I was just wondering if there are any emotional NSVs that anyone is looking forward to.

I am looking forward to not feeling ashamed when I run into someone I haven't seen in a long time or meeting new people. I'm also looking forward to feeling comfortable just sitting on a bench.

Anyone else have an emotional NSV they've experienced or hope to experience?

Little black dress

Key word here being 'little'. Can't wait! Lol

As someone who has gone thru this butterfly transformation. From 340 to maintaining 155 lbs... my confidence is thru the roof. My body was going thru all these changes and it has taken a long time for my mind to catch up. Good luck to you all... I think you are all beautiful just the way you are but just wait... It is going to get sooooo much better!!!

So it really will happen? My surgery is Thursday, May 16th. I am currently at 265, I can hardly wait to be 155. I don't think I have weighed that since birth!! Lol

My baby sister is getting married in October. I am her Matron of honor. I want to feel confident and look beautiful standing next to her and her Maid of Honor. (They are a size 6 and a size 4 respectively.)

I am with an amazing man who wants to marry me, sometime in the near future, I have not meet the majority of his family, just a couple and when I do meet them,I want to feel good about myself and be liked our disliked :-) for ME, not my weight. He says it doesn't mater, but it does to me! I wasn't him to feel good when he walks in with me by his side. I also want my daughter to feel good when I go to her events and not be embarrassed, she is a teenager after all. Good Luck All :-)

Surgery date May 14th 2013

It will happen. I started out 256 and 11 months later I weigh 142. Just follow docs orders and remember when you stall on the scale you lose the most inches!! Good luck!!

These may be crazy, but two things I am REALLY looking forward to are 1- having collarbones, and 2- wearing belts!!!

Still seems so far away. I have a 6 month pre-op 'medically supervised weight loss' for the insurance. 2 down, 4 to go lol.

It is funny you mention having collar bones - I made a comment to my mom yesterday that it was strange to have collarbones. It felt weird!
