Looking Forward To . . .



Recommended Posts

Here's some things I'm looking forward to after surgery. Please add yours too!

  • Buying clothes that don't have an X or W in the size
  • Not stressing about seatbelts on airplanes
  • Crossing my legs!!
  • Buying cute bras and matching panties
  • Not struggling to get socks and undies on
  • Working out at gym like i used to
  • Participating in 5K (or more) again
  • Not huffing and puffing from car to work
  • Seeing my neck again
  • Painting my own toenails (well I do like a good pedi but to have the option to do it myself would be nice)
  • No longer unintentionally knocking things off the table, etc. with my butt
  • Feeling good!

carry my youngest grandchild more than a couple of feet without having to put him down.

taking a nice long walk and enjoying it

have motivation to paint again

accept more invitations to things instead of being such a homebody.

I love it! LOL

All of the above ladies, plus the not getting overlooked at an interview even though I have better credentials.

Whoohoooo. I did not really comprehend how far I've come until I realized I have or can do almost everything on the above lists, except cute bras and panties and the 5 K run! Wow. I remember posting on what I wanted on a post just like this, wondering at the time if it would ever happen! Here it is 5 months later and just wow! I should go find they list and see how I'm doing.

I look forward to being able to carry my daughter without my ankles giving out. She has CP and cannot walk. I have fallen with her in my arms 3 times due to my ankles or a knee giving out. Thankfully she has never been hurt. She is only 34lbs and I worry about what I will do when she gets older and heavier.

And all of the above that everyone else wrote.

Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!!

"Oh and not looking weird in lingerie with thigh high hose!!! "

for the record - even the tiny girls look like sausages stuffed into thigh highs - the secret is getting a large enough size - they sell those at Torrid and I’ve been known to put a size 6 in a 2x torrid thigh high.

I agree but I got a big booty naturally so that won't change. I wanna add getting on roller coasters..... and I just don't like having huge arms and a big belly.

      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!!

      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?
