i hear ya on the clothing store. I agree also about the roller coaster. I once went to great america with a friend (male) stood in line for over an hour only to get there and not be able to fit in the seat. OMG! how embarrassed was I. My friend was wonderful. He took his ride. i met him at the bottom and he never once said anything, we went on with our day like nothing happened! LOL

Ooh! I'd like to be able to comfortably do a roller coaster again. I always tell my friends "I just don't like it anymore" but the truth, it's just not comfortable, or I don't fit, and it's embarrassing! I guess along with that sit comfortably in a movie theatre seat, and an airplane seat. It's getting a lot easier, but I want to not be touching the sides ahha.

My #1 thing is I want to be able to go in to ANY women's clothing store and buy clothes. Now, I won't ever be skinny mini, I'm a big girl, I'm tall. But I want to be able to buy anything I want from New York & Company, or Express a regular store. Hell, I'd love to buy some cheap disposable clothes from Forever 21! ahah

Ok, so this is embarassing but...

1) be naked in front of my husband and not feel shy

2) be able to fully participate in intimate moments (sex) with hubby

3) to just not have to wear clothes to try to hide flab. I know I may need excess skin removed down the road to fully accomplish this

4) to go hiking again

Well I would love to:

1) Shop for clothes anywhere I want

2) Tie my shoes (with the bow in the middle...lol...)

3) Re take my picture for work (a skinny version)

4) wear a tankini

5) walk a marathon

6) wear a higher heel shoe

7) buy a really good pair or trendy jeans

This is a terrific post.... There are so many things that I want to do which I have never been able to or at least not for a very long time. Although mine are not so adventurous but maybe those will come after I acheive some of my others!

So here goes not in any particular order:

  1. Wear shorts again (without thighs rubbing or shorts riding up)
  2. Cross my legs
  3. Not feel winded after walking up stairs
  4. Have more energy
  5. Go on the roller coaster (or other amusement park rides) with my kids
  6. Have less back pain
  7. Feel more confidence
  8. Not be self concious with regard to being with my husband
  9. Not have my shirts be tight in the arms
  10. Not need the seatbelt extender when flying

There are more I'm sure but this was my initial list! I can also sympathize with the tying shoes and having the tie be in the middle.... that's a good one too!

Great topic!

1) Shop wherever I want for clothes

2) Wear heels without my feet blowing up like balloons

3) Stop hiding from cameras

4) Have more fun during, uh, "private time" with fiance blush.gif

5) Being able to wear lingerie for said private time and not wanting to hide in the bathroom

6) Finally feeling comfortable in my own skin

7) Walking up stairs without breathing like a rhinoceros

8) Tie shoes without holding my breath

9) Cross my legs properly

10) Actually have a hairstyle that looks cute instead of one that hides my fat face

11) Do a boudoir photo shoot for fiance

12) Rock my wedding dress!

My goal was always simple. I wanted to walk into Victoria Secrets and buy a matching bra and panty set once I hit goal. Well I'm at goal now and we dont have the extra money for me to do it. :(

One day I would love a Tummy Tuck and boob job!

Great Idea! I just love this post and I've gotten some super ideas, too! Here's my list:

The biggies:

1. Ride my horse more, and be able to get on without a mounting block.

2. Zip lining with my sister in Costa Rica.

3. Scuba diving - or at least snorkeling

4. Tropical vacation or cruise with DH.

Every day pleasures:

5. Shopping at the mall - and finding clothes that fit.

6. Fitting in a theater/plane seat

7. Being able to squat - and get back up

I'm being banded this Wednesday and I can hardly wait! Here is what my 'bucket list' looks like...

1. Sit in and fit into booths/chairs/roller coasters etc without fear of not being able to fit or breaking anything.

2. Being able to shop in any store and know that there will be something there for me to wear.

3. Shopping in stores like Victoria's sec./express/american eagle/gap with my friends and being able to enjoy trying on clothing along with them

4. Being able to cross my legs comfortably

5. Would love to be able to RUN and not feel like I'm going to die

6. Fit into old jewerly or special outfits that I've not been able to wear in years

7. Looking forward to feeling good in my skin again!

8. Wear clothing more appropriate for someone my age; esp skirts and shorts and not worry about the 'chub rub' (i heard it called that recently and had to laugh) in between my legs!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
