Things I can't wait to do!



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks from surgery and I am constantly thinking of things I want to do that I haven't been able to because of my weight. I'm sure this has been posted before, but for us newbies, lets keep track of the things we want to be able to do after we have lost our weight....

I want to...

Buy underwear & bras at Victorias Secret instead of Lane Bryant

I want to be able to buy my work scrubs and not pay the additional $3.00 per item for a larger size.

I also want to be able to fit my butt in an airline seat and not worry about if I even will fit.

And last but def not least, I can't wait to feel better!

My son is getting married next year in the fall and I can't wait to go shopping for my dress. I will be able to pick what I want to wear instead of taking a dress only because it is all that available in the plus size department.

I can't wait to feel confident in a swimming suit. Totally feeling the sexy panty thing too. Shopping in the regular section will be fabulous. I love the one about not having to pay the extra $ for plus size scrubs!!!! So many things we have been missing out on!

I can't wait until I am able to wear the t-shirts they give away at Kansas City Royals baseball games.

I can't wait to not feel sticky and sweaty the moment there is any humidity in the air, even if the temp is 70 degrees.

I can't wait to have the whole world selection of clothes - to find my style instead of putting up with what is least offensive in the big girl's section of the store.

To start - I would like to be able to bend over and easily tie my own shoes, slide easily into booths and tables with attached benches, and not fear airplane seats and be able to go on rides :) I would like to wear short sleeves and shorts again - I am too embarrased to nowadays. even around my own family.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
