I'm going to say the few times I've been on a recumbent bike I've definitely enjoyed the workout. Especially if you get a really nice seat. Wife and kids can use one, and they are reasonable in price as well as other stuff. You could look used, search on amazon whatever. I've also heard of the bike/elliptical crossover trainers
From my understanding with home workout equipment and from research and other people I know the 300-500 range is usually the "works for about a year and has some minor inconveniences" thing. The machines that run 1-2k can last around 5 years, but 3k is a lifetime investment. So consider that whatever you buy may break in a year. Especially with daily solid use.
Also I've heard nothing but amazing things about PreCor gear, so take a look at craigslist or even businesses for sale to see if a gym has a used machine. You can also contact PreCor directly and ask them if they know of any used ones for sale (or so I read somewhere online once but never followed through personally so I may be handing out false information) It may be worth your time to look into it though! A phone call that could get you a 3-4k elliptical for even 1k may well be worth a 20 minute phone call -- though you may be like me and unable to spare 1k right now. That may be a down the line thing.
I would also second the switching up your diet. Change is great. Even just for a month "off" and practicing eating normal. Talk to your doctor about a switch for a while. I would imagine losing your routine that has gotten you this far can be scary, but it might be worthy of some research/consideration.
So far though holy moly dude, amazing work!! Your family must be so proud and honestly this is the greatest thing you could do for yourself! What an amazing example you are setting for your kids too! There aren't enough exclamation points here to express how impressed I am!
