I finally got my Surgery date scheduled for May 2rd ( sorry I realized I put the wrong date !!! anyone else have that Surgery date??? I am soooo excited and so nervous at the same time!! I've never had any type of surgery so I have absolutely no clue what to expect?!? I am in Indiana going through St. Vincent's...anyone else?? They called yesterday, gave me my surgery date, all the info about Check in, then said someone would call me Monday to set up a nutrition class to explain how and what I will be eating post surgery! I can not wait!!

I have a 14 month old and am a stay at home mom he is weighing about 30 lbs and loves to lay on my tummy I am a little worried about this also !

I'm pretty much in and out of the office. I am planning on taking a week and a half. I go in on a Wednesday and I think a week and a half should be ok.

Can't wait to get back in the gym
I can't wait to buy boots that come up my calf and comfortably wear heels.
Buy normal bra and panty sets from the store without having to order.
Fit in my bathtub comfortably
And I know it's bad but I can't wait to take one bite out of done Popeye's chicken!

Throwing on shorts and a tank top, and leaving the house wearing them! I live in south Florida, it's hot! But I never wear shorts or tank tops out, this would be so awesome for me!

Can't wait to come home and not be glued to the couch all night due to lack of energy.
Never been a runner, but for some reason I want to be able to run for exercise.
Stop wearing sleep apnea mask!
Cross my legs, don't ever recall being able to do so.
Not worrying about fitting in booths or how sturdy outdoor furniture is.
Shopping in normal size clothing stores and not paying $60 for a pair of pants.
Being able to ride at amusement parks. I live 30 minutes from hershey park, plan on getting a season pass next year!
Not feeling like everyone is looking at you when you're in public.
Having my husband and son benefit from the new healthily eating and getting them more active with me.
Actually being in photos instead of always taking them.
Many more that I can't think of right now. I see July 24 as the start of many good changes to come

1. Having the energy to chase after my kids!
2. Smaller clothes. Going shopping with friends and family members has always made me uncomfortable, because none of the clothes would fit me. I was just along for the show! I want to be able to wear those clothes, own those clothes, and be freakin amazing in those clothes!!!
3. Not having to squeeze myself into my jeans, because I refuse to buy the next size up!
4. Riding rides and not having to have someone come by and help me to latch the harness, and being terrified the whole time that the seat belt will break loose and I will fall to my doom!
5. Two piece bathing suit! I want to be able to wear a two piece bathing suit and be comfortable and feel attractive!
Those are just a few... I could probably go on and on!!!

I look forward to just being comfortable in my own skin. I miss that!

Thing's I'm looking Forward To Post-Op..
1. Wearing smaller clothes...My small goal for right now is to wear size 14 which I haven't seen since I was 11years old.
I don't know what it's like to not wear sweater's and jeans in the summer.
2. Summer activities...I skipped out on the Fire Fly music festival out here for the past 2 year's because I can't imagine being over 200lbs and being comfortable for 3day's out in the heat. All I can think of is all the sweat, smells and chaffing.
3. Amusement Park!... Regardless I've never been too big to not fit on the rides, but I've been damn near close which was embarrassing as hell.
4. Belly Button Piercing...Ok this one is rather silly, But I was the fat kid in school (I know, Shocker..) and back then the cool thing to do was get you're belly button pierced, Not that I'm cool or anything but to have a belly button piercing and to be comfortable enough to show my belly will be a big deal for me.
5. Not being as Hot...I'm always so bloody hot, I sweat like a pig it's ridiculous.

Can't wait to get in to a suit . Go on a ride at a amusement park , buy cloths at a normal store learn to scuba dive

Hmmm....I look forward to many things. But #1 - I look forward to having more energy!

I can't wait to go shopping in a regular size clothing store and know that anything I see and like, I can try on. I don't have to go searching for the largest size on the rack, and hoping they have it.

I've told my parents and husband. I've slowly told people at work I'm having surgery soon but I've said gallbladder surgery. I just don't feel comfortable telling people. The most important people know that's all that matters.

It's not a lie when it's none of their business!!!! Your allowed to keep your medical business or any personal business for that matter private.
But if it's bugging you try A truthful response that still protects your privacy.
Have you lost weight.... Yes thanks
Is that all your eating ....Yes thanks
How are you losing all that weight....lots of hard work thanks for noticing
What is your secret....no secret just a lot of hard work
What exactly is your diet... Lots of Protein it really fills me up
I call it creative honesty... And it kinda makes me laugh. Just don't let people derail you. In most cases they really do mean well.

I'm going to tell people I was abducted by aliens, and had tests performed on me. Just for fun.

I'm not lying, exactly, but now that my leave of absence has been announced, several of my colleagues have asked me "are you OK?". I've just told them "I'm fine. I just have a little something I need to take care of. Thanks for asking."

Oh yea..I lie all the time now...well, when it comes to my weight
Are you losing weight?
Me: No, my clothes shrunk in the dryer, its tighter so makes me look thinner (lie)
How are you losing so much weight?
Me: Oh god, I live in the gym. I exercise 7 days a week, glad its paying off (lie)
Thats all you eat?
Me: Yea, not that hungry, Water filled me up (lie)
You drink a lot of water!
Me: Oh I love water! (Biggest b.s lie)
Lies,lies, lies...but really I'd rather lie than to tell my business and be criticized and hear negative comments people have to say about having wls.

The side by side didn't upload with my last post.

Mine was for the first time in my life not being able to fit in a amusement park seat or being packed into an airline seat.
