Congrats on your potential surgery date!! Are you going to schedule it for the 22nd?

I did go this morning for my final consult. Although, I wasn't told that I would be there 4 hours so my husband was pretty angry. Anyway, my surgery is now scheduled for October 22. I came home with the meal replacment powder and all the vitamins that my doctor requires. I can see that it is going to be a struggle to drink 5 shakes a day. I have been drinking on my first one for over an hour. : (

This is my Bucket List that I posted on July 17, my surgery is now scheduled for October 22. Bucket List, Here I Come!

1. Cross my legs

2. Ride any ride at an amusement park

3. Run 1 mile (nonstop)

4. Parasail

5. Ride a motorcycle for hours without being in pain

6. Fit on a motorcycle with my husband

7. Touch my toes

8. Tuck my shirt in and not be embarrassed

9. Shop and wear clothes from Victorias Secret

10. Zipline

11. Step on a scale and not be embarrassed

12. Wear a bathing suit with confidence

13. Tube on a river (I will have to explain this one)

Thanks for the support everyone. It helps because my family isn't' supporting me right now.

Thanks MeMe, I have to laugh too because I refuse to cry.

Forgot to add that we bought a 25 foot camper over the weekend. I wonder if it is normal to worry about breaking the steps every time I climb up in the camper or tipping the camper over!

I lost 80 pounds without surgery 2 years ago. I ate very little and exercised 2-3 hours a day. Due to life and work, I got tired of working out and gained it all back but 10 pounds. I don't want to be a victora's secret model, just wear the clothes! : )

Thanks for the encouragement Sheila. I have talked with several people that have had lap band and gastric bypass. Although most of them did not keep off the weight, they all agree that I should have no problem because I am very active. I would be so happy to weigh 190 lbs. I am tired of wearing layered clothes to hide my rolls of fat at the office and then I sweat like a cow in heat.
