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!
  

Being able to wipe my behind without complications and back pain.

I agree with that one!!!

Being able to wipe my behind without complications and back pain.

So I was drying off after my shower this morning and realized that drying certain hard to reach crevices is WAY easier then it was 2 months ago

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 221.6

Looking better

Feeling better

Enjoy hiking again

Travel with my husband

Fit on the back of his Harley

To not feel embarrassed or self conscious in public.

To have my husband be proud of me

To be more comfortable in the heat of summer and not DREAD it. And related to that - to be able to wear cool comfy summer things and enjoy beautiful weather. Maybe even fit in a bathing suit and go for a swim on a hot evening? THAT hasn't happened in literally YEARS!

And on then opposite end of the seasons - to button my coat and still be able to breathe. Maybe walk in a snowfall and not feel like I'm about to have a heart attack.

To live my life, not just endure it.

Well I've always had a huge butt even when smaller so ill still be knocking this off the table.lol

I am looking forward to:

using a regular-size bathroom stall in a public restroom.

Putting on my socks & shoes without issues

Getting out of bed without the flailing

Having energy not swollen legs after work run playing tagged with my boys without ditching them after the first 3 minutes being slimmer than my boyfriend fit on a booth and obviously fit on single digit sizes fit on rides and one of my biggest ones marry my love and the father of my boys walking down the aisle on a beautiful wedding dress that fits beautifully! And a ring that doesnt have to be sized!!

1. Play with my kids

2. Run my first 5k

3. Hit Onederland

4. To to amusement park and actually ride the rides!

5. Take a shower with my Hubby

6. Walk/ Rub the Boston Marathon in 2014 ( Boston Strong)

7. Be excited to shop

Lol well I can not wait to get there. Oh and I haven't seen my.lady in years

I heard that!!

I am already fantasizing about the "after surgery" sex with the hubby!

Looking forward to so so much but for starters...

Being able to wipe & reaching other vital areas to groom and maintain properly

Being able to shower without a shower chair because of 2 bulging discs in my back

Being able to shave my legs and it not half killing me twisting like a pretzel

Being able to get everything done in one shower (wash body/shave AND wash hair)

Being able to go from the couch & get into my bed without being out of breath

Being able to have clothes to wear not just pajamas

Being able to talk to someone after walking ANYWHERE

Being able to sit in a room full of people and NOT survey it to see if I am the biggest person in it

Being able to be comfortable because I'm constantly uncomfortable

Being able to be open with other people besides Doctors

Being able to wake up and move all day without constantly taking inventory of my aches and pains

Being able to say YES to everything (invites) because I can walk places and fit wherever..

I'm looking forward to:

BEING ABLE!!!

This is just the beginning for me...

I thought the same exact thing after my shower this morning. Shaving my legs is so much easier too. I will be at 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Looking forward to more new things to come.

I can't wait to have a standard size towel wrap around me with excess! I am tired of using/buying bath sheets.

Rollar coaster.

Water park rides.

tights or nylons NOT from Lane Giant.

anything BUT fragrances from Victoria Secret.

boots.

a belt.

i dream of a columbia jacket size “L"

wearing my husbands sweatshirt and having it too big

wearing a pair of stilettos and not looking like a beer keg on stilts.

Sorry but "Lane Giant" cracked me up so bad. I seriously never heard that before and I can't stop giggling.

Being able to wipe my butt without using the reach, hope and sweat method!

I'm trying to tell you...when I could no longer clean my back side without ease, I knew something had to be done. I would almost get muscle cramps in my back every time
