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.

      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!!
