I have fond memories of Omaha from years ago when I was stationed at SAC HQ. The stockyards at 42nd & L "smelled like money" according to some!

Big Red football was a passion for many...but took a hit when one of the players was asked by a reporter what the "N" on the side of his helmet was..."Uhhh...Nowledge?" :thumbup:

ONEDERLAND!!!

Awesome going there D.

I thought I was the only one who had to see a number twice to trust it. I never change it back though if the scales goes up. NEVER.

What size/poundage do you plan on calling goal? Is PS in your future?

HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been missing you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not riding tonight either...I have not been on my bike since Saturday....talk about withdrawals, well, I was on it in the house.....but that is NOT the same thing. Thurs, Fri and Sat.........I am hittin' it hard!!!

JC has a Trikke????? I wonder if it is hard??? It looks plain fun...not something I would want to do 50 miles on.

I never change mine either J, that's why I sit at the same number for so long!!!! I lose, then I gain back a few, then I lose it, and then I gain it back....it sucks.

I am calling 170 goal for now. But the lower I go, 150 might be it for me. I made DH promise to tell me when he honestly thinks I look the best, and even if I have to put on 5 pounds to be there, I will. I think someone else looking at us, sees better than what we see. Unless of course we are in a 14 swimsuit in the changing room. Right, J?????

I would like to think I will have this ridiculous pannus taken off and some rework to my chest....I have always been large on top and they just keep getting smaller and smaller, with more and more loose skin hanging around everywhere.

I wonder if someone would of shown me what my body would look like at 37, after having bariatric surgery, and losing a lot of weight, if I would of taken better care of myself? I doubt it. I really doubt it.

Thanks for the shout outs!!!

Not only did I get on the scale three times in 5 minutes to be sure that is what it said, but I will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it is the same. I truly doubt it will be. Seems to never stay the same day to day!!

D,

The bumps, I mean itty bitty pimples we rode in Indiana were kicking his ass. He trained only in flat Florida. I understand hills on Trikkes are hard.

But I've seen people ride them on hills in KY and souther Ohio which have the foot hill of the Apalachian.

I've got class tonight so no riding for me. I took a spinning class and I'm drenched.

Yeah D,

Just go swim suit shopping with bright lights and poorly cut suits...you'll get an accurate picture of how you look.

I'm holding out a verdict on what my goal weight will be until after PS. I want to see 150 before it, so I'll be around 140 when it's done, I figure I can still lose 10 pounds after and be okay.

For real, my highest weight that was recorded was 338. I know I was closer to 350. That's 165 pounds that I've stretched this skin around that is not there now. It will be 200 when I go for PS consult. I was really quite big and my skin tells that story.

I know what you mean, if someone showed me what I'd be looking like now back in the heyday of eating and gaining, I'd not have changed, I'm sure. Scared Fat wouldn't have worked on me.

      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!
