I am excited to finally be able to shop for clothes any where I want.

Excited to travel without having to worry about: being (more than normally) uncomfortable in airplane seats, if it will be too hot for me to function/enjoy myself, whether everything will hurt after a day of walking, that I stick out as an American tourist because of my weight.

I'm just excited to travel more and say "Yes!" to more things in general!

Why wait to "finally" lose the weight? You can jump start the process before your surgery and start enjoying the benefits right away. There are many milestones along the way before reaching that goal weight to enjoy. :)

Having said that...After finally losing the weight, I'm excited to look in the mirror without regret.

....ride rollercoasters without being told you don't fit on the rides, shopping for clothes at the mall and not the big & tall store, be able to sit in booths at restaurants, fit into my desk at school, the list can go on for days.

I am almost 15 months post-op and I think the most significant, rewarding change has been just the overall self esteem boost! Feeling good about yourself for the first time in forever is life changing!... I also finally don't mind having my picture taken, after avoiding the camera for so many years!... Love that I have pics of me and my babies together now! So excited for you as you start your journey! :)

I'm nearly two months post-op right now, and I already feel the esteem boost! There are still some things I'm physically restricted from doing, but I already feel so much better! Getting back into shape has been a major milestone as well! Like I said though, I'm mostl excited to be able to take my fitter body traveling.

I agree with all of these, I am excited about being able to throw on a tank top and shorts and run my errands wearing them. I'm excited about spending the day at the beach without the dreaded fear of what people are thinking I look like. I'm super excited to just be more comfortable in my own skin! I can't wait to get there. The journey is fun, I'm about 1/3 of the way there!

Taking more pictures with my kids. I avoid the camera like a plague now. I also want to walk past a mirror and not look the other way. I want to have more energy to play with my kids. I want to fit in a concert or airplane seat without my hips being squeezed.

I want to wear all of my old clothes and dresses that I have from before my kids were born. I want to wear high heels again. I want to shop for clothes that aren't just comfy, but also pretty.

I'm excited about buying clothes in regular stores especially those small, little boutique shops at places where I travel to.

Never have a random person ask me again if I am pregnant... Not being shocked in a bad way when I see myself in the mirror. To go in my closet & get clothes & not need shape wear to feel even remotely comfortable. To not have to go to the plus size store anymore because seriously I do not need sparkles, exaggerated prints or sequences on every top I own... So many things I am looking forward to!!

I don't mind the camera so much now. There are so many pictures of me and my siblings growing up, but very few pictures of Mom because she was embarrassed to be the biggest one in pictures. My daughters and grandkids will now have some pictures of me to show to their grandkids. In have even volunteered for a few pics and can't wait to renew my driver's license in December with a new photo on it.

Running around with my kids! Energy! Rollercoasters!! crossing my legs!! buying clothes at ANY STORE!!! going on vacation and packing LESS clothes, mirrors, playing softball (and making it to 1st base!!)...it's all so exciting!!

I have to say the most devistating part of being overweight was this past march we took the kids (Ages 3 and 4) to Disneyland...I got on a ride and the lap bar wouldn't secure...I was too big. My sweet babies didn't understand what was going on and started crying, So I was upset everyone was looking at me as the fat mom who couldn't take her kids on a ride, I just felt like my whole world was crushed. My sweet daughter came off the ride and told my husband, mom can't ride because she is too tall :( so daddy took them on the ride and they had a blast. I NEVER want to experience that again. This momma WILL ride all of the rides and not worry if I am going to fit into the seat! Sleeve on!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
