What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?



Recommended Posts

Fun topic and I hope you don't mind a Vet chiming in.

I have become and avid kayak-er since losing weight and my next venture is inside skydiving....and maybe just maybe some day an actual plunge from a Plane. If President Bush can do it at 90 than why not me?

My long term reward for goal that I set back in 2011 was a week at Disney World. That is now booked for December 6th through 13th of this year.

Goals and rewards are excellent motivators and you know what else? We're all worth it!!

One of my goals is kayaking!! I can wait!:)

To not be embarrassed all the freaking time.

To not spend half my time in public worrying about getting up from the chair/couch/floor without making a scene.

To shop in "regular stores"

To take the stairs and not feel like I'm going to pass out after a single flight.

To fly without a seatbelt extender.

To save a ton on groceries and eating out (and put that towards new clothes ????)

To be happier!

I can't wait to put something other than a headshot as my Facebook profile photo.

I can't wait to take up just one seat on the bus.

I can't wait to go off my blood pressure medication.

I can't wait to be excited about my upcoming clinicals instead of nervous about whether or not I have the physical stamina to keep up with my classmates.

I can't wait to do yoga and fit in the poses again and actually have a body that can twist and bend without discomfort and do sun salutations without getting exhausted. Maybe I'll even become one of those people with a full-body yoga pose Facebook photo!

I can't wait to get to a 30# loss. Why? Because I've never lost 30# in my life. The best I've ever done is 20-something. Usually I don't focus overmuch on numbers of lbs, but that one is a mental milestone for me. And I've lost 14 so far, so I'm almost halfway there even before surgery.

1. I can't wait to actually run around and play with my little boy.

2. Maybe have another baby (god willing).

3. Fit in plane seats better or in a restaurant booth.

4. Dress better.

5. Just live.

Oh my goodness j16 you mentioned something that I hadn't even thought of. For the past 2 years even shopping for shoes gives me major anxiety! My feet are always so swollen and it is hard to find shoes that will even fit! I am looking forward to a normal pair of shoes!!

Jeans. Hot, sexy blue jeans that look damn good!

Putting on a wetsuit without struggling or hiding in another room.

Being more graceful in general. Nimble, flexible.

Running again. And being able to lift my own body weight. Like the badass, strong woman I am inside!

Some things I'm looking forward to:

  • Being able to find clothes at local stores instead of having to order online.
  • Not feeling like someone is stabbing my knees when I try to walk upstairs.
  • Being able to sit on my husband's lap without worrying that I'll crush him. (He swears I won't but I'm terrified anyway).
  • Horseback riding.

Ride my bicycle to work. It is only 5.2 miles one way but it really is uphill both ways. Downhill to the river, uphill to the office. Downhill to the river, uphill home. As crazy as it sounds, I've always wanted to do a one handed push up and do a push up so fast that I can clap before putting my hands back down.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
