What have you done to treat yourself, post-weight loss?



Recommended Posts

8 months post-surgery, 150lbs+ lost, and celebrating life this summer, I finally bought the car I've wanted since I was a fat, poor, 18 year old... a Miata. :)

My "excuse" is that my son is getting his permit in December and I really want him to learn to drive a stick (our other cars are autos). Miata's are now very cheap used cars, though deeply impractical in the most delicious way possible. We're stoked. :)

What have you done to

This is sooo awesome it made me smile! I was thinking what is a small car I never could fit in that I wanted too! How funny. Very cool! :D

That's awesome!

For me, it's the obvious--clothes shopping! It's fun now! And I have so many options, instead of just getting what I can find that fits.

Not to mention his son! Good that he's learning stick first!

Awesome! I hope it's a fun car - as much as you hoped it to be.

My small car that i could never fit in would be the 67 ac cobra. Much appreciate the Miata's though as far as a road course car they're hard to beat.

That's funny, my car that I would like to treat my self to is a little baja bug, they are way fun if you are skinny enough to fit in them.

        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!!
