Can I ask what brand?

Although the rate this is going' date=' I'll be bald from Hair loss pretty soon and won't have to worry about it anyway. Sigh.[/quote']

Biolage is the one Im using now. It's the Step 3 impurity remover. I also will use one called Bumble and Bumble, and also liked Paul Mitchell's Step 3 Impurity remover. I find my hair is more responsive to shampoos if I switch them up, so I pretty much rotate between the 3.

I'm going to go with 150 miles on the bike, AND logging in frequently enough to actually participate in the thread.

I think I would like to start running this month as well, if I can get the courage up to actually get outside and do it. Kinda silly, I guess, to be scared of running but I am!

Check into the C25K app if you want to start running. It's a great program for a beginner.

I actually just finished downloading that app! It looks totally doable to me, I might actually give this a shot. :)

I got in 3.2 miles of bike riding today. I thought good for 9 days post-op. I really wanted to get in one more ride. My ride today will probably be my last ride of 2013. After surgery tomorrow I am restricted from riding for 6 weeks, and unsure how the weather will be after 12/16 release date. Any rides after that date will be restricted to weekends and holidays since it is dark by the time I get home from work.

I start my walking program later this week. Depends on how I feel after tomorrow's surgery.

Hi I'm in but only for the next 17 days... My surgery is on November 21!!! I plan on getting my miles in by heading to the gym and walking on the treadmill for 30-45 min a day. And then look out cause I can't wait until I get cleared to head back to the gym after my surgery! Good luck everyone on the November challenge!

Today was another spend day with kids day. Went to church, played littlest pet shops and made bracelets. Only 2 miles total of 10.21. Getting a bit anxious about surgery on Tuesday spending time with my girls feels right!

Gamegirl,

Haven't you heard of the surgery of the month club? Lol. I had this one originally scheduled in September and it had to be cancelled. I had to get my sleeve surgery and another doctor's visit taken care of before this one could happen. Last week my social calendar revolved around seeing doctors. After tomorrow, I don't have a scheduled doctor appointment until November 19th.

Thanks,

Rita

5.5 miles today for a total of 12.5 miles. That was done on the exercise bike. I didn't make it out for my walk today. I was having tummy issues and took a nap after work. But that bike is sitting right here calling to me to get up off my back side! The bike won! Ha! Sent from my iPhone using VST

      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!!
