Any "bucket List" Items Added Once You Get Your Weight Down



Recommended Posts

I have just started my process and have not been banded but I am trying to create a list of things that I never thought i could do but would like to once I lose a significant amount of my weight. I wonder what others have in mind for once they have lost their weight.

1. Scuba dive in the Caribbean.

2. Hike to the top of a mountain.

3. Run/Walk a 5 or 10K

I was banded 8 months ago and have discovered the joys of being able to cross my legs, exercise, buy normal sized clothes and generally feel good about myself. The big thing on my bucket list is to ride in the Great Victorian Bike Ride that takes place each November. I am going to ride in next year's Ride, but the only disappointment is that it is taking place in my home area :(

I entered an 8K road race last year as a memorial to a deceased friend...I had to walk most of it. I would love to be able to run the full 5 miles next time I run a race! smile.png

To be able to walk into Victoria's Secret and not buy anything. Not because I couldn't fit in their bras/panties, but because I chose not to.

I would love to Kayak. I tried it many many years ago when I was not so big and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would also like to participate in some Cancer charity walks. I've quite a bit of cancer survivors and losses in my life and would like to somehow do something for them.

I guess the rest of it is really everyday things that most skinny people take for granted. Like going to a restaurant or movie or a concert and not worry about seating. Being able to travel on a plane and not have to fly first class because of my size.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
