What's on your bucket list?



Recommended Posts

Tell me... what is on your bucket list now that you have reached a non-scale victory (NSV) or ultimate goal?

Is there something you want to do that you've never dreamed of doing?

Spill it!

I've been at goal for a little over two years and life is awesome!

I do mud runs with my kids, I am a martial arts instructor, I run the dunes in Kill Devil Hills, I Zumba. I am no longer self conscious of my size when I travel, I can fit in airplane seat and down the aisles of various means of transportation without have to shuffle sideways sucking in my gut. Theatre seats are comfy, hotel bath towels fit all the way around me and amusement parks ride operators no longer grimace when they see me coming.

And the shopping...don't even get me started.

I just want to live life to the fullest. My sister asked if I wanted to do this crazy obstacle course/zip line adventure and I said yes without hesitating. We went yesterday and got to the section where you choose the 'easy' or 'challenging' route and we just smiled at each other and went left. It was like Ninja Warrior in the trees with a harness on. We completed 49 courses/zip lines and we had a BLAST. All I could think is how impossible it would've been even 50 lbs ago. Of course I won't be able to wear shorts for a week or two now...

On my bucket list once I reach goal weight:

I want to do a zip line in the NC mountains through the trees!

I'm saving for a Splash Painting by Christina Grenard.

And I want to hike around Crater Lake in Oregon.

      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!
