My surgery is booked for August 4 and here are some things that I can't wait for or even imagine doing!

1. Crossing my legs

2. Putting on shoes/ runners without discomfort

3. Wrapping a normal towel around me and it fitting

4. Not wearing a seat belt extender on the plane

5. Not worrying about sitting on camping chairs

6. Not worrying about bumping into people

7. My knees not hurting when I walk

8. Loving walking my dogs it's dreadful now

9. Not being ashamed and wondering if people are talking about me

10. To love my body instead of hate it

11. A better relationship with food I currently hate food and what it does to me

Boy I can relate to most of those!! Have a Great Sunday!

I can relate to these as well!!

My surgery date is 6/19 and I have a few things I can't wait for either!

1- tucking my jeans in boots this winter!

2- buying clothes from any store I want!

3- weighing less then my husband!

4- skinny whoopie! (Lol)

5- going to my nieces wedding in January and buying a pretty dress I feel good in!

J Boyd 2014 -

You have sooooo much to look forward to. I never imagined meeting any of the goals you've listed but I have in less than 3 months. I was sleeved on March 19 and have lost 65 lbs so far. Hopefully that gives you a little sneak peak of what to expect. Best of luck to you on your journey! !

How about...

Painting my OWN toenails

Doing yard work all morning and having the energy to go out and do something fun later

Enjoying normal blood pressure, cholesterol and sugars, MED FREE

Trotting up 4 flights of stairs with my computer backpack on every morning instead of waiting for the elevator

Having my butt and my purse both fit in the movie theater seat together

Ohhh boy I forgot about a lot of those things. Today I bent over to pick something up and it was awful. I'm looking forward to easily doing so after the surgery!!

How about

* Fitting comfortably in my bath tub.

* Being at a BMI that I would be eligible to adopt from China or other countries that have weight restrictions if we want to.

Plus many that you all listed above.

I had my surgery on 5/21 doing great thank GOD!! down one jean size already it's only been 3 wks watch out size 7 I'm coming!!!

In addition to all those fabulous things, I am looking forward to not getting squeezed when I sit in booths in a restaurant. (And not having my boobs sitting on the table in front of me! That'd be nice. I'm tired of the three of us having lunch together!)

And for the arm rest in my car to go all the way down.

And to wear something besides black stretchy shorts and Just My Size tee shirts in the summer. Most boring summer wardrobe EVER!

Also, I want to get into my husband's pants. Like, literally. I've never been small enough to borrow his clothes, and I SO want to!

Congratulations on you date and the day that will be a new beginning. Follow your Doctors order and the plan, it does work! Try not to sweat the stalls, they are normal. There will be lots of firsts and things to look forward to! Enjoy the journey and the milestones! This will change your life in so many ways!

I was sleeved in September of 2013 (my new life birthday). I don't regret having the surgery for a second. I'm down 116 pounds and 22 pounds from goal weight. I love the fact that I got to cancel the Lane Bryant/Roamans credit card. I can buy clothes anywhere! I cried in Kohls when a large fit me! The space between and table had me in tears also. The icing on the cake has been in the last 2 weeks. I have had 2 people that I have known for over 10 years walk past me and didn't know who I was until I spoke!

Best of luck to you and a speedy recovery! Use this sight, it has a wealth of knowledge and SUPPORT!

So any advice my weight is s-l-o-w-i-n-g down!! I just wondering what advice you may have because seems as if your doing wonderful!! Thx!

i look forward to NOT being asked by my clients "When are you due"? (and having to tell them, 'i'm just fat')...

I'm SO looking forward to doing things with my kids, and taking a much-delayed family vacation where I can do more than just watch.

OH HOW I relate to all of the above, I cannot wait either. I had surgery on may 13th and I now when walking somewhere I will tell myself Im not that fat person anymore, I do have about 98pd to lose but I have to change my head thinking now,not later.

Mine is slowing also. They say the last 20 are the hardest! I use an app called My Fitness Pal. It helps you keep track of calories, protein, exercise, calories burned, carbs,and Water intake. I normally drink between 8-10 8oz servings of water or unsweetened tea a day! I keep my protein between 80-100+ grams a day. I use my home gym about 3 times a week and ride my stationary recumbent bike at least 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes and at least twice a week for 45 minutes. I got my boys to move my bike upstairs in the family room. I DVR the shows I love and ride while watching those(times fly). My food for todayBreakfast- Dannon Lite & Fit Greek yogurt (80 calories, 12 grams protein) mixed with protein powder(140 calories, 30 grams protein),Lunch- grilled cheese burger , no bun (435 calories, 28 grams protein)Dinner- meatloaf (167 calories, 8.8 grams protein) few bites of mashed potatoes and green beansSnacks- reduced fat colby- jack cheese stick (60 calories, 5 grams protein) and low fat cottage cheese (90 calories, 10 grams protein)That puts me at 1002 calories for the day, 94 protein, 630 calories burned from bike and cleaning, so my net calories for the day are 372.Normally once a week (Friday or Saturday is treat day). I will normally have 2 nutter butter Cookies. Occasionally chocolate cookie. Whipped cream on strawberries. I have found that anything with a lot sugar in it is just gross tasting. I highly recommend my fitness pal. It lets you see ever thing and helps me make better food choices.Best of luck
