Oh boy, you guys mentioned most of mine. I especially love the "lady part" one!

Being healthy.

I would like to buy clothes from L.L.Bean, etc. Any catalog.

Look forward to not jiggling.

Walking down the aisle of an airplane without my hips hitting people upside the head.

Sitting in a booth at a restaurant

Making my Doctors happy.

Achieving an actual goal.

Buying concert tee's from a catalog.

Believe it or not, shopping at Goodwill, finding deals on clothes that fit.

Standing straight with my feet touching each other w/out falling over.

Fitting comfortably through public restroom stall doors.

Riding a bicycle.

Walking my dog, who at 25 lbs, walks me!

Not propping up, lifting and shifting in the shower

Having my nippies pointing out not down.

Weighing less than someone else for once.

Sitting in those folding camping chairs.

Not trampling people at shows to get to my row seat.

Fitting in that seat w/out my hips invading someone else's space.

Weighing less than my husband.

Gaining control of my Life.

Last, and most important...making my Mom (RIP) proud.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother, my condolences.

Yeah, my Mom always told me I was fat when I was skinny. She was really hung up on me being fat. She passed last year while in Hospice of Breast Cancer. And before she slipped away, I promised her I would make her proud. And I think she's proud that I've come this far...

I bet you have all made your passed loved ones so proud! Some of the things I am excited for are to be able to shop in regular stores at the mall (instead of resorting to the clearance rack from Walmart), looking smokin' on my 5th annerversary this April- ( I get banded in early October... I *think* he bought a ring!) too see my lady parts, paint my toenails, wear my hear certain ways that right now don't flatter my face, stop getting bumps on my inner thighs from them rubbing together, be active, have more energy, man... I could go on forever!

      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... :(
