I agree with all of you, specially the cutting out air supply while bending over... This is one of my biggest challenges right now. I look forward to:

- not have to wear darker makeup on my double chin to try and hide it

- be comfortable in flats too!! My feet end up all marked up at the end of the day.

- being able to pop out of my car, rather than wobble out

- being able to put my hair in a ponytail without worrying about my neck rolls being exposed

I'm excited about wearing clothes I purchased in the past saying I was going to loss the weight some day and that day is now.

Having the energy to GO exercise, be able to go horseback riding again, to have the desire to WANT to go clothes shopping, to be able to play with and enjoy any future grandchildren, most importantly...to just ENJOY life again. These things I look forward to along with many that have previously been posted.

I'm excited to soon be able to dance at any wedding reception with more energy.

I think all of mine have been listed, but it is always great to repeat.

When I lose weight I will be exited to.....

- cross my legs

- paint my toenails without turning blue

- get some cute brown leather boots (have been wanting some for quite a while)

- buy me some of those capri length workout pants - that are skin tight - that my friends wear

- shop at Anne Taylor Loft - we just got the store and I refuse to go in there because it will just tick me off right now, but my birthday is in June so expect my family to get me lots of gift cards ( haha ha - I am serious though)

And while I am losing this weight, I am looking forward to shopping at Goodwill - we have a great one - and finding smaller sizes and paying $3.99 for some jeans or pants. I think I will be ok on most of my tops for a bit.

And I am also exited that by losing all the weight - that starts coming off tomorrow - that I am lowering my chances at Heart Disease, Stroke, blood sugar issues, and the chances increase greatly that my Breast Cancer (I kicked its but in Jan 2013) will stay away forever.

Besides all the other things that everyone has stated, I can't wait to take a shower and be able to reach every where I want and need to without having to sit down afterwards for 15 minutes to catch my breath. I used to love showering, and for the last 30 pounds I dread it every day.

Hahaha I laughed so hard with this one because it's SO true.

Id like to add and this maybe be tmi, but being able to wipe my butt without pulling a muscle in a small stall!

I also look forward to walking without my thighs rubbing together.

Not being drenched in sweat while cleaning

And so so much more

I know a lot of people who were doing this or that they can finally get pregnant, or fit into a airplane seat, or paint your toenails. I'm doing this from my health so I can't wait to finally be off all these meds, they're getting gone I'm ready for them to be gone now. Most of all I'm getting so excited because I am so close to fulfilling my dream of adopting a child. And not just any child but it energetic lively lovely 12-year-old boy. I cannot wait to keep up with him.

Just step into a regular store and pick something off the regular rack and buy it.

Walk up the stairs without huffing and puffing, not having to ask for an airline seat belt extension, fitting into a restaurant booth comfortably, crossing my legs, divorcing Lane Bryant to name a few.

      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!!
