Hello my people.

I didn't even think to put anything but my city and town on my ID. BTW, TX, they make medical ID charms you can add to a charm Bracelet. However if you have more than a few issues I don't think they can get all the text on it!

I'm not sure what a new rack costs but I'm probably going to be in the market for some too which is uber ironic because I had a breast reduction 5 years ago. But as I get smaller they are simply disappearing. My breasts are now smaller than my girlfriend's. That has never ever happened before in my life, and I've had a few girlfriends, most of whom would be called chesty. NSV? I'd say so.

ZZ, You are so funny! I bet you keep people in stitches all the time!

BG, The snow, the freaking mother effin' snow! What gives? Apparently is was snowing in Kalamzoo last night. That's just not okay.

Ceradad, Cool ride. I have a Giant and love her. Welcome to the Bycyling thread. You will need to get abreveated to a one or two letter name. We have a C, so give us some choices.

Happy Friday!

Thanks Juli, I really liked the little ride I took on it last night. Real smooth and easy to ride. However, I had to be shown how to shift the gears. I don't know if yours is set up the same way, but the gear shifters are different from what I remember from my old 10 spd from 20 yrs ago.:blush:

For an abbreviation, how about CD?

You are now CD! Fantatic!

The gears are different from the past but I really like them. I have to say, I just really like my bike. I never thought I'd get emotional about a non living thing, but I am.

I've got two rides planned this weekend with my group. I'm hoping we don't get chilled out of them. Should be around 20 miles both days.

Oh, TX I ordered aerobars and they came in, I've just not been able to get to the shop to have them put on. I'm hoping do that this week. (I need silver, not black, so it would match.)

XO

J - Actually my real name is Suzanne.

My whole life ppl have either spelled it Susan (I hate the name Susan now!!) or they will spell it Suzzane, Susanne... Seriously, how hard is it? I HATE when Starbucks or Panera ask me my name so they can put it on my order - they have NEVER once gotten it right. I usually spell it out for people. But lately (past year or so) when I'm at Starbucks or Panera I just tell them to mark me down as Bob. They can spell that right EVERYTIME!!

I feel you. I'm really Julianna. Two "N's". Don't get me started on my last name! Ugh.

So if I met you, you'd be Suzanne? not Suzzie? I don't know that I could adjust at this point in time....:)

Lol. Nah, my friends call me anything from Suzanne to Suz to Suzy Q. My dad calls me Suziannie... he's weird though. You can call me anything but Susan. Bitch and whore work well too. haha!

That's funny! I respond to every variation of Juli/Julianna but Jules. That's my Susan. Jay, Juicy (one smart ass calls me that, but I call her Naners), Jewel, Ju-Ju, I'll accept. But not Jules.

My sister is Suzanna and went by Zsa-Zsa, growing up. We're Hungarian and that's the same as Suzi. My other sister is Ilona, and went by Li-Li. I didn't get the cutesie name. I got Jay. My brother got Bee. I resent that, I'm just saying.

Anyone else notice that my damn ticker ain't moved in forever? I'm about to fire it up!

OK. I'm going on Thursday for a fill.

When is it going to WARM up and STAY warm?

BG- Effin SNOW!! Holy crap! I feel for ya sister!

ZZ- At least you got a name with a nickname in it! Uh, Carol????WTF???? Mean parents. Totally sucks. I wanna nickname. Seriously.

J- Um, cutsie name??? Yes you totally got a cute name. Did I mention my name is Carol?

Girls- New racks don't cost that much these days. You can get a TT for a few thousand, new girls for a couple thousand, new eyes, nose, legs, arms whatever...for quite a bit less than a car! LOL

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
