Better Days To Come....i Have Hope!

Reading these blogs and forums has been such a great help to me and I have started to realize that there is hope and better days to come.

Everyone's inspiring stories has really made me start to think about what I'm looking forward to after I have surgery. Here is a list I will share with all of you:

Going out - anywhere without feeling embarrassed

Fitting in an airplane seat

Going to the movies without feeling stuffed in the seats

Sitting on the floor to play with my nieces and nephews

Bending down to pick something up

Exercising without feeling embarrassed

Riding my bike

Buying cute clothes from "normal" stores

Dating

Going to the park

Going on walks

Camping

Traveling-anywhere-and not having my weight hold me back

Swimming without feeling embarrassed

Feeling like I'm worthy.....of anything

Being taken seriously

Not feeling shameful

I know there is a lot more, but that's all I can think of for now. For all of you who are in the pre-op stages....what are you looking forward to the most?
