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.

"Lane Giant"

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
