What activities are you looking forward to doing?



Recommended Posts

What I am really looking forward to is not having to wear suspenders. Also I want to be able to do a pull up again. I haven't done one since I was seventeen.

Well, just got back from a great week of skiing in Breckenridge CO. Haven't been skiing in over 10 years. My sleeve has given me a new life with no limits. :D

Here's my before and after only one short year later......

Just got invited for a guys weekend where one of the big activities is zip lining. I'm going to go. I've got 6 months to get to the weight limit and I booked it. I WILL MAKE THE WEIGHT. I know I can. I will succeed and do something I never dreamed I could.

Awesome! Sounds like a great goal to conquer.

So I just realized I posted in the guys group- I'm sorry! It came up as a recent topic the other day and I didn't see this was for the men only. Apologies dudes!

Oh crap, I didn't realize this was the men's room. Sorry guys!
Oh, this is men only? That explains a lot! LOL

Another 50 pounds and I will be able to safely ride my bicycle... can't wait, for 20 years it was my primary source of exercise.... The day I get on a plane and do not need a seat belt extension will be a good day...

I do tell myself that I am now 64 years old, and that muscular trim 22 year old is no longer there --- but a trim 65 year old awaits!

I have some health concerns, and I need to be there for my children

But I'm not gonna lie...

One of my main reasons for having 2/3 of my stomach removed is sex.....

Lots and lots of sex.......

My wife is 14 years younger than me, and she's a freak (one of the reasons I married her).

I wanted this surgery to change my life and help me do the things I wanted to do, but were too difficult, like sailing and kayaking with my kids.

6 months and 92 lbs later and now I'm doing it.

@@Recycled - I know the feeling you had at Breckenridge. Last week I kept my promise to my buddies that we would attack a 14K mountain next time we were in CO. That was impossible before surgery, but got it done

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
