I was just thinking the same thing!!
Also, I'd like to be able to just Jump out of the pool instead of waddling out like a sea lion or having to always swim to the stairs (not the metal ones cause I'm terrified my fat ass will rip them of trying to tug my big butt out!!)

We go to the pool alot and when I sit my wet butt on the concrete it makes a huge mark
Also when hanging our shirts and shorts over a chair mine are twice the size of everyone else's.

I am ready for people to QUIT ASKING ME WHEN MY BABY IS DUE! It makes me so angry although I have gotten better at saying Actually hes 2 1/2 and I am just fat! Dont ask questions your not ready to hear the answers to! \

Omg yes or rainbow bright don't cloth designers know we can be spotted with or without these crazy designs? I can't wait for clothes to really fit I am thinner legs and an inner tube tummy so my pant are parachutes ... Lol I actually dreamed I rolled a pair up at the ankles like we did in middle school so they would fit propper for once

I work in a child development center on a marine corps base. I will no longer have 4 and 5 year olds asking me why I'm so fat!!! Why my arms are so big!!! I will be able to wear heels without fear! Stop sweating so much! Dance with my husband without getting tired so quickly! Shop in Express and BeBe!!! Lol

I will like to soak in a tub with all of my belly being under the Water.< /p>

No fat jokes
No insults from people on the streets
The bottom half if my belly poking out
The fat rolls looking like a spare tired
Reaching my toes so I can paint them
Breathing better

Omg those bucket lists are fabulous!!! I'm reading them thinking," yup these are all MiLESTONES as the weight came off!" and because of the buckets list we can all relate to, is why the bypass family is compassionate )
One I would add is:
to be able to skydive. Which I completed Nov 7, 2008. I didn't have to sign the extra waiver cause the extra weight posed a danger, didn't have to pay the extra weight "hazard fee" and I actually was able to fit in any suit they had to offer.

When I sit down on a surface or chair and I hit that surface hard enough that it makes a sound I say "ouch" so it seems more like I fell versus my body being so huge that furniture makes noises when I sit... I'll be happy to no longer do that

I want to look as awesome on the out side that I know I am on the inside.
I want people to stop questioning why my boyfriend and I are together.
"you have such a pretty face" nuff said
I want to go skinny dipping; not chunk dunkin.
Going outside without dying of heat stroke, (it was 111 here yesterday)
Being on top durring sex;)

Ok. Love everybody's list.
Having to wear two bras to exercise
Walk in front of inmates with out hearing constant fat remarks yelled at me (I work in a prison)
Won't miss pulling my shirt out of my back fat

Not being able to cross my legs when sitting, not getting out of breath walking from kitchen to couch, not sweating like a pig in wintertime, not having heat stroke after sex!!

Love everyone's!!
Mine would be::
1. Wrapping a towel ALL THE WAY around me after a shower or dip in the pool!
2. Being able to shop on the clearance rack in target!! (they never have anything cute in my MOO MOO size)
3. Wear a winter coat that doesn't make me look like the kid in "a christmas story"
4. Go to a theme park/ Water park and ride EVERYTHING without fear of not being able to fit or looking funny!
5. Stand next to my, 6" 2' physically fit...without an ounce of fat on him, husband and look like we actually belong together

No more back fat. LOL

No more buying long shirts or being afraid to lift your arms because your belly-belt will be exposed

A friend of mine who is getting surgery around the same time is me, was cracking me up the other day when we started to think of all the fat person issues that will go away when we have our surgery. Here was our list, please add your own.
No more seat belt extensions on planes
Ability to sit in booths without having to move the table
All the buttons/snaps on our pants are broken
Sweating all the time
Ability to shop wherever we want
No more elastic
No more expensive fat people stores like Lane Bryant.
Ability to bend over and shave my.legs without passing out
Roller coaster rides!

Not having my legs stick together when I walk!!!

Just got back from an early morning swim....will walk two miles later with the dog.

I'm so excited to go to my orientation seminar tomorrow. I'm fasting tonight cause they're drawing labs in the morning. Then the seminar and 2 support group meetings. I have an appointment with my PCP and the dietician next week for my second month of "weight management". August 22nd I'll meet with the surgeon.
I'm so ready but I'm struggling with my diet and exercise. I think I'm eating everything I won't be able to eat again. I know I need to stop eating junk and work on losing weight. I've done it many times before but it never last more than 3-4 months then the weight comes back plus some. Here's to permanent change! :-)

I referred to it as my food funeral, and many people go through the same thing. Just remember as yummy as the food is, those extra pounds you gain you will have to fight to take off-not nearly as fun or easy. BTW-the smaller your liver is (the biggest reason for pre-op diets) the easier it is for your Surgeon to safely conduct the surgery.

Eventually you will be able to eat anything you want. Your head will tell you take one more bite it is SOOOO GOOOD. However you take that bite and your stomach proudly says that was the dumbest thing you have ever done and your punishment will be to send it in reverse. Trust me after throwing up a few things you learn to listen to the tiny voice in your stomach - he is always right over the voice in your head. Please remember you will eventually be able to eat anything you want, but the key is learning Portion Control.< /p>

I'm very blessed! But still have a loonng way to go.

My starting weight was 345 I'm now three months out and just hit 250! It's crazy how different I feel and how my confidence has just risen! It also makes me so sad to see how different ppl treat me. But overall so happy I'm getting healthy and making this life long change at 18.
