I want to go walking with my family and not have to turn back after 15 minutes or gripe the whole time that my back hurts. And I want to cross my legs. It's been YEARS.

I actually have a list of things that are like a page long, but I will spare you and give you the major ones.

1. Get a short hair cut and know that my face is no too fat for short hair.

2. To plan vacations with out fearing the plane situation.

3. Go on rollercoasters.

4. Jog and play tennis.

5. Shop at Ann Taylor, banana republic, and express.

SOOO MANY THINGS!! But to be short, I can not wait to look in the mirror and not see the "fat girl" staring back at me. I can not wait to go shopping and like the outfits I try on and feel comfortable in them...to not feel like all the kids are staring at me when I go to my kids school..I can not wait to walk long distances and not feel like I am about to pass out...the list goes on and on :D

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and not have my back and joints hurting.

I also can't wait until I like my picture taken - we just got back from vacation and I want to delete all pics of me but I know that they will b a good reminder of where I was.

And i would love to shop in cutesy stores like forever 21 but i feel like a giant. I am 5'9 and a size 24/25 and can't imagine ever being small enough to be able to shop in one of those stores.

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!

I can't wait to go to a gathering with music and dance to more than one song before I get exhausted!

I can't wait to be able to buckle my car seatbelt without making a major effort to get the two parts to meet!

I can't wait to sit in a plastic outdoors chair without fear of it breaking.

I can't wait to go on more outings like plays & concerts without being worried if the seat will be too tight.

I can't wait to travel since I have never flown for fear of having to buy two seats!

"P I N K" cause my azz is so wide. LMAO

      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!
