Had a great ride today. We had to trailer about 30 miles to get out of the snow but had a very scenic ride on the cliffs overlooking the Snake River coming out of Swan Valley, ID. We worked our way down one of the canyons to the river so the dogs could drink and swim and we had a little lunch. My seat shrinker pad works great and kept my shrunken butt firm in the saddle even with a little "spring fever" behavior from my horse.

Ahh I'm so jealous ! My horse is up for sale because he has decided he refuses to be ridden anymore and his "I'm a giant draft I can do what I want " attitude has kicked in. Trying to convince myself it's time for a normal sized horse! Hoping to finally ride this summer but horse prices up here are insane right now! I still feel I will crush any non draft horse I sit on , hopefully I can get past that feeling!!

Wow great pictures it looks like a beautiful place to live. My current goals: run a 5k and get back on a horse. Hope to do both within the year. Thank you VSG!

I don't remember where I ordered mine from. I just googled seat shrinker and went with the best price I could find (around $80 with shipping) The one I got is made by Martin. It's made for a western saddle, but fit my aussie just fine. It's actually pretty comfy.

And may all of you be back in a saddle soon!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
