Able to shop & find something that fits in a dept store that isn't a Women's ext size store or has a W after the number.
Able to get on an amusement park ride with my kid without the fear of not fitting

I can't wait for the dryer to stop shrinking my clothes!!!

Update: I had my surgery on August 30, 2012. Somewhere on this forum, I posted that I wanted to be able to accept my husbands jacket when offered to me on a chilly night. This seemed like a silly thing to "want"...
I am happy to say, I can accept his jacket now - and it's BIG! I may be losing slower than others on this forum - but I couldn't be happier! I am almost 9 months out and down about 91 pounds. I went from a size 24 in plus size to a size 14 regular size! I can go into any store and find clothes that fit! I thank god that I had the courage to go through with this surgery - it has changed my life!

I'm using Bariatric Advantage vanilla. Not too bad

I don't know about all of you, but I just wanna look good naked!

Yayy we did it

Day one complete!!
Only 9 more pre-op to go!!

I start my liquid diet today too. I have had the same fears as you! But someone here said to me that my attitude on how I approach this pre op diet had a lot to do with how I did this week. So my mind set changed. I now see this as a challenge to prep me for what is coming post op. Dont think of everything you can't have... think of your goal (which is to loose all the excess weight). It's definitely going to be hard and a test. But we can do this!!! Good luck!

I can't wait to NOT hate clothes shopping because nothing ever fits
I can't wait to wear a cute bathing suit Nd not hang out everywhere
I can't wait to NOT get out of breath walking up the stairs
I can't wait to be able to wear shorts in the summertime instead of pants because I hate my legs
I cant wait to be able to run when I work out!

I cannot wait to be a skinny b***h!
I cannot wait to be out of the double digits!

I can't wait to NOT have to ask for a self belt extender on a plane.

Hi, have my Preop class date on the 28th, will find out all the info then. Still reading all i can, just finished a book by on my book by pennie nicola called the sleeved life. It was very informative à patient to patient book...

Here's a tip for all of u that are drinking Protein Shakes, get the vanilla and put in a few drops of a flavored extract. I put in banana extract and it really makes it so much better!

Good luck everyone. We will save you a seat on the losers bench!

June 6th for me too! There are a lot of June 6th threads already so there are many others with the same date!

I am June 3rd ! Very scared! Need my June buddies to help me !

Not sure specifically what date ... But JUNE is the month!!! Yay!!
Anyone else have a June date?

Hello ALL!!!! I'm so excited....Anthem approved me yesterday...Doc office called said my surgery will be either June 5th or 12th....they have to check all their spots to make sure I fit in there for pre-op stuff and then surgery on one of those days. I will know for sure by Wednesday this week. I'm so excited and scared for all the possibilities that are ahead of me!
I would just like to send good vibes out and let everyone know that THIS is our jumping off point, THIS is where our new begginings start....we haven't failed....we are just starting! and I for one am very proud of all of us. This surgery takes a huge leap into forever change, and I can't wait! SO STOKED!
Thanks, Kim
