Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

I suppose tampon conversations are not okay? Oh wait, we did talk about the Diva Cup.

What's left? Really?!

It's gorgeous outside. My babysitting gig for my pal was canceled so I'm able to ride. But...I have a head ache, ever so slight. Do I go or do I stay...it could get worse. It was worse, I took some tylenol (Who else misses ibuprofin?) and it's better, but it's not FANTASTIC.

Dear me. What a cunundrum.

I stayed away from that link. Figured it wasn't for me.:frown:

And, my I have to tell DW not to discuss those aspects with me. She likes to hint at it to make me squirm.:drool:

I hope you went riding you ass. It is going to hurt either way. At least enjoy yourself. I say that with all the love in my heart.

I got in almost 19 miles in a swift 1:18. 14.3 mph average, which is my new record. Woot.

Now I am back home watching the kids ride their bikes up and down the street. They just crashed into each other, which was hilarious once we realized no one was hurt. I heart my laptop.

The weather is still gorgeous, no sight of rain. I know it is coming but I am glad it has held out this long. Tomorrow I have spin class but a very busy schedule.

Miss Ibuprofen? Huh? I take it at least 2-3 times a week ... are we not supposed to take it now? WTF? I"m 10 months out and am just finding this out? WHat will happen?!?!?!?!

I know, I know, I'm a cop, EMT and seen many a nasty things. I just get uncomfortable with women and bodily functions.:frown: Oh well, what are you gonna do?

Awww... I LOVE to talk about poop, pee, farts, etc. Only vomit and sputum convos make me sick. Lol. Of course I'm a nurse, and I have 7 brothers... so I am kind of used to it all. Lol.

i take tylenol?????

And TX....you mentioned the people in the park looking like they were on pot, etc....that is where the cops came in....LOL

Motrin is not so good for your smaller stomach. They liquid is iffy but you def do not want to be taking any pills.

BG - OK... but WHY? Lol. I know Ibuprofen is hard on your stomach, but it goes through the band,m into the larger part of the stomach, so it doesn't stay in the smaller part... I guess I just don't get it? Tylenol is bad for your liver... Lol.

I assume because of the chance of it getting stuck. Are you taking pills or liquid?

Oh and did I mention the two snakes I almost ran over? I am such a girlie girl when it comes to bugs and critters. I almost peed my pants when i realized those sticks were moving and that they were not sticks.

OMG! SNAKES!! Ewwwwwwww!!

I take the small Ibprofen tablets. They are smaller than my multivitamin.

Oh sweet Lortab...how do I love thee?

Yep I am not so sore anymore but a bit stoned.

You want gross...i had to clean up a used tampoon of my teenage daughters that my dog pulled out the trash.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I about upchucked.

We are doing something called Woodstock. They have 30-50-100 mile routes. We are doing the 50. It's somewhere east of Columbus, so mostly flat. Columbus Outdoor Pursuits-COP, puts on the big mother's day ride, and they have many training rides before. This is one of them.

This time next year C will be riding with us, training for the mother's day ride. Her DH and DD will be riding it this year. Maybe C will SAG for them and I'll get to see her. She's not riding for some reason, surgery or something...having a band put in I think...:thumbup:

I might be down for something in July. Look and see what's out there.

You know it!!!! I'm looking forward to serving my fellow riders this year! Next year...LOOK OUT! LOL

Yeah...I'm gettin' my band. I'm totally over this liquid diet, although, it's weird. The longer I'm on it, the easier it is. Lunch time at the hospital cafeteria isn't hard at all, in fact, I'm grateful not to have to eat what they've got! LOL

Oh my...I'm startin' to get nervous! The good kind of nervous...butterflies. Whoo...I am really excited!

J: Sorry about your aerobars. Bummer.

ZZ: Way to go on your weight loss!! Oh, and Poop and Pee and Puke and Snot and Pus don't bother me either!!!!! We nurses are so gross!

turler.......just think in less than 48 hours you are going to be banded......!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOO

SNAKES...yikes.

C I am so excited for you. You are going to do great!

WYD Yeah that would be gross for me, so I am sure it is double gross for a man.

HP, yikes snakes is right. Probably a good thing Mr. BG was not with me though. He certainly would have unleashed his inner sissy girl.
