Lisa...Yes, I own Lamborghini. I LOVE him!! He's a handful, but such a sweet boy. I was so sad to retire him, but he's 19 years old, and he definitely deserves it!! I probably won't be going to many shows this year :thumbup: But I live in the town that Chattanooga-Cleveland Charity show is in, so I will definitely be there!! I'm hoping to maybe catch drive some of the ponies at the barn this year. I'm at the same barn as the pony Seamair's Simply Awesome, so there are some nice ponies at the barn, and I'm dying to show one! haha Racking is amazing! As soon as Janet had me ride a gaited horse years ago, I was hooked. lol Whenever I get to get another horse, I'm either going to get a gaited horse or I really really wanted a walk trot horse!

I'm adjusting pretty well after the surgery. I haven't rode yet, but I'm so busy with school and work that I haven't had time. I still have some random pain and sensation around the port area. And I go for my first fill today..YAY!! I'm starving! haha I hope to actually meet you one day!! The first show for us is always Pro-Am in Perry, GA.

Is a saddlebred ok for pleasure riding? I don't really intend to show I don't have the time or money for it. I just LOVE to ride.

Yes. A friend of mine has a Saddlebred that is just for pleasure. You need to make sure you find the right one though. I had a show horse before that would have been great for just pleasure riding. You can definitely find a great Saddlebred that is not high strung.

Hello all. This is my first time posting on this site. One of my biggest reasons for wanting to lose weight was to be a more fit rider. I hated the way I looked in photos while horseback riding, and I wanted to be more kind to my petite elderly Arabian mare, while riding. I wanted to look more, in proportion with her while riding.

The only downside to me hoping to lose this weight, is I just bought a very nice Tucker trail saddle; hoping it'll get to be too big for me! :)

I can't wait to ride again, I'll wait 2-3 weeks, and then just do a short flat walk for a bit. See how I feel.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
