I love reading these- especially all the DONEs. And of course many of them reminded me of other goals of mine!

Today- a verrrry short term goal? To have my doctor put me on mushes or at least add cottage cheese, non thinned yogurt, and sugar free pudding to my thin liquids!

I love reading everyones goals, it's great to see most goals are accomplished or close to it. I had one real goal to cross my legs like a lady. It seems so silly but I would dream of being able to cross my legs, I would imagine how good it would feel to be able to do it. I would even watch other people crossing their legs like I'm some kind of stalker. A few months ago I was able to cross my legs and I sit like that all the time. I know I sound odd. Anyway my next goal not as weird is to be under 200 pounds which is 5 pounds away.

One of the things that I have always want to do is swing dance but have been too self consious. That is one of my goals I want to swing dance with my husband and for him to be able to throw me around like a rag doll LOL. And lets not forget one of those retro dresses that are so freaking cute from that era as well without it looking like a tent.

Another is to see someone I have known who hasnt seen me in a while and for them to NOT recognize me. Doesnt matter who. :D

I have an Amazing show horse! I have been showing him in driving instead of riding because I have gained so much weight. My expensive show suit will not fit and I feel too heavy to be on his back very often but he can pull lots of weight in the cart with no problem. I want to show him under saddle again and not feel self conscious at the horse shows with all the pretty, thin riders. A 50 pound loss will make this possible for me! I can not wait. Some jaws are going to drop next year when we trot into the ring under saddle again!

when I joined my TOPS group they had a scale that only went up to 300 pounds, and I weight like 380, so my biggest goal is to be able to weigh on that scale!

I've been skinny and I've been fat and skinny is better!!! I have many goals, but two really important ones to me are:

1) Do the zipline in Branson, MO.

2) Sit on the floor to play with my great-grandson and be able to get up without making a spectacle of myself.

I really really love these posts... they feel so hopeful and full of promise.....

But I have to say that sometime they are also a little bit sad.

Some of these goals are doable regardless of weight! I want all of us to be healthy.... but don't wait for the scale to tell you what you can and can't do!!!

pcos_chick, you are soooooo right!

My weight has effected me all my teenage and adult years; regardless of how heavy I have been it has always been TOO heavy! Even when I was 140lb! I know this is a psychological thing for me... and I am working on it and hoping that I am making some progress... I have to say, some days are better than others, but in general it is better now!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
