Howdy! I am planning on getting a tattoo and I have the design all picked out. I'm going to get a beautiful butterfly. Down the side of one wing, I am going to have the date I am banded. At the bottom of the butterfly's body, I am going to have the date I reach "one-derland." Down the side of the other wing, I am going to have the date I reach my goal. :thumbup:

According to Japanese legend if a koi fish succeeded in climbing the falls at a point called Dragon Gate on the Yellow River it would be transformed into a dragon. So, when I reach my goal weight, I want to get a tattoo of a koi. It represents perseverence in overcoming adversity. I'd like one of a koi transforming into a dragon, but haven't found one, yet, that I like.

I want to start riding again. I used to own a horse and ride all the time and now I am just to heavy. I found a place nearby that has a half lease program set up that I would love to try.

I also plan on a breast (whatever it takes) and maybe a TT if necessary.

I have planned on this goal, if I lose 50-60lbs by November, I am buying myself (and my son) tickets to Paris for a week in the spring. I have always wanted to go but have never even tried, so this is pretty big for me. :smile:

I want to go skinny dipping with my husband somewhere dark and romantic and a little risky. :blush:

I will buy ALL new underwear and bras... matching sets, cute ones. I know I'll spend a fortune on this.

And I'm not sure when I'll get to these, but I want to FLASH at Mardi Gras and I want to sunbathe topless at a beach that allows that.

(On good lord, I'm an exhibitionist trapped in a fat chick's body!!!)

Okay, I haven't set a final goal yet, but let me tell you a little story........I have always been heavy (220 in Jr. High). when I was first married (225 on Wedding day), my hubby and I would go to Yosemite every summer. I wanted to go horseback riding but they have a 200 pound weight limit. So everytime I went on a diet, the goal was to get down to horseback riding wieght. Of couse, 20 years of marriage and ballooning up to 265, that wasn't going to happen.

I am now in Onederland and my hubby, son and I are going on a camping trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park this summer. My hubby came in and said "good news honey,I checked and Zion has horseback riding and you meet the weight limit now. Only one problem.......now I don't meet the weight limit"

My son and I got a great kick out of that one. My son said he'd go riding with me and dad can stay at camp and keep the fire going for our return. :blush:

This isn't really a goal, just something I'm looking forward to! Last October, my fiance and I went to Disney World/Universal; after the first day, I thought my feet were gonna fall off! We had to take frequent breaks, and I avoided some rides b/c I was afraid I wouldn't fit. October 2010 we have another trip planned for Universal/SeaWorld (we are totally hooked!!!), and by then I should be down quite a bit in weight (surgery 7/21/09 if all goes well). I can't wait to be able to get on any ride I want and not worry if I'll fit. And I plan to be in much better shape so we won't have to take as many breaks!

      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.

        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!
