Bike Ride and Phone Calls

It has been a while since we have talked. I had to put my profile on hide because of one of the nuts on this board.  I kept getting messages on my blog and he was sending me private messages and at first I didn't know that I could block him, so I just put everything off but he kept sending me freaky messages so I finally found out that I could block him and crazy is gone. LOL.  The things he thought he could do to make me a woman. LOL. 

I'm happy you are closer to having surgery.  I was like you, if there was a problem, it hit me.  It took them over a year to get me well enough to have surgery.  I had pneumonia so many times they considered me a poor risk and then I was always to anemic and then I had a fungus in my lung and then one thing after another and finally they said okay, you are as healthy as we can get you and without much talk, they scheduled me, I told Jan from Missouri, and then I had the surgery and lived another day. LOL.  YOu will have it done.  Just don't give up.  It's a wonderful thing to have done to get us fixed.  Don't be a stranger.  I, for one, have missed you.

he was going to make you a woman huh???   *rolls eyes*   and he is such an expert he has to chase unwilling women online... Can we say delusions of grandeur???   such a shame some asshole has to try and ruin your fun being online!

so how is your weight loss going?  how much have you lost?  i bet you are really thin now.

i have never ridden a bike comfortably i have part of the road i lived on during my childhood in my knees.  never could maintain my balance on two wheels.  and banana seats were all the rage when i was a teenager.  talk about a painful butt and other  tender parts.  only rode that bike once.  then my brother got one with hand  brakes.  rode that one once too when i was heading downhill and had a turn to make.  all i ended up doing was peddling backwards, and didn't slow down at all.  i flew over the handle bars when i hit the curb.  needless to say that was the last time i was on  bike!!

It's really funny how some men think that because you spurn them that it's you and not them. You are the one that needs a tune up. LOL 

I developed an ulcer so I have actually had problems with my weight leveling off.  That's why I am not approved for plastics yet.  I have dropped below what my pcp identifies as a safe zone for a woman my age and my heigth.  I've lost from the day of surgery over two hundred pounds.  Since I began, though, I've lost over 400 pounds.  So, they want me to gain back up to 130 or at least not lose anymore weight.  At my last weigh in, I lost a few ounces. I am trying to stay on a 2000 calorie diet so that I can gain up but I'll be honest, I cannot let myself gain.  Plus, the ulcer freaking kills me when I eat the foods they want me to eat. 

I love bike riding.  I would love a banna seat bike.  My bike has a tractor like seat with extra padding. LOL. 

i have made a lifetime career of losing weight so  i really think it would be terrorizing to try to gain after risking my life to take the giant step of WLS.  sorry to hear about the ulcer but i am pretty sure i know what you are gong through.  i have such pain after taking my potassium pills with each meal.  i take 8 10meq pills 4 times a day or end up in the hospital in critical condition with IV potassium.  any more i am not sure which is more painful.  there is one good result though, my insulin needs are dropping more all the time.  i rarely have to take more than 4 units of novolog and have dropped from 70 to 60 of the lantus.  my daughter is beginning to think i am purposely taking more than i need so i can have something sweet at 6 am.

i suspect i m losing some weight because the pain sets in before i eat half of my allotted servings at meals. if the puppies hadn't chewed the electrical cord to my scale, i would know for sure.  i keep forgetting to have Beth get batteries for it. 

the pups have it in  for me.  they also chewed the $450 charger cord to my power chair, and think the best place to fight is beside my bed.  i think Beth has finally convinced them my room isn't their bathroom.  they are so tiny to be such a pain in the butt.

i hope things even out for you soon so you can have the skin removed.

Aloha my friend.....You already know how to solve this one...I know you do!! BIKE RIDING, AND OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS ARE YOURS AND YOURS ALONE.......LEAVE THE DAMN CELL PHONE HOME!! Ah, felt better just shouting that......LOL.

Aloha nui loa,

I know.  Leave the phone home and I will from here on out.. LOL.  What I'll do it take it but turn it off.  The bike ride was wonderful and I cannot wait until this evening so I can do it again.  My plans are to do it twice a day and hopefully my legs will get some strength in them.  I tried belly dancing and my leg muscles are too weak to support me in those exotic moves. LOL.  So, I am building up the thighs.  Hopefully I will do good.  Who knows.  It is a lot easier to ride the bike than to walk the same distance, or at least it is faster.

I have such a boney butt, that I don't think I could ride a bike for very long. Good for you, though....that's so excellent!!

I have an E-bike.  It's a recumbant bike with the grooviest seat!  I gotta get that thing out and get on it!  It's been in storage since before my WLS and now sounds like a good time to try it out.  I was in New Orleans night before last and went riding with my sister.  I used her hubby's and it tore my butt up!  I got my Ebike on Ebay. 
Check them out!

I, too, have a lot of trouble with my butt.  I have a pillow that I sit on in my office at home and at work. I just have such pain in my butt.  That's the only thing about losing so much weight is that I have no padding.

The butt does hurt.  At first I tried putting a towel on the seat to add cushion, but hubby found a more padded seat and it's okay.  Sometimes, I have to just stop and get off of it and stand. LOL
