I checked something off my list this past weekend. I have lost enough weight that I could physically handle going to the fair in my home town and walking. Still haven't lost enough to ride rides but that is my goal for next year. I want to loose enough to get on rides with my kids!

There are soo many that I have..First of all would be shopping in the regular dept of stores no more plus size, being able to buy a shirt and it not have an X in the size, being comfortable in my own skin again, not feel bad when my hubby see's me naked. I just look forward to feeling like a 27 year old and not a 50 year old! good luck everyone!

Running in a Spartan Race with my sister, fitting into a sexy black dress for a night on the town with my man, throwing away my Spanx!! Wearing boots that fit my legs the right way, not having to shop in the Plus Size section at any store!! Enjoying the rest of my 20's healthy and fit!

Next summer, going to the amusement park and actually going on the rides

Not worrying about the seatbelt on an airplane

Ladypart thing, like you mentioned - lol

Shopping in the misses dept

Not opting for slip on shoes so I don't have to struggle tieing them

Hopefully, not taking BP meds anymore

Hopefully, ridding myself of sleep apnea

Not feeling so self conscious

Having more energy

Being able to wear knee high boots (these damned calves)

Being able to sit in a meeting at work and not look down just to see my belly all bunched up

Going out w/ friends at lunch and not having to take the front passenger seat as it is the most "spacious"

Not worrying about going to a concert and spilling over on the person next to me or worrying about going through the turnstyle getting into the show

Having more clothing options - that can include wearing horizontal stripes ( :rolleyes: )

Having more hairstyle options rather than just the ones that don't accentuate my round face

LOL - those are a "few" of the things I am looking forward to.

I like all of yours, and will add:

Being able to paint my own toenails

Cross my legs at the knee

Feel sexy again, for my husband

Sit on the floor and play with grand kids

Go horse back riding

Feel comfortable dancing at a party

Not being the fattest person in the room

The horseback riding is a good one too!

I went w/ my fiance and all our kids to the Smoky Mountains. We did a horseback outting too. I called ahead to see what the weight restriction was as I was afraid I would have to sit out as to not injure some poor horse. Much to my surprise, I was within the weight restriction. However, there was a caveat to it.... I had to ride "diablo" - YES, that was the horse's name. I swear it was a friggin Clydesdale. I had to get on a platform and then a chair so I could get on/off this horse. They gave me the biggest horse. I was so scared on the ride too going up and down hills on this giant! I guess, that is a good thing I would love to try again on a "normal" sized horse. :)

Just to name a few things...I'm looking forward to no longer shopping in the plus size stores/section, riding rides at amusement parks, crossing my legs, walking more than half a mile without my back hurting, and dancing through a whole song!

Not having to ask for a seat belt extention when I fly.

I have a lot of them ha ha. I'm 75 pounds down and have accomplished a few though. I took my 9 year old brother to Worlds of Fun and I could ride all the rides I wanted to expect the Patriot (probably another 30-40 pounds for that one!) I'm in college and I can fit in a desk without my stomach touching the desk part (I almost cried in class when I went this semester and could do that for the first time!).

I haven't flown since surgery so it will be interesting to see if I still need an extension. I'm going to Germany in May of next year so I'm sure I won't need it then! I'm in size 24 pants so I'm excited to get out of the 20's! I would love to wear belts!

Those are just a few! Good luck to everybody!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
