Back in my boat!



Recommended Posts

So today I put my kayak in. I paddled through mangroves and popped out in Biscayne Bay. I floated, ate my hummus and read Dave Barry. It was heaven.

It's something I've been looking forward to all winter and felt awesome now that I'm down a few pounds. I will have to pick up a seat cushion though because ouch!! Some of my padding is apparently gone! :)post-77434-1466126355946_thumb.jpg post-77434-14661263713418_thumb.jpg

Mine isn't proper. She's ancient and but I love her. Her name is Princess Otter and we have been so many places together I can't let go. :)

Kayaking is awesome- there is something very therapeutic about bobbing around, watching the world float by. I'm pretty sure these guys were laughing at me doing absolutely nothing in their backyard. :)post-77434-14661281615092_thumb.jpg

It's all good so long as I can tote a Glock to deal with the local gators & snakes.

We have Water snakes in Oklahoma that look very much like Water moccasins. I was shore fishing and talked to guy in a float tube about it (he kept popping the snakes with his pole when they got close. He said, "only 1 in 4 can kill you." geez, I'll stay on shore here. But if I was in a better climate, that sounds like a very fun day.

That looks wonderful! I would love to get a kayak and paddle around some lakes here. For now, it's top of my list for what I plan to do on our upcoming Mexico vacation.

I had a Sig Sauer 229 fail on me with a grain of sand caught in the slide. I NEEDED that gun to work and it didn't. I haven't carried a semi auto for personal defense since that day. I now carry a Ruger LCRX in the .38 special +p variety. It is just over a pound loaded with 5 rounds. I don't need 10+ rounds.

      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!
