Whats On Your Bucket List?



Recommended Posts

1. Be able to keep up with my three year old and 9 month old without getting exhausted

2. Attend my husband's residency graduation (total 6 year surgical residency) next year in a rockin' dress

3. Have less foot and back pain

4. Enjoy our yearly trips to Thailand to visit family and not be obsessing at how I almost weigh as much as three small Thai girls! Also, to not feel so squished in my plane seat cause that's a long plane ride

5. Have my husband be as attracted to me as he used to be (he's loved me no matter what, though)

6. Enjoy all the beautiful beaches we vacation at without covering everything up

7. Get outside more - it's So-Cal for goodness sakes!

8. Raise my children without all the junk around I used to eat. I don't want to set them up to be obese too!

9. Travel, travel, travel! So many places to go, there's no time to be fat.

10. Shop, shop, shop! I used to love shopping for clothes and will again!

11. Wear my beautiful wedding ring - currently can't - sausage fingers : )

I just noticed your surgery is tomorrow! That is great!

oh.. another of my bucket list items would be...

to be able to travel and go to other countries without the natives automatically assuming that i'm an american, just because i'm fat.. >.<

when i was at a restaurant in asia there was this teenaged girl whose family owned the restaurant that i was eating in.. i heard the girl go "oh! an american.. do i say hi or hello?" lol which that's fine and all, but she said that just by looking at me, not because i was being obvious about my nationality or wearing anything with a flag on it or whatever.. the only tell tale sign was that i am fat... >.> so i'm looking forward for that change. lol when people don't know if i'm russian, german, english, canadian, south african, french or whatever... xD

Oh and I've been putting off my wedding for SEVEN years waiting until I am thin enough to fit in Elizabeth Taylor's Taming of the Shrew wedding dress without looking like a dumpling!!!

Dorrie- You are right- I previously posted an ad neaseum list but when it comes down to it - being alive to actually BE a grandma (God willing) and being healthy and fit to enjoy this wonderful time in life would be the greatest thing of all! (Right now I'm dealing with 2 teenage girls-17&18- ohhh the grey hairs! My mantra, "This too shall pass!" thanks for making me think!

      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! 😞
