I'm curious about what everyone is looking forward to doing once they lose the weight. Something you couldn't have done if you kept the weight on. For me it is riding roller coasters and scuba diving. Just curious.

Fit comfortably in airline, train, bus seats!!! Lol. Three weeks postop...on my way...yay!

Never have to fear that any seat will be too small or it will break from my weight. I think I'm about there....but I can't be sure! I still worry about it. It used to keep me from going to summer picnics and places where I knew seating was an issue. Obesity is limiting in so many ways, but for me, that was the worst and it imposed itself in my daily life!

My husband and mines 10 year wedding anniversary is in Sept 2015, we are tanking a cruise and we want to zip line and parasail. We went on one this Feb and couldn't do anything like that. Plus I want to fit in airplane seats better. We have 5 kids and we want to ride all the kids with them again at Cedar point and Universal. We go to Disney all the times and have a hard time on the roller coaster types rides. I just want to enjoy life more with my babies ;)

So happy for you! You will do just that! I celebrated 20 hrs wedding anniversary and my eldest is about to Celebrate his 21st! I missed out on all of that and regret it. Had no energy from being over weight also...best wishes

Initially, getting back on a bike would be good. I used to do triathlons until i could not get up the hills without exhaustion. but a secret goal, if i can get my weight to my goal, is to try a rock climbing wall. that is something that I never, ever thought woudl be possible.

I am looking forward to not thinking about my size as life unfolds. Whether a theater seat or extension belts or carnival rides or tying my shoes or shopping for clothes.

I'm looking forward to taking my size out of all equations.

Like others, I'm looking forward to not shopping in the plus size department and to be able to go into stores I couldn't have considered. I'm looking forward to being a good example for my kids in terms of leading a healthy, active lifestyle. I'm looking forward to weighing less than my husband for the first time ever. I want us to go to Hawaii for our 15th anniversary in a year and a half being able to do whatever we want to do.

      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!
