I have a brilliant idea!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys--

Ya know how the docs want us to exercise after our bands? But all I wanna do is sit in front of my puter on lapbandtalk.com? How about putting a generator on an exercise bike attached to the computer so the computer will only work when I'm riding the bike? Hmmmm...maybe I should patent that...any investors out there?:biggrin:

You know that is so funny cause as i read this & type I am on my bike!!! I have not been banded yet still waiting on insurance approval but i am trying to get myself in the habit of some things now. I made it up in my mind that for now on i will not get on my laptop unless i am on my bike. Good thought uh! lol

Funny you should post this yesterday at lunch my friend told me she rides this thing all day called the Stamina InStride Cycle. She sits at a computer all day and just cycles. I was going to try and find one she said she got hers at Walgreens.

I actually walk on my treadmill with my laptop on the tray and chat on lapbandtalk, while walking for 30-45 minutes.

Yep they have em on their website InStride Cycle XL | Stamina | Walgreens

thats the XL version they have a smaller one that is cheaper also

Now all i need is someway to be able to use it and have my keyboard in front of me at the same time. lol

Awesome idea! I just ordered an elliptical with a 7-inch TV screen.... I will only watch TV while working out during the first month so I can get in the habit!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
