It's the night before my surgery and I am feeling like it is the start of my fresh new opportunity. I get banded tomorrow and have a wish list;

• climb the stairs and not be winded
  
• sit on the airplane and not worry about the seatbelt or how tight the seats are
  
• buy clothes wherever I want to
  
• actually WANT to excercise
  
• sit on an old chair and not worry it might break
  
• feel sexy again
  
• wear high heals (my feet may hurt but it won't be because of my weight it will be because they look soooo good!)
  
• buy a pair of jeans
  
• FEEL HEALTHY!
  

:D :D

I love it! Those are on mine too. Throw away elastic waited clothes! Ride a roller coaster! Wear makeup without sweating it off the first hour.

There are sooo many! Good luck tomorrow. 12 hours to go before banding. Yay for the May 24ers! Hehe!

Way to go! You got this.

I agree with all you said... I will add: go zip-lining, resume riding a motorcycle (have my license but haven't ridden in years), go swimming at a beach/pool (I have been too embarrassed to do so for a long time).

Good luck... and I hope you BOTH are recovering well from your surgery and that everything went well

Thanks! Recovery is going well. The gas pains in the shoulders a d neck are the worst. Today was the first day I haven't been as nauseated. It hurts to swallow but I have been trying to get some liquids in. I think the pain is caused by the hernia repair. All and all it is going great. I still can't believe it is actually happening. I have been dreaming about it for a long time. Oh, and I am down 4lbs since surgery! I hope all the other May bandsters are doing great.

I hope everyone is recovering well. Today is my first day I feel almost 100%. I did a lot of walking yesterday and finally defeated the annoying gas pains. I cleaned house today and started cleaning out my clothes. Goodbye fat clothes! I usually store them, but this time I am not going back! It is time to pull out some of the smaller clothes I have. I have so many different wardrobes. I'm guessing most of you guys do to if you are a yo-yo dieter like me. Hey I guess it beats having to buy clothes when do don't plan on staying that size long. Hope everyone is doing great! Oh I found a site mybariatricpantry.com great food and super fast delivery. I got my vitamins, some yogurt, oatmeal and soups. Just the stuff I need. All high proteins.

All your wishes are possible. Just go for it! Best wishes!

Awesome list

Your post is me to a "T"! I have clothes sizse 8 to 20. My poor husband gets very little of our rather large closet! Like you, I am NOT going to keep my fat clothes this time. I've been upset in the past when I got rid of fat clothes, then when I got fat again I had to go buy clothes. I know it is very possible to gain the weight back with the LB, but I just can't let it happen! Good luck to you!

My list is simple....I just want to be able to shop at JCrew again.
