In 2011 I want to be able to cross my legs without effort! I want to be able to shop in any store, and everything fits! I want to feel healthy!

In 2011 I want to stop wondering if this surgery is going to work for me!

I agree on the Lane Bryant cc!

I want to buy boots.

In 2011 I want less back pain.

I also want to cross my legs without effort.

I want to fit in the roller coaster rides like I used too.

I don't want to have back pain anymore.

I want to wear heels!

I want to go dancing with my girlfriends without sweating.

Hope your surgery went fantastic! Mine is on the 29th!

Great topic!

For 2011 first I'd like to have my band fixed or removed and

plication done!

Then I'd like to make exercise a priority again.

I'd like to take a bath and not feel squished in the tub.

Crossing my legs with ease and bending down to be on the

floor with my 2 little ones are also on the top of my list.

I'd like to get back into my size 14s then 12s then 10s that

are sitting in boxes.

I'd like to feel comfortable in my own body again.

It's funny you ask this. This week, I posted a blog on this site of the Top 10 things I am looking forward to as the Fat Fades. Here it is:

TOP 10 LIST

10. Flying on a plane without a seatbelt extension or being horribly uncomfortable!

9. Buying matching bras and panties. It is really hard to find good supportive bras in my size that are pretty and have panties to match.

8. People to stop saying ”You are sooo pretty” with an unspoken “but” at the end. They really want to say: “You are so pretty, BUT if you would lose some weight you would be much prettier!”

7. Going to the doctor and not having to hear how if I don’t lose weight I will basically contract every disease known to man!

6. Buying a LBD (Little Black Dress). I have plenty of black dresses, but none of them are little.

5. Rock a short hair cut! I know people say hair adds pounds, but for me it is security. Once I am smaller, I would love to sport a jazzy short-do!

4. RUNNING! I don’t want to jog, walk briskly, or trot. I want to run! Feel the wind in my hair, sweat pouring down … RUN.

3. Shopping in the regular store! I honestly don’t mind plus-size fashion, but I just want to HAVE to shop in the Big Girl store.

2. LONG LIFE – I am only 36. I want to live to see my kids get married, my grandkids, and even my great-grandkids. If I die, I don’t want fat to be the foe.

1. Taking a family photo. This is a very emotional #1. My sons are 5 and 6. THEY take a lot of pictures, but WE have never taken a family photo because I refused to take one fat!. Every year, I vow to lose weight and of course it never happened, so my family has never taken pictures. I cannot wait for this day!

My Surgery is tentatively scheduled for March of this year. In 2011 I'd like to start seeing a change in my body shape that makes me look less like a tick (big body....tiny head).

1.) getting on wii fit and not hearing "your obese"

2.) going on a date and no having to worry if I am eating too much

3.) I want to learn how to rock wall climb

4.) not being to big friend

5.) buying clothes any where

And my final hope is to just love myself and be happy in my own skin! I want to hear "I never would have guessed you use to be big" I want to be called small when someone is explaining what I look like.

      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.
