Aww J I am glad I could inspire you =) Good shoes are definitly key. Just like getting a bike you want to go to the specialty store and get fitted. The prices are very compareable to what your would find elsewhere and they have much more of a selection. Start slow and don't give up. I started running at a slower pace than which I walked. The couch to 5K is awesome and only takes up 30 minutes a day 3 times a week. I have a treadmill you could borrow if you need it lol.

D, I put the thongs under the belly. One day they are going to look amazing on my flat surgery enhanced belly but not today.

I think JC has found a gf.....he certainly isn't spending his time with this group of ladies anymore, sooooo that can only mean one thing....he has grown a beard....and it off to buy a buggy and horses.

I don't have anything serious going on just yet. I do however have a (few) different situations brewing!

As for the 14th date thing, what if I am not the one doing the fondling? :-)

I have decided however that the Amish thing is probably not going to work out based on the shock I was in when I saw that damn sea of grey in my beard! WTF How in the hell did that happen?

D, I heart rock hard calves.

BG, if all goes well a return to my jogging routine after work today.

J, congrats on the decision to start running!

I am going to that rock climbing gym this week to check it out. I may go on Wednesday because that is when the ladies get a discounted rate!

I also need to find a store around here that can get me into some proper running shoes.

Ok.....lng story short...the one place that I found is only open on Monday and fridays over the winter months..guess it is considered winter here with 90 degree temps????

The other place wanted a 1200 deposit, and no bike rack......I would of been 30 some miles from where I needed to get to someplace safe.

I am not giving up...there has got to be somewhere I can go....

there is a gym and pool here at hotel...went swimming last night....man I love that......

anyway..classes are good, miss having someone to hang out with though.....been lost more times than I can count....LOL

OMG! I just discovered this thread...you guys are NUTS! I love it!

I have become an avid cyclist and excercise freak! I never thought I would see the day that I would excercise, much less LOVE it!

I'm going to keep my eye on you guys! Very funny in here!

Stefanie42467,

Well if you're going to hang you need to shorten that right there. We have an S already, but he doen't peep up too much these days.

Welcome though. We are a bunch of nuts and there are many inside jokes, but if you are bored enough to read from the beginning or from about May you'll get the gist of many of them.

Where are you etc. We want to know when you were banded, how filled you are, when did you start cycling, which state do you call home, do you have kids, are you single, JC is sorta apparently still and is in Florida.

Welcome welcome.

      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!!
