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...

ALso, I was pretty happy about this picture I had my DD take....

After we got our hair cut!!

Me, enjoying myself, I guess...not sure, but I do look happy!!

We are still dealing with RAIN!!!! It has been...interesting.

D - Lookin' at your pics, I think you only are a 1/2 moon!! Gorgeous, girl!!

Set a new PR yesterday, averaged 15.1 on my ride. Whooeeee, fast for meeeeeee!! (and, no b4 anyone asks...it wasn't all downhill LOL).

Looking good Lady! I have recently been able to squeeze into 16s! 14s will be my next goal. After getting a fill tomorrow (hoping this one will be the last), I am going to check out a bike shop to do some comparison shopping. I haven't been on a bike for years, never even wanted to, but now I am looking forward to when I can get some exercise that way. You are inspiring me!

D,

That's a good lookin' behind you've got there! The new do is cute too. You do look happy indeed.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Awe, thanks for the ass comments!!!!! LOL....Hopefully it will just keep getting smaller and smaller....

School starts tomorrow for DD and I have to drive a 2 hour round trip to the clinic to get an offical weight, sooooooooo I am off to bed......I heart LapBandTalk.....

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone, I had to call the doctors office to ask about my ultrasound.......everything was negative.....

He said I have heartburn. WHAT??? Heartburn???? I don't think heartburn is gonna make me have to push on my stomach that hard to make the pain go away. I don't think heartburn takes your breath away when you breath in.......

Hmmmm....he wants me to take a Prevacid when it happens again. I have taken Prevacid.....this is not going to be a fun journey, I can tell that..

D

That stinks. You know if you think he's wrong get a second opinion. It's your health.

But if he's right, that's a simple solution.

Sorry for the added stress of not having a real answer.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday!
