1. Fly in an airplane in comfort...done!

2. Fly in a small plane where they need to know your weight before take off (and I told the truth!)...done!

3. Walk through town eating a ice cream cone (a small one) and not feel like people are staring at the fat lady...done!

4. Buy a single digit item of clothing...done!!!!!!!!

5. Buy boots in a department store...done!!!

I started at 244 and I am now fluctuating between 129 and 131...I had a life long problem with obesity, and this is my first time living as a thinner person...I am on a drug known for weight gain, so I am watching daily...I am determined to never weigh over 135 again!!!

Oh!!! How fun!!!!!!

1. I love love love maxi dresses - want to wear one without looking like a linebacker (I got boobs too so this may or may not happen even when I'm thin).

2. Not feel uncomfortable during sexy time with the b/f...constantly asking if he's looking at my fat. blink.gif

3. Go to Water parks in the area and feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy them, not asking for a 2 piece, but at least not a skirted suit.

4. Take up swimming again. I swam competitively for years and want to get back to doing that.

5. Not have to worry about being smooshed in a booth/movie seat/plane/roller coaster....etc. I've never been turned away from a ride, but man have my hips been mad at me after being smooshed into some of those seats.

6. CLOTHES. I'm a clothes whore now, I don't even want to know what kind of shopoholic I'm going to be once I can go anywhere.

The simple things really.

The weight is coming off pretty good. My first big goal is 50 pounds and I'm at 33 now. To Celebrate I'm going to learn to ride a motorcycle and buy a Harley :D I keep telling people it's on my skinny bucket list. Even though I'm getting the whole 'you're crazy!' thing from people. Actually here's my whole skinny bucket list:

1. Ride a Harley

2. Get back on a roller coaster

3. Get a boyfriend (:wub:)

4. Wear a bikini (of course, that's my final bucket list item :D)

So, what's on your bucket list? Maybe I can add some ideas to mine :)

Not panic about driving with other people because I might have to sit in the backseat. Many backseats have seat belts that are smaller than those found in the front.

Hi all!! I've been a member here since June 2010, but I have struggled with losing the pre-op weight needed in order to get banded. I'm giving it another shot now. I need to lose get down to 290 before I can get it done and I'm currently 315. I have been big my whole life and I have always thought about the things I would do once the weight came off. I'm so excited to think they may finally happen. Here is my list:

1. Put on my shoes and socks without having to sit on a couch with my leg rested up on a cushion. (I can't prop my foot up on my knee anymore).

2. Buy cute shorts and skirts and not worry about my fat thighs.

3. Buy cute knee boots to wear with skirts (I can't wear boots because my calves are too big)

4. Not have to constantly stretch my shirts before putting them on in order to hide the rolls

5. To be more comfortable when being intimate with my husband.

6. Be able to get on the floor and play with my son

7. Be able to get in and out of our boat with out assistance.

8. Wear my seatbelt in any car without worrying about by belly pushing the shoulder belt into my neck

9. Be able to buy clotes in any store I go to

10. BE ABLE TO WEAR CUTE MATERNITY CLOTHES WITH MY NEXT PREGNANCY (This is a biggy for me because I always looked forward to wearing those cute maternity shirts with the sayings on them, but with my son, I couldn't find any that would fit me. Even maternity clothes were too tight on me :(

11. Be able to wear and look good in a bikini

12. Go to a doctors office and not dread getting weighed and getting the lecture from the doc about my weight.

13. Go on future cruises and vacations and not worry about looking like a whale.

I probably could go on, but I will stop there.

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
