Do you have any rather odd or unique goals?



Recommended Posts

Do a split again? WOW! For ever doing one!

I forgot a major one- my engagement and wedding bands were stuck on my hand for years due to my weight gain- and in the pre-op area they managed to get them off using a VERY painful method with wide dental floss tightening the finger and pulling them little by little. I have them on a gold chain now but want to lose enough to put them back on.

And I can now weigh on my scale from childhood!!!! 249 today....

After reading others goals, I have to say the one that jumped out at me was sitting in a lawn chair. It's that overall concept. I'm getting ready to buy an inversion table and my first thought when reading the specs was to jump to it's weight capacity. I would love to live life at a weight where I can assume I will not break the item, but just automatically be at such a reasonable weight that I don't have to check the capacity.

Oh and some day I want to be where no one knows me and, with weighing something like 160 pounds, I join into one of the silly conversations I hear in groups of "normal" sized women who are gabbing away about how fat they've gotten and how they just sooo need to do something about it. I don't know why. I've just never done that when it wasn't the absolute truth so it would be fun to play that silly little female game.

      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!
