I need your help so I can walk...



Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone...back in January I registered for the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk. When you register, you commit to raising $2,200. Well, the walk is in two weeks and I'm not at that amount yet. I really want to do this walk very badly. I have always wanted to do it but I was too heavy and out of shape. If any of you guys would be interested in helping me get to my goal so I can walk, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not giving up...I am determined to get enough donations so I can walk with the other thousands of individuals for sixty miles. Don't forget, this is for a very worthy cause, as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!! You can get to my link to donate at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Odd that they won't let you walk unless you've already made a certain amount of money. But anyway... you sure you want this in the RnR forum and not Lounge? I'd be happy to move it for you...

My two sisters did the walk last year in Dallas. One was having a hard time getting donations, so we had a garage sale. We both contributed stuff, plus asked friends and co-workers to contribute items. It was really successful.

That's a great idea. I have some things that I really need to get rid of too. I have until four weeks after the event to completely finish raising the money but if I don't have to $2,200 by the time of the walk, I have to give my credit card number and at the end of four weeks, they will charge it. So...I will donate a couple hundred but I can't do much more than that. Thanks!

I wasn't sure where to post this...if you think I'll get a better response in the lounge, by all means, feel free to move it. Thanks!

      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!
