The Bucket List



Recommended Posts

Wow, what a film! Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson outdid themselves...wouldn't be surprised if they win awards for this one!

I've actually been thinking about such a list...didn't know it had a name.

What are 2 (let's leave it to two) things you'd like to do before you die?

Oh, before someone says this is off topic....

I never wanted to do anything before being banded. Felt like a prisoner in my body and in my home.

Now, I want to travel the world, meet new people, do new things!

I'll have to really think of what else I would like to do ...

Haven't seen the movie but heard it was great!! Well, there is a long lost of things on my Bucket List....but two of them are:

1. Complete a marathon- which I DID on October 21st, 2007!! Yes....all 240 pounds of me FINISHED!!:wink::Banane33:

2. To have a baby- which (god-willing) this new journey will help me be able to check this one off my list

I just hope I keep living a longer, happier and healthier life so my list can get longer!!

OK, besides reaching my goal weight,

Travel to Asia to visit our exchange students from a few years ago.

Build my new shop at home so I have a place to "hide" from DW when I retire.

Good thread. There is a great website called "43 Things" where you list 43 things you'd like to do. They need to be acheivable not just totally wishful thinking things. You write about your experiences in getting there, read other people's experiences, and cheer people on. It's really cool. People have some very crazy, sweet, touching, and wonderful goals. Plus, if you have a goal like "learn to speak Chinese" you can search for other people who have the same goal and read how they did it or chat with them. It's definately worth checking out.

;) Thanks for all your lists! Wonderful!!!

This subject, it really helped me think, is this something I really want to do or is it me just seeking approval and appreciation again, or is my soul really calling to this? Scratched a LOT of stuff off as a result, hahahaha. Here are my 3.

1. Snorkel naked with my beautiful husband in deserted warm crystal blue waters. {remaining post censored!}

2. sleep under the stars at the Temple at Delphi in Greece in complete silence.

3. Live for awhile, with nothing, in the Peruvian Rain Forest with an old, wise Curandero and learn his ancient arts - and spend some time alone in the canopy, watching.

      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!
