What are some of your goals?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious what some of your non scale goals are? Or if you have already had them??

Kind of silly, but I want to be able to do a cart wheel. Never in my life have I and I'm putting it on my to do list!! :)

Being able to squat down to put my shoes on without gasping for oxygen would be one of mine.

Roller coasters!! I want to ride roller coasters! I love them and miss them. And kayaking!! I am too heavy for even a two-person kayak. I want to go kayaking, I want to buy one and own it and love it as my very own. I want a trailer to carry my kayak and I want to trick it out with camping gear... Which reminds me oh yeah I'm too big for a sleeping bag, and nevermind one of those mummy bags.... SIGH!! So I want all that.

One of my friends who has recently been sleeved told me to make a list of my goals. Here are some of the things I cant wait to do....

1. Confidently wear a bathing suit in public...preferably a tankini.

2. Ride a go cart

3. Not have to turn sideways to pass thru the gate at the metro station

4. Wear a pair of low rise jeans

5. Wear a pair of high top uggs and have them come ALL the way up my legs.

6. Wake up without my feet aching.

7. Comfortably ride on a roller coaster with my husband.

8. Proudly post full body shots on Facebook and instagram instead of just face shots.

9. Wear a pair of denim shorts in the summer...I always wear capris because i hate my legs!

Hope this helps...

Not worry about not being able to fit on a roller coaster.

Sit on my husband's lap again.

Run and play with my daughter without getting winded.

Comfortably sit on a swing.

Hopefully one day I'll be comfortable enough in clothing to not be constantly adjusting/pulling/tugging at my clothes... it drives me mad!!! Also crossing my legs. I do the fat girl cross right now and its only comfortable for so long so I have to keep switching legs!

Not worry if the seatbelt on a roller coaster is going to fit

Shop in the non plus size section and have clothes fit great

I really wanted smaller feet that didn’t happen I didn’t lose bone length in them lol
The only things I really wanted to happen honestly was for some of my doctors to be right and that the hormones released that were stored in my fat cells did reverse the borderline cancer biopsies I was getting and not have to have treatment or end up having a hysterectomy if it went full blown cancer.
I also wanted my sleep apnoea gone and that did happen.
I never really had other goals just smaller and healthy goals met on them!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
