What Are You Most Looking Forward To?



Recommended Posts

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???

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

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.

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

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 Who cares if they are 15 years out of date!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.

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!)

      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!
