Recommended Posts

As I sit here think about what I am looking forward to. The list is long but just to mention a few.

1. Wipe myself with out pain

2. Tie my shoes

3. To have my fairy tale wedding (I had City Hall Marriage) :confused5:

4. To keep up with my teenage age son and my grandkids.

for now short goals are important and I wish everyone gets there

Wow...so many things -

  • Putting on socks and shoes (and tie the shoes) with out feeling I've just had a major battle
  • Crossing my legs
  • Gardening and being able to get up and down/bend over
  • Not looking at stairs and worrying about having to stop 1/2 way up to let the burning in my legs fade
  • Not being so out of breath all the time
  • Sitting in a chair at 90 degrees without falling backwards because my stomach is in the way
  • Sitting in a movie or on an airplane and not having the side arms of the chair dig in
  • No seat belt extender on airplanes
  • Shaving my legs with ease
  • Giving myself a pedicure

Those are just a few off the top of my head

So many things that I want to do again....

I want to go horseriding with my daughter

I want to hop on the back of my sons motorbike and let him take me for a ride

I want to be able to go out on the Seadoo and watch my kids ski, rather than sit on the waters edge taking photos from afar

I want to take my kids to a theme park and enjoy the rides with them

I want to go on a holiday...anywhere

I want to wear sexy lingerie for my OH who has loved me unconditionally for 20yrs no matter how I look and feel

Most of all I want to be able to walk into my closet and have 'something' to wear, knowing I will look great

I want to be able to stop running and hiding when someone whips out a camera at an event. I have let so many uncaptured moments go by with my husband over the years because I hated the way I looked in photos. I used to love to take photos when I was younger. I want to feel that way again.

-Having more confidence and increased self-worth/esteem

-Knowing that almost everything in the store will complement my figure

-Feeling totally healthy

-Taking pictures from all angles and poses, not just the ones I look slimmer in (Hand on the hip, u know what I’m talking about lol)

-Fitting into my old jeans

-Superficial: Finding a rich man :tongue2:

sounds silly... but being able to shift myself around in the bed comfortable, now it seems like I wake everyone just trying to turn around... I am also looking forward to being able to lift myself up from the Water rafts at Aquatic this summer with ease instead of struggling and thinking how I am going to get off the ground without embarrassing myself.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
