Love this thread! I can't add anything....YET. I get sleeved on Sept 14th and I am beyond excited. But here are the can't waits for me:

1. I can't wait to stop shopping in the Plus Size Dept.

2. I can't wait to wear more form fitting clothes. I hate the loose fit that is supposed to hide my fat!

3. I can't wait to shop for a bathing suit....and like it!

4. I can't wait to wear dresses and show off a little leg!

5. I can't wait to wear tank tops in the summer!!!

6. I can't wait to wear boots...the ones that don't have the extended calf.

7. I can't wait to be able to run up and down the steps at work instead of taking the elevator.

8. I can't wait to get a new hair style...another phase of my complete makeover!

9. I can't wait to get off my blood pressure medications.

10. I can't wait to stop snoring....my husband will be forever grateful too!

And finally....

11. I can't wait to shop for sexy undies and show them off to my husband!

These are just a few of my favorite can't waits.... It's almost here!!!

I CAN SOOOO RELATE SUSIEQ!!!!

After a bit less than seven months I have lost ... 43 kilos (95pounds) and reached my goal weight!

So yeah, my surgeon was quite amazed when he saw me last week for a check-up! I am pretty glad to be honest :) I even dared to go to the beach and actually be shirtless, this hadn't happen in years!

When you finally get rid of all the too big clothes cos in your mind you were still worried you would need them.... My yr is coming in November I finally took all of the way way too big clothes and gave them to a family that can fit them... And been trying to buy clothes that fit now.... it's a very humble amazing and beautiful experience.My weight came off faster then I ever expected... And the docs said I would only lose 80 pounds I think I far surpassed their and my own expectations.Not saying it was easy. It's still work..... ( def not the easy way out) But so very worth it to fit into clothes that to my eyes look tiny. Still gotta get my mind to catch up with what my eyes are seeing :) So proud of everyone here. And look at all the amazing things we have done.

Thank you thank you thank you for this thread and every single post on it!

I have my op in 3 days and was feeling anxious and hesitant and scared.After spending an hour or so reading through all these posts, I feel excited!

And you probably don't even realise how inspiring you all are, I can't wait to join you :)

And I cannot wait to post my own response to this question! yay!
