Friday, August 24th

2nd day of couch to 5k program. One more of these days and then on to week two. Rode bike to track about a mile and a half ride. Strength trained arms on bowflex.

Saturaday Aug 25th, 36 Laps in the pool, 45 mins.

Not as good as usual but my wife came this morning and she had to be somewhere today.

Better than not going though.

Way to go all of you. Everyone seems to be doing great. Here is my questiion. I was banded on Aug.20th 2007. I am doing ok, I have lost 27.5# since the end of May and including my preop diet. I just went and purchased a 26" Ladies Mountain Bike. When will it be ok to start to ride it. I walk around the house and stuff now, and went out with my BF and shopped today. Just wondering how long before I can ride a bike? Any and all input would be great.

I would say wait at least 1 week for banding. When i went to my 1 week checkup doc said as long as i feel ok then go ahead and exercise. Every doc is different.

No stomach exercises for a while though.

And i am waiting a few weeks before i lift some weights again.

Bottom line......ask your Doctor.

Thank you who's I will see what she says when I see her on Tuesday.

Nulife, def. ask your doctor and come join us on the bicycle thread! We have a blast over there.
