I totally LOVE horses. . i was raised on a horse ranch. . my dad had 2 - 3 of nearly every breed. . loved dressing up the clysdales at Christmas time for sleigh rides. . . had my own quarter horse too. . Pal the Palamino! We even had little awnery ponies. . . love em, love em, love em

I used to have a palomino mare, she was such a sweetheart. Now I'm just waiting for spring to come in earnest so it's more fun to get out there.

Haven't been on a horse for a long time. . . after i gained so much weight didn't think it would be nice to sit on the poor things. . . we have an equestrian center over here where i live and as soon as i lose the 99 lbs i have left, i may just stop over there and go on a trail ride . . .take daughter along as well. . . she would love it. . .

Hi there - yes I am a horse lover! We have 2 horses as well, but I leave the riding to my husband as too fat at the moment. My surgery is cheduled for 5 May and hoping that I will lose enought to ride again in the not too distant future!

What do you do with your horses and what type are they?

At the moment the horses are pasture ornaments: one is a Swedish Draft Horse, the other an Andalusian. But I like all kinds of horses, really :001_rolleyes:

If I'm into anything it's dressage and trail riding. Haven't been riding much now, though - never even sat on the Andi, she's so little... But once summer comes I thought I'd get to take her for a ride, too.

What horses do you have?

Have a big shire thoroughbred cross - 17.2 in shoes lol! He is really hubby's horse and does cross country and hunting.

My guy is a little fat cob - he's pretty much retired now but still bossing the others about in the field!

The way you're going with the vsg you'll be riding again in no time!

Back again and have been riding again, and it was great! More fun than I've had in a long time. It's funny finding your seat bones all of a sudden, and needing to re-evaluate your balance in the saddle. I'm down to weighing about 163 pounds or 11.6 stone (I'm metric system so I hope Google converted those right, 74 kg is what the scales are at) and it's a huge change. I'm so happy I can ride again without having to pity the horses too much.

        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
