Can't wait to:

Not be winded by one flight of stairs

No longer trip on items left on the floor by my kids because I cannot see my feet

No longer nearly fall when descending stairs for same reason as above

Decreased back pain from ruptured disc

Get dressed to go out without tears and piles of clothing tossed onto floor of closet (to be tripped over later...)

Tie shoe laces without struggle

Kneel without feeling a crane would be nice in order to get back up

I have lost 50 /bs so far and right now I really look forward to being able to run and jump. They seem such simple things but It physically hurts to run and jump. My fat and my boobs make it really hard to do that. So i look forward to in the future after I have lost most the weight, trying for the breast reduction and Tummy Tuck.< /p>

At my heaviest, I wore a size 20. But I have always fluctuated between a 16-18. I realize I am not the largest person here but I have very similar goals and wishes.

I can't wait to not wear layers in the summer time, to be able to just wear a tank top and a skirt, to be able to get sexy underwear that matches, to not worry about being the biggest person at the gym, to not hide from pictures, to not walk past all the cute clothes and suits in the store for the dreaded "plus" or "women's" section, and to not feel invisible when I walk past a nice looking guy. I can't wait to have a doctors appointment and NOT have weight be an issue.

But most of all, I can not wait to go and buy that ever-elusive "little black dress" (which for now is not so little).

I can't wait to go to a clearance rack at Charlotte forever 21 express and pick up a medium and it's so cheap! Big clothes never go on sale or there are no big sizes left! Oh and heels too!

I can't wait to go shopping for clothes in the same stores as my normal weight friends. I will also enjoy being able to try on clothes and ask for their opinions instead of simply being the friend that sits outside the changing rooms to say "that looks good" to every outfit my friends model.

I also will be so excited to be able to go in a normal size bathroom stall without basically standing on the toilet to be able to close the door.

I will also will enjoy when I can order food and not have to worry about people thinking "she is going to eat ALL of that?" or "no wonder why she is so big"

I'm sure I will have many more to post later <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

All of this sounds like my story! Good luck to you!

Wow. 0.o

I seriously never had a complex like those. The only thing that comes to mind is me riding my motorcycle. Fat guy on a little bike. Other than that people dont bother me. They just hate on me cause I am a privileged character. Everyone hates on people who got.

In my experiences watching people' date=' people tend to trade off. Meaning once you fit in that car, amusement ride, motorbike, hollister clothes you start another complex like my skin sags, im wrinkly, and so on. Its in everyones best interest to keep what I am saying in mind to avoid this from happening to you.

Good luck on breaking the cycle[/quote']

What does that mean, a priviledged character?

Charlotte Russe is so cheap isnt it?! They have cheap shoes, and other cute stuff. Skinny stores always have great prices in comparison. I can't wait to spend $5 on a shirt. Man... Once I get small... I'm going to be feeling so whell, acting like my sh*t doesn't stink. Hehehehe. Just loving it. :) I even recently lowered my goal. I mean my major goal is still the same, but I would be happy with a size 8.

I second everything that was said...and, I can't wait to buy something sexy to wear for my husband. He is my rock. And has loved me and called me beautiful regardless of what size I was...he is my hero. I also can't wait to look great in our family photos. We haven't ever done any with all of us. Because of my weight gain I didn't want to be in them. So much to look forward to!

so sweet! And naughty!

I cant wait to try on a NORMAL wedding gown!

I can't wait to wear jeans and a white t-shirt again (my uniform), walk without pain in my knees and feet, go to the beach without feeling embarrassed and not being invisible. Oh, while there are no guarantees, I am looking forward to living a longer, healthier, happier life >3

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
