I'm thinking about getting a piece of jewelry to commemorate the surgery and remind myself what it took to get there and sentimentality of it all. Anyone do that?

I've been thinking about a tattoo as well, when I get to my goal. I'm leaning toward something incorporating a line from my favourite book that feels fitting to me now and about reclaiming my health...

"Renewed is blade that was broken..." written in elvish.

Hmmm I hadn't thought of a text. I guess it would be" She saw it needed done and did it!" or perhaps " In it to win it- and I did!" And what would the rest of you have tattoed????

I wish tough mudder was a little further away to have more time to heal because I would love to do that one.

I did one a few years ago, and just committed myself and my husband to doing one in April 2020 with the same crew (my surgery date is April 25). After training for that, I was in great shape. I’d lost about 90 lbs (so I was 50 lbs lighter than now but still obese), but more importantly I’d been trail running and lifting. I’ve started those things back up again. It was/is a great motivator, and was tons of fun. Well, except for the ice water and the electrocution, of course! I’d recommend roping some friends in, it’s way more fun and some of the obstacles are designed with a team in mind.
