Im starting a thread on things you cant wait to do/accomplish after surgery..

I can't wait...

• for that moment where I don't have to use a beach towel after a shower!
  
• till I can ride my bike with my daughter without my tire going flat the moment I hop on the bike!
  
• to give my daughters a bath with out running out of breath!
  
• till I can take my boyfriend out on a date to his favorite place Six Flags without being in fear that the security lock on the roller coaster wont fit me or I wont fit in the seat period!
  
• till I can play hide n seek with my daughter and be able to run without feeling like I'm about to collapse!
  
• till food is no longer something I seek for comfort yet only for necesity because my body needs nutrients not because my emotions need to be fed!
  

Have sex standing up. I had surgery 5(almost 6 months ago) I haven't been able to try this yet. Need a few more pounds to go.

I am less than 3 weeks post-op but i have lots of things i'm looking forward to:

-being able to buy/wear boots that'll fit over my calves

-flying and not having to get a seatbelt extender

-hike with my friends without wanting to die

-wear shorts for the first time in ???

-shop in a store that isn't just for big girls

-go to an amusement park and ride a roller coaster and not being afraid i won't fit and being miserable standing on my feet all day.

-buying a bra at Victoria Secret!

Important things to remember on a day when i am missing friends, family and food.

I am looking forward to:

*Not being smushed in diner booths

*Being able to walk into any store and not have to worry if they carry my size

*Do Zumba again

*Get out of my knee brace for the first time in 2 years

*Be able to buy boots that fit over my calves

I want people not to assume anymore the fat girl is tired and needs to eat. (Yes this happens)

I want to not fear eating in public and enjoy the meal and conversation

I want to not panic a month before and event about what I am going to wear or try to find something in my size that is not hideous or 100 a piece for crap clothes (LB you suck).

Ok I feel better now lol. :-)

[*]the seat belt extender is also another thing I'm looking forward to

[*]not having to put my seat all the way back in my car to make room for myself

[*]not having arthritis pain in my knees or feet

[*]be able to walk into clothing stores my friends go into and not be looked at like in crazy
