Any bike riders out there?



Recommended Posts

11 weeks out from my sleeve surgery and I just biked 6.04 miles today in 53 minutes. I am hooked on biking and so looking forward to doing the Loop the Lake for Literacy Bike challenge in Feb 2017. It is 14 miles and I know I will be able to do it.

I love my trek, I totally took the old seat off and exchanged it for a little bit bigger seat! I bought an Xcalibar 8, my highest weight was 270.

Good Luck[emoji468]????[emoji467]????[emoji468]????[emoji467]????

A little spendy but maybe worth it? There are PTs who have extra certification in cycling. You bring your bike to them and they measure and adjust to custom fit you to your bike. In that assessment, they are also evaluating your muscle imbalances, etc. My understanding is cost around 150-200 dollars.

I already loved biking before my surgery, but now I love it even more!

Today, I biked around 40kilometers (approx 25miles), it's not much but I try to bike around 25 to 30 km three times a week, and it feels pretty cool.

I am living in the countryside, so I get nicely paved roads and also dirt roads normally used for tractors and such stuff.

Biking feels really nice, and mixing it with swimming once a week has sure helped me a lot with my weightloss and my not so abundant skin excess.

Cheers everyone.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
