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

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
