I live in Texas so I am looking forward to being out in the 100 degree heat without having a heat stroke....I have way too much insulation lol I used to be fine in the heat when I was younger...that means biking hiking swimming and taking my nephew to the zoo! I can't do that now for several reasons...

Here's my list............

1. Sit on an airplane - and trying to hide the fact by putting a jacket on my lap - so the flight attendant won't realize that the seatbelt isn't buckled.

2. Go play poker at various spots - I won't show myself at some of these places since, the last time they saw me, I was 80 lbs less.

3 Ride the zipline on Fremont Street in Las Vegas - weight limit is 230....I have a ways to go.

4. Not have to jiggle the booth away from me to make it so I can breathe!

5. Not having to go through my clothes every morning - struggling to find something that fits.

6. Driving by the grocery store - without thinking about stopping to get a "goodie" for the night.

7. Not having to maneuver into my truck so much - in order to "get comfortable."

8. Riding a bicycle - I would just be so embarrassed right now.

9. Going to the gym regularly - without being embarrassed.

10. And the biggest thing - breaking the cycle that was set by my Mother, my Grandmother, my Great Grandmother - I refuse to be the next generation of overweight women in my family. The buck stops here!

This is my favorite thread! I feel exactly the same way on just about everything you all listed. Here's my list:

  1. To feel attractive and to fall in love again (hopefully for good this time!) I avoid men like the plague because I can't imagine anyone falling in love with me looking like this.

  2. Get rid of ALL of my fat clothes!

  3. To wear my jewelry

  4. To walk with confidence

  5. To wear sun dresses and spaghetti strap tops!

  6. I want to be social and outgoing again

  7. To ride a motorcycle again

  8. I want to "turn heads" for the right reasons, not because I'm fat

  9. To prove my family wrong, that getting the VS is the right thing for me to do

  10. And last but not least, to make my son proud of me

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
