I have done the one thing I looked forward to and that was getting on my horse without the help of a step ladder or a tail gate........ But...... Now I'm ready to go dancing all night and not get tired. I love western dancing and was really good at it big and small. Being big limited me though and I want to get out there and have a good time again!

I look forward to visiting a restaraunt and asking for a booth instead of a table. I got in one of those booths once and got up and my belly picked the table up on the way out....lol. Also I look forward to shopping in the regular section of the mens clothing store since thinner dudes get the better clothes, big men get whatever they decide to make in size Tent...lol

I want to sleep in the bed with my husband and not on a recliner due to back pain.

I want to wear my wedding rings on the right finger.

I want to move around without my shirt getting caught on my fat a$$ so that I have to pull it down every 5 seconds.

I want to have sex without thinking about how my fat rolls are jiggling.

I want to wear high heels occasionally.

I want to go to reunions and enjoy seeing friends instead of just thinking about how big I am.

I want to stop adding to my health problems at every Dr visit.

I want to dance without thinking about what I look like.

I want to be comfortable in a regular bathroom stall instead of having to contort myself to wipe.

I want to hug my husband and have the lower part of our bodies actually touch.

I want to ride a horse without feeling sorry for the poor thing.

I want to fit into restaurant booths comfortably because it is pretty dang humiliating to be too fat to sit down to eat.

I want to get a massage without feeling sorry for the poor masseuse.

:-)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
