Thanks for starting this! My surgery is July 2nd and here are my ten things:

1. Wear all my old favourite clothes in little sizes. I have held on to them for ten years!

2. Have a long, leisurely soak in my RV-sized bath tub!

3. Go on a trail ride. I just couldn't do this to a horse right now!

4. Ride my bike on this special trail we have near my home....it's about three hours on an old rail bed, down-hill through a forest all the way but I don't have the stamina right now.

5. Buy roller skates and use them up and down my back alley!

6. Visit my family in England. The flight and walking around for all the sight-seeing overwhelms me right now--never mind having my family seeing me 100 pounds heavier than my last visit. :(

7. Have coffee and a good visit with a few ex-boyfriends who remain friends and stay in touch, and don't understand why I avoid them.

8. Order a pile of adorable dresses and cardigans from Modcloth and Anthropologie.

9. Wear my beautiful rings and bracelets again.

10. Buy lots of super-cool antique and vintage clothes, which don't seem to come in plus sizes!

I think I have many more, but that's a good start!

I am looking forward to lots of the things listed above, and will add paragliding, ziplining, and zorbing. There's an adventure sports enthusiast inside of me that wants out!

Love this. The comment about doing that to the horse made me laugh out loud!!! I wanted to do the indoor skydiving when I was in TN. The weight limit for women was 150 pounds. I hope one day I can get there.

1. To be able to walk more easily....improve my mobility!

2. To rock a black dress again, and a red one, and a blue one, and a purple one...you get the idea!

3. To wear my rings again...

4. To have my legs become one of my best features again instead of just hair & teeth

5. To try new things ...confidence & mobility to be able to

6. To go to the 'other' side of clothing stores again and be comfortable regardless of the size

7. To feel more comfortable in my own skin again...regardless of what Mr. scale says

8. To feel like the old & real me again...

9. To hopefully, lower my health risks (lots of bad health issues on both sides of my family) of many problems at my age

10. To have George Clooney, or Joe Manganiello (excuse my spelling), or Vince Vaughn, or John Cusack, or Russell Crowe, or Gerard Butler...fall madly in love with me, of course, and live happily ever after!!! LOL

This is a lot of fun to think about! Here are my ten:

1. Walk into a room and have my husband do a double take.

2. I want to be able to make my kiddo tired

3. I want to wear a dress and not look like a bell.

4. I want to have clothes that reflect my style and not what I coud find that would fit me.

5. To run in the many marathons in my state. They have a Zombie run that looks awesome!

6. To travel to other countries.

7. To not immediately notice that I am the biggest person in a room, or that people are talking about me.

8. To want to go out and do things, instead of thinking of them as chores.

9. To go out for a run

10. To be smaller than my husband and more confident in the bedroom :wub:

9) horseback riding on the beach

10) get to Onederland!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
