First, here are some I have already accomplished:

I can now cross my legs like a lady without any aid from my arms!

I do not have to ask for a seat belt extender on an airplane (as a matter of fact, last time there was some tail on the belt!)

Wear the same size as my bestie again ( I recently raided her closet)

Buy a bra from Victoria's Secret

Weigh less than 200lbs

FUTURE GOALS:

Come off my BP meds

Start dating again

Ride all the Rides at Cedar Point (my hometown)

Get rid of the Jello jiggle under my arms

Get rid of my Thunder Thighs

Become a Zumba instructor

Return my bestie's clothes and borrow from my sister!

I am sure there of more, probably some I haven't even thought of yet!

Good luck, everyone!

I want to wear jersey. I miss jersey.

I want to put on a very sexy 'jersey' outfit go out with the guy who dumped me today and make him suffer.

I didn't tell him I had the surgery. Oh he will suffer.

I want to flirt with him all night and allow him to think he's going to get some and after dinner....

Be like DEUCES.

Go to an amusement park with my boyfriend and not feel self-conscious about me weighing too much for a ride or not fitting.

I know how you feel. I used to have to get into the seat for "oversized people" at King's Dominion. Some rides I couldn't fit in. Some rides I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't breath and wait to get off. I had my surgery in May 2011 at 267 lbs. Today, Sept. 27th 2011 I weigh 210 +/-. I can ride anything I want.

On the other hand, I can't seem to eat hardly at all. Nowhere the 1cup of food we are supposed to be allowed. I think I lost a lot of weight too fast it feels like my body is in shock. I went to the Dr. yesterday and because I have been having this choking feeling everytime I eat, she had to draw Fluid out of my band. Now I'm scared I'll be able to eat too much. We'll see what happens.

Nicole, I hope you have fun at the amusement park. I'm 46 going on 18. And my daughter (9) and I get season passes every year.

To lose this awful double chin and buy a pair of sexy tall riding boots that will fit over my slimmer calfs.To regain the confidence I once had and buy a new exciting wardrobe that will show off a slimmer waist and a womanly shape instead of looking like a damned shapeless box all the time,

I want to get rid of my fat clothes to charity never to be seen or heard from again.I want to be able to wear a sexy halloween costume for a change and feel great doing it.I want to see others respect and flirt with me.For once in mylife I want o be seen as a powerful woman who is in control of herself instead of the one who hides in plain sight because of her weight

.

I want to be smaller than I was in high school.

I want to play!

- Get off my meds.

- Wear high heels again.

- Wear matching, sexy underwear again.

- Have the kind of sex I had with my husband before we were married. (I can think of some fun things to do with that wedge pillow my dr made me get!)

- Share the bathroom with my husband. Now I can go in when he's in the shower, but he's not allowed in when I'm naked.

- No seatbelt extenders.

- Being able to walk more than a block or two.

- Finally go on our honeymoon to the Italian Riveria.

- Snorkle and river raft without the fear of sinking. In a real bathing suite. Not short, black armor.

- Get a tattoo. In a secret place. And not hide it from my husband.

Skinty,

Smiling is contagious. I hear you on the dead weight.

'Do yo thang, girl.'

I know it hurts when men misbehave. I wish he WOULD, marry someone else. He would not be safe. His behind would have to go into the witness protection program. Ha

I am so glad I made this decision. I saw my family yesterday.

My sister said OMG your stomach is flat (its not but)...but its nice to know its getting smaller. I'm 8 days out, wow.

Either that or she was really high cause she smokes major reefa. lol

It's good to read other goals its so helpful.

@LB. I'm down with the snorkling and the white Water rafting. It will feel so good to go hiking again.

At goal I'm buying a white Suzuki motorcycle with matching outfit.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
