I would like to get a family picture--one that I could put on a Christmas card to people I see very rarely. Right now we only use pictures of the kids because I don't want the people I see every 10 or 15 years to see how I look now.

I would love to have a great picture of the whole family.

I would like to have a fourth child and have everyone see a baby bump right away and not think oh here Jeni goes getting fat again or wait is she pregnant? I want to see the skin move when the little one kicks etc and not just feel and see a little rumble. I want to experience pregnancy as a thin person.

I want to renew my wedding vows in an actual wedding dress. I know I could do that as a bigger gal, but I would love to have that knock out figure coming down the aisle.

I want to do a solo dance performance that is NOT a comedy routine, and I want a pretty costume to wear for it.

(I teach belly dance, but quit performing when my weight ballooned the last time.)

marykb, i do the same thing for pictures! belly dancing should be a good excercise llyra. i would like to try that new zumba dance tap. i love to dance but am too embarassed to do it in public. i would also like to get back in a bathing suit and go tubing down the river without thinking everyone is watching me trying to get on the tube!

Walk, as long and as far as I want to, without any pain. Ride all the rides at any amusement park with my grand kids. Go to the pool in an actual bathing suit, not shorts and a T shirt.

Try to ride a bike again. Used to love to ride, but am now afraid I would dwarf the bike, and the tires would go flat.

I too would love to have a picture done of me and hubby. We've never had one done.

Hmmm...... I'm not sure what I want. I guess all I want is to feel better about myself and the way I look.

Belly dance is good for your soul, too. I've been dancing and/or teaching since 1976. Had to slow up when my weight crept up to 240 because of the stress on my knees, but it's getting better and by fall, I should be able to get back after it instead of just coaching. Find yourself a class- you'll love it and there are all sorts of body shapes that belly dance.

I want to go to six flags and ride all the rides. I have been one of those people that had to leave the ride because I didn't fit, I never want to go thru that sort of embaressment again :smile2:

I also want to go shopping at a normal store in the mall like Charlotee rues (sp?).

I want I want I want!! I want and am planning for everything on here, even the belly dancing. LOL

I can't wait to go clothes shopping without hiding from those huge mirrors that are impossbile to hide from in the dressing room. I hate trying on clothes now that I've gotten so heavy.

I want some pictures of me with my kids. I'm a good photographer so there are a million of them with my husband. They're all good looking and thin! There's no actual evidence that we are living on the same planet even though I spend all my time with them. It also wouldn't kill me if a man started flirting with me and I had to tell him I was married. It's been a while! Some off the rack shopping for some really nice clothing would be a nice bonus too. Am I getting too greedy?

I want to start dating. I really have not bothered trying to date anyone because of my size. These men are not interested in a woman my size. They can't get past my weight and really get to know me. I'm tired of hearing "you have a really pretty face, but..."

There is so much I want to do. Everything I'm not doing now I want to do. I would love to date again. Just to start off, I want to walk up the stairs and not be so tired from half a flight.

I can't wait to feel good/better about being in a swimsuit...and then I would really love to scuba. The hard thing about being heavy is that fat floats....makes scuba a little hard.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
