there right now is liquid. After a fill or two you'll start to see the weight dropping off. In the mean time (after the fragging rain clears out) lets hear some screaming ! ! ! Lets ride ! ! !

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
