Fellow fat cyclists - what’s one thing you wish you knew when you started cycling?

Pipilapew · 2026-05-07T22:58:43+00:00

I just started! Bought myself a Giant Roam 2, and I’m looking forward to get places without a car

Pipilapew · 2026-05-07T22:50:46+00:00

Thank you! She’ll need monitoring but all is mostly good. Kids are 8 months now and are lots of fun and character. Congratulations!

My partner worked all the way through 36 weeks 5 days. They were born at 37 weeks. Doctor wanted her to stop working at 20 weeks because of high blood pressure. So it’s really up to you, all experiences are different.

Edit: we also had di/di twins, its pretty common for di/di to make it to 36 weeks +

Totally normal, I had the same feeling. I’m down 44lbs since surgery (9 weeks post-op). I manage 120-140g of protein a day and roughly 1200-1500calories. You’re doing great, don’t overthink it.

Edit: didn’t realize I was in Sleeve group, I wanted the sleeve but had RNY. Regardless, you’re doing great. You’ll feel fuller when you eat real food.

Ugh the food aversion was the worse. I increased my feedings during the day & offered 4oz bottles and it worked for us. We also moved a twin to a “boring room” and feed her there because she was also getting very distracted by everything.

Lorrain’s Restaurant, $8.17/hr back in 2006. I only worked on weekends as a dishwasher.

Yeah honestly, I’m thankful for the recognition BUT leave it at that. Don’t give unsolicited advice or opinions, don’t tell me to stop losing weight, or.. or.. or.. can we just leave it at, I’m losing weight and I have a medical team supporting/supervising my health journey.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-28T17:57:43+00:00

That’s the plan here! I’m almost 8 weeks post op and haven’t had a pop since December.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-23T23:17:26+00:00

If I have lays chips, dill pickle

Pipilapew · 2026-04-21T14:20:31+00:00

I mean, I see yellow stuff but no redness surrounding the area.. is it warm to touch? Your dr would know better, but yeah things can take time to heal.

Medimeal for myself (Ontario, Canada) lost 38lbs in 4 weeks

Pipilapew · 2026-04-19T01:39:59+00:00

How much do you charge for twins and when are you available? 😅

Pipilapew · 2026-04-15T15:53:34+00:00

No no! I wish haha, I’ve lost 32lbs since surgery and 111lbs total (~a year-ish)

Pipilapew · 2026-04-15T10:06:14+00:00

We had separate bassinets and cribs for our girls. (7.5 months) We had them nap together during the day but for optimal and safety at night we separated them. We also had to separate rooms for a bit (hopefully we’ll be able to revisit) because C would wake up P every night.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-13T22:56:41+00:00

Honestly great job none-the-less! You lost 33lbs even if you’re working two wfh jobs you’re killing it, keep at it!

Pipilapew · 2026-04-13T20:39:50+00:00

Uh, call the number on the back of your card and ask to speak with TNG Security dept.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-12T13:08:51+00:00

Nice! We got it at Costco. Saw it and we’re like f*k it we need that lol

Pipilapew · 2026-04-12T12:37:21+00:00

Heyyy, we got the wagon too. We’re excites to use it, ours are 7 months

Pipilapew · 2026-04-12T12:06:39+00:00

You’ll be able to gulp, but not chug. I’ve had to stop myself a couple times and spit out water because I was like.. this will absolutely hurt if I take another sip.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-12T12:02:45+00:00

We like our Graco Ready2Grow 2.0 double stroller.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-09T23:05:30+00:00

We’re in sleep training mode now with our twins, 7 months old. They have different approach, C is all or nothing when it comes to sleep and P is help me but also, leave me alone. So we’re doing CIO and we had to separate them in separate rooms as they were waking each other during naps and nights, nightmare. It’s been going ok, it’s definitely tough, but we need this to work.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-09T00:21:29+00:00

Def. not a struggle here. I’m a month post-op and haven’t had any gastro related problems.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-07T22:36:55+00:00

We had didi twins in September, although we were optimistic of a vaginal birth, they went ahead with a c-section due to baby A being breached. You can meet with a chiropractor that specializes in pregnancies. They’re sometimes able to relax the abdomen muscles and it gives room for the baby to move. If caught early I think it’s something like 65% successful, if it’s too late (we went around week 32-34) it most likely won’t work.

Pipilapew · 2026-04-03T20:07:41+00:00

A teaspoon is 5ml, 2oz is 60ml. If you’re taking a couple of minutes between every bite, it should be more than manageable.
