Things I can't wait to do!



Recommended Posts

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!

OMG! This is exactly what I was thinking about. I have three sons, 16 yrs, 12yrs and 17months old. I have tons of pictures with my first and middle child, but I have not dared to take any with the baby. I avoid taking pictures with him becuse I dislike the way I look. Yet, i know that time is passing by and that he is growing up and i am missing out on creating memories with mommy on print.

AnywayS,

I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE PICTURES WITH MY KIDS AND HUSBAND

Go Lorip!

You will run a k5 some day. When you are comfortable walking fast, try the couch to 5k. It's awesome program. I always hating jogging and thought it was for other people but I did my first 5K on July 4th, less than 4 months after surgery. I ran the first 2 miles then walked/jogged the last one. There is a 5k (dress as your fav dead celebrity) on Oct 28th and I want to be able to jog the whole thing. Good luck too you!

I want to wear sexy Halloween costumes! Also I can't wait to Run a 5k.:D

Yep....this is totally me! I hate running into people from my past that knew me "back in the day". I also have no photos of me and my kids. The ones I do have, I would never ever post on facebook.

I also can't wait to wear jeans and and have no rolls that hang over the side....

I can't wait to not wear Spanx under my clothes.....

I can't wait to wear a bikini.... (I have never ever worn one!)

I can't wait to wear a tight fitting shirt with no rolls popping out everywhere...

And last but not least, I can't wait to shop at Lu Lu Lemon and all the other "cool" stores that have teeny tiny clothes

TMI, but I know some can relate to these:

I look forward to being able to easily wipe my butt :0/

I'd like to not get out of breath doing the simplest tasks, like putting socks on.

I can't wait to actually want to put more effort In my appearance and enjoy looking in the mirror.

I can't wait to have enough guts to actually go on a date.

I hate going to doctors offices, they are kind enough to offer "big" chairs but I don't wanna sit in them! Even the bariatric center I go to has the wide ass chairs. I need them right now but I soooo hate to use them.

Or any chair with arms....I hate that...not long before that won't happen again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting comfortable in a concert hall seat.

Shopping at regular stores, wearing regular jeans, not stretch jeans.

Wearing a dress and feeling great in it!

Not worrying if I will be able to fit in the rides at theme parks

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
