What Are You Most Looking Forward To?

Other than losing the weight after being banded I mean?

Like for me, I can't wait until it doesn't hurt my feet when I get out of the bed in the mornings.

And I can't wait to ride on a roller coaster and have the lap bar close the right way.

What about you???

    I want to have children. I imagine telling them that I dreamt about them and loved them before they were even born and did one of the hardest things I have ever had to do so that I could have them.

    I want to be able to wear a belt with my blouse inside my clothes, instead of hiding the fat wearing them on the outside.

Not need a seat belt extension on an airplane, feel comfortable in the seat, and cross my legs at the knee!

No 'X' in my shirt size!!

Right there with you :)

I want to go shopping in the normal section of a store instead of paying $3 extra for larger sides.

To my lower body lift, tummy tuck and breast lift on Thursday. I can't wait!

I can't wait to get into those Size 8 to 10 clothes in my storage closet. Who cares if they are 15 years out of date! I'll wear them anyway as a celebration and make my husband take me out in them. Maybe, people will think I'm retro, not just odd.

too many things to count, but just a few here....................... i want to be able to run , ride a horse, climb easily into our camper and boat, be healthy, wear cute clothes that fit, weigh between 125 and 140, like what i see in the mirror , etc.........

1) Not being self-conscious when going to town

2) Ride amusement rides with no worries about fitting into the seat

3) Take part in more boating activities (skiing, kneeboarding)

4) Go into any clothing shop and find something that will fit me.

5) Weighing less than my hubby

6) No more weight lectures from my primary doctors

7) Go on my next cruise and take part in the activities and possibly wear a bikini (this will depend on how my skin does after the weight loss)

I went to a seminar and someone who got lapband a few years ago and was now at a healthy weight was asked by someone at the seminar this very question...and after they gave their answer ... the person who asked the question (who was fairly obese) said (seriously said this) ... that they can't wait to trust a fart.

the guy who answered her question said "excuse me?" and she said even louder "to trust a fart, because I haven't been able to trust a fart in years because of all of this (waving her hands up and down her own body)".

I had to walk out of the room.

One of my top "looking forward to" items is NOT having to ride around Disney World on a scooter. I want to be able to walk the parks, just like everyone else.

(But I will miss the scooter's basket for carrying things!)

1. To be able to buy clothing from any store without shopping in the ugly or overpriced plus sections.

2. A lot more outdoor activities

3. Not feel embarrassed about what I look like
