Mine is kind of crazy, but I want to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back up). The only trouble will be finding someone to go with me, because my husband isn't too outdoorsy.

Mine may be a little random.... I want to be able to swing back on my horse, last time I was able to do it was freshman year of high school... at this point to get on with out a saddle, I have to find a bucket or use the side of the trailer.

I haven't ridden my motorcycle in probably 3 years. One of my goals is to do another track day, and that means losing at least another 30-35 pounds so I can fit in my leathers again. I've really missed riding and as I've packed the weight back on over the years it became less enjoyable and uncomfortable.

I want to be able to run a 5k. Even at my lowest weight in my best condition, I could never run a mile before.

I want to do a tough mudder. I'm still preop and I've gotten up to walking 1.5 miles a day. I want to be happy, so this all about me for once! I have a hard time doing for myself, so I need to start somewhere!

I'd also like to get back into hiking. My weight, my knees, and my feet have all prevented me from going places that I either used to hike, or would like to. As I get more fit and active I'd like to work towards a really big goal, like doing the Camino de Santiago or climbing Kilimanjaro.

      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!
