To bea ble to go to the closet and know whatever I pick will look good and no more; I got to make sure that this is covered and that is not showing. I have not worn shorts or tanktops in ages.

Also my 3 girls will be proud of me and they will have a happy mom with a selfesteem through the roof.

4. Living with good health, and teaching my kids good eating habits!

Just to be the me I have inside of myself!!!

1. I want to live a long and happy life for my children. My children mean the world to me and I can't imagine leaving them earlier than I am supposed to due to this baggage I have carried around for a lifetime.

2. I want to feel and be healthy. My doctors always say that my number, points etc. are all perfect but I know personally, that I don't feel perfect.

3. I want to be more like the woman my husband married. When we dated I was about 40 lbs less than what I am now. I was a lot more fun to be with, a lot more sure of myself. Now I never want to hang out with our group of friends because I am totally ashamed of how I look.

4. I want to be able to get dressed up for a special occasion without ending up in tears. I also want to be able to put pantyhose on without ending up all sweaty and out of breath.

5. I want to be able to borrow clothes.

6. I want to be able to shop at any store.

7. I want to sleep without my arms falling asleep.

8. I want to be able to walk on my feet without giving them time to adjust to the weight they are about to carry all day.

9. I want to be able to wear shorts and sleeveless shirts without the side effects of chub rub.

10. I want to stop sweating all the time.

11. I want to stop trying to hide lumps and bumps.

12. I want my boobs to get smaller so that my back stops hurting.

13. I would like to be invited to a pool party without that sudden fear.

14. I would like to chase after my children and enjoy it.

16. I would like to buy a halloween cosume that will fit me.

17. I would like to fall in that catagory as one size fits all.

18. I want to look tidy, not messy.

19. I want to stop fearing the airplane seat.

20. I would like to jog.

22. I would like to wear boots that go up to my knee. They have never fit my calf before.

24. I would like to stop getting dressed in the closet when my husband is in the room. ( this one should be #3)

25. I would like to take my clothes off and not have an impression of them still an hour later.

I'm sure there are hundreds of other wishes but these have been on my mind most this year.

Words cannot explain how much I want this all to happen.

All of the above....except that I have to buy tall size clothes so it's easier to order them that to try to find them in stores.

Plus, I want to play basketball with my grandkids (I've asked for a hoop for mother's day) and I want to be able to set on the ground and work with my plants, and then be able to GET UP AGAIN!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
