This is my first posting. I used to ride bikes years ago. A couple of weeks after surgery I started riding my bike around my complex. After that I would get up early in the morning and ride a mile or so down the road and back. As I began to loose more weight I began to ride further. I started riding one or two days a week. Now I ride 4 to 6 days a week. I do a 15 mile loop every morning before I go to work. Many times when I get home from work if I'm stressed out I go for another ride. I am probably averaging 100 miles per week. I am 8 1/2 months post surgery and have lost 81 lbs.

Bicycle riding and exercise has become as soothing as a snickers bar used be. It has become more fun riding around the Northern Los Angeles area.

BG, When your (THICK) skinned and kinked out, teeth are kind of like a brush of Sunshine and Happiness!

I currently have a Diamond back mountain bike with front suspension, and a Specialized road bike, that's the ones without the motors. I also have motorcycles and scooters. I enjoy getting around

Welcome TJ, nice bikes. You are so close to goal...way to go....

JC, thanks for nothing. Just kidding. I just thought someone would know something to tell her. She thinks because I took a computer class back in 93 that I am this computer person. I am not. Oh well, thanks for the feed back. I have no idea why she wants to get on for the father in law, he is not going to use it, but she is strange sometimes.

Hi TJ welcome.

I'm busy going to as busy (as my brother says) a one eyed cat watching two mouse holes until Saturday.

Catch up with all then.

Hey Gang - Sorry it's been more than a week since i've posted, though it's not for a lack of trying. Been having some issues with the Internet here at casa swain... (fugly slut internet...)

TX - welcome - glad to see another "bycyler" from the Great State of Texas. I grew up in Hurst about 2-3 miles up Precinct from the surical center that Dr. Marsden uses.

HP - sounds like you've had some fun during your trip in florida. Driving around florida in a convertible with the tunes blasting is one of the great pleasures in life. I'm sure you're ready to get back home to your husband, kids, and doggies, though.

J - We should develop and patent self-completing homework - we'd make a fortune.

D - my laptop recommendation is a macbook - followed by toshiba. Had a toshiba that lasted from April 2001 until about a year ago. It was finally too slow even for my wife, but it was still running like a champ. they're just about bullet-proof.

BG - getting a half-pound of fudgie love :cool: I'm sure it tasted good, but oofah, that had to be uncomfortable.

Still no riding the real bike. School and work have both been kicking my ass this week. Hopefully, tomorrow.

B - Thanks for the welcome! How funny...I live just 2-3 miles down Precinct Line from the surgical center! Small world! Where in Texas are you living now? (Yeah...I love that "bycyling" thing! Too cute!)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
