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!
  

Love this Thread.......I can't wait to....

Cross my legs comfortably!

Ride roller coasters again without the fear of not fitting!

Wear anything I want

Not be the biggest one in my family

Not feeling like an outcast

Not hear anymore fat jokes

Have a baby

Feel sexy lol

Live My Life

Crossing legs def!

When was your surgery? Mine was Dec 18.

Mine was dec. 20. Showers are fine, but I'm ready for a nice long soak. Hope you are healing nicely.

As fun as this topic is, I was kind of scared of it at first, but seeing as surgery is tomorrow... here I go!

I can't wait to...

Stop pretending I'm afraid or don't like things bc I don't feel comfortable or won't fit (roller coasters/ dancing/ planes)

Not be so winded when walking/ climbing/ hiking

Set a good, healthy example for my students

Find a man who loves me and not a boy who is okay being with me as long as no one really knows

Have a baby (one day

Not be embarrassed and feel like everyone is thinking "what is she doing here?" at "regular" clothing stores

Be as beautiful as my sis

Not sweat so much (hopefully- maybe it's just the genes lol)

Buy CHEAP, CUTE clothes

Be PROUD of my eating habits

LIKE to exercise

Travel, take a celebratory trip

Not have food as my hobby (what will be my hobby? lol)

Feel more comfortable in heels (is that possible?)

Cross my legs without holding my foot to pin them together *ugh*

Not worry about sliding into a booth, sitting in stadium chairs, etc.

Not knocking people out of the way when trying to squeeze through some where

Have better control and agility of my body

Feel better

Be normal

NEVER BE IN THIS STATE AGAIN!!!!

Good luck to us all

I am tearing up reading all these. Gosh it's so amazing to have so many "family" members going through this-

My list-

I can't wait to see my bones again- and feel them (my hips are there I know it!!!)

Feel pretty again

Walk proud and not schlumped over

Fit comfortably in a plane seat (if that's possible)

Go skydiving/parasailing

Let my husband see the fun healthy girl I am inside

Run/play/wrestle my boys for a long while and not short spurts.

Zumba w/out pain

Eat and not feel guilty or wonder where it's going to show up-

Worm- I have family in Pittsburgh and am from northern wv- love kennywood!

I. Will. Not. Fail.

Prayers for us all!

To be around my husbands friends/wives without feeling insecure about how i look or what their thinking of me

Be able to wear button fly jeans that make my ass look great-ha!

Not have my belly rub on my steering wheel.

Not living in fear of sitting in a lawn chair.

Not tying my shoelace on the side of my shoes and in the center like "normal" people.

To bras that come in more colors then white, black, and beige.

YES! That is what I'm looking forward to the most, cute and pretty lingerie!

My most embarrassing moment was breaking a lawn chair with my weight in front of a man that I've wanted to date for a few years now. I've never seen him again....

I also want to walk in a room where my body parts don't knock things onto the floor, lol.
