So this summer I took my family camping at Burney Falls in No.Cal. I couldn't walk over all the big rocks to make the hike to the edge of the falls. As I sat there watching my husband and kids climb over I made the decision to have wls. Next summer I am going to take my family back to Burney Falls and I WILL hike those falls with them. That is my goal! I don't know why I didn't think of it before but that just feels like coming to full circle. Next summer I will post pictures of me sitting on my rock from this summer and me standing in that waterfall from next summer! Now I'm excited!

Great goal.

I just got a post from one of my CF friends about doing an obstacle race in May called Mudderella. These other girls are well able to do it and want to do it as someone's bachelorette party; I'm the weak link. My goal is not to be the weak link.

I say your post about this. . Sounds exciting! I feel like these kind of goals are healthier (for me) than just watching the scale!

I look forward to seeing your photos next summer! (Burned falls is soon pretty!) I have the same goal but with hiking half done in Yosemite. I tried to hike it with my mom when she was 50 and I was 28 and I couldn't keep up.

I know it's not a super huge goal but it was a turning point for me and I already feel like I could do it so I'm totally excited! It sucks when someone 20,30,40 years older than me pass me up... No more!

      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!
