I want to be able to see my future grand babies come into my life and have a chance to roll around on the floor and play with them. :D I want my children to be proud of me again. I want my doctor to be proud of me, but most of all..... I want to be proud of me.

I want to go scuba diving (two words for you - WET SUIT!)

I want to go river rafting

I want to go up in a hot air balloon

I want to walk a half-marathon

I want to try on my wedding dress one last time, and then sell it on consignment because it's too big.

Things I'm enjoying so far:

I finally felt confident enough to join the at-work yoga class with my skinny coworkers

I'm enjoying my workouts, not dreading them

I can shop in regular stores

Life is GOOD!!

Mine will sound cheesy and shallow, but here goes:

I can't wait to take a picture with my son who is now 8 months old. So far, I've only been in a few pictures with him, shown only from the neck up. I've taken hundreds of pictures of him alone though :)

I can't wait to be able to update my Facebook picture with a RECENT picture of me, and not just my baby. LOL

I can't wait to have my SO sweat when other guys are checking me out.

I can't wait to *not* feel like getting my hair and nails done are a waste of time because I'm fat.

I can't wait to not have to worry that I will run into someone who knew me back when I was slim at the grocery store.

I can't wait to work out at the gym without worrying about feeling and looking fat.

Gosh, I can't wait to leave the house more! I've been practically hiding out in my house for the past year!

I cant wait to sit in a plastic or folding chair and not worry that it's going to break or sink deeply in to the grass and dirt.

I cant wait to stop second guessing myself about everything. This weight takes so much of my self confidence away sometimes.

I have some negatives and some positives ... I'll get the negatives out of the way first.

I can't wait for the day when I stop stressing about my fat, I want to stop pulling at my shirt trying to hide the rolls and wondering if certain clothes make me look ... fatter. I can't wait for negative thoughts about my weight to NOT be the first thing I think about when I wake up, on my mind all day and the last thing I think about when I go to bed.

Ok, the good stuff! I can't wait to have the energy to keep up with my brother and sister who are both very active and always doing fun things! I can't wait to feel good and I mean REALLY feel good! I look forward to feeling "successful" when I think about my health and weight. I can't wait to travel without worry and I really can't wait to see what's in store for me when I do loose the weight and have more energy! :)

I look forward to the possibility of not thinking about food or fat or dieting constantly. The freedom that will come from that means more to me than any of the other things that will come with it. This vicious cycle of losing and gaining has literally become torture.

      April Surgery
      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.
