So this summer I took my family camping at Burney Falls in No.Cal. I couldn't walk over all the big rocks to make the hike to the edge of the falls. As I sat there watching my husband and kids climb over I made the decision to have wls. Next summer I am going to take my family back to Burney Falls and I WILL hike those falls with them. That is my goal! I don't know why I didn't think of it before but that just feels like coming to full circle. Next summer I will post pictures of me sitting on my rock from this summer and me standing in that waterfall from next summer! Now I'm excited!

Great goal.

I just got a post from one of my CF friends about doing an obstacle race in May called Mudderella. These other girls are well able to do it and want to do it as someone's bachelorette party; I'm the weak link. My goal is not to be the weak link.

I say your post about this. . Sounds exciting! I feel like these kind of goals are healthier (for me) than just watching the scale!

I look forward to seeing your photos next summer! (Burned falls is soon pretty!) I have the same goal but with hiking half done in Yosemite. I tried to hike it with my mom when she was 50 and I was 28 and I couldn't keep up.

I know it's not a super huge goal but it was a turning point for me and I already feel like I could do it so I'm totally excited! It sucks when someone 20,30,40 years older than me pass me up... No more!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
