I live in Chicago so I don't have to say anything about the weather. I have been thinking about what kind of exercise I would do during this cold months. I am going to get another Wii because my first one was stolen. I was thinking I need something else so I finally decided to get a bike. I did physical therapy this summer for my knees and an exercise bike was part of my routine and I did pretty good with it. So I thought it will be better for me than a treadmill. So it will be on by January 14 and hopefully surgery will be not too far behind. I will keep everyone posted on what happens.

I lost almost all of my weight with a stationary bike. I sold me when I moved states and I still miss it. I eventually graduated to a real bike and even today, I love cycling! It's tough at first but keep at it, I promise you, you will get stronger, and soon you'll love how it feels!

I used the walk away the pounds cd. I have the one, two and five mile one. I got as far as the two mile and it did work. You might want to try some dvd's they have some good exercise for indoors that you will do well with.

Congratulations on ordering that bike. I found it a great way to get the cardio in and just moving... Because it is not weight baring, it's easier on the joints!

That's another reason I did it.

Congratulations. I wish I used my bike more. A few more miles would help.

Once I get mine let's do a club to encourage others with bikes to ride more.

Yippee MzEboni! What a great decision. We have a recumbent bike in the basement that is part of my workout routine. Now, there is another bike in our house. Upstairs. A regular bike but on a stand so it can be ridden indoors. I think I'm going to move that down to the TV area now that Christmas is over and there's more elbow room -- I need to get more mini-workouts in and heaven knows if I spent ten minutes on that every time we sat down to Netflix I'd have a lot more calorie burning going on. Thanks for the inspiration! And I have a friend in Chicago -- totally get it about the nasty weather. Here, too. A lot of frozen yuck this morning. We need these inside options for our climates. Best wishes to you Eboni!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
