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

1- Go places without being embarrassed...I'm so self conscious

2- Inspire my daughter

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.

Some fun while we wait for our turn? Why not!? ;)

Complete the sentence! What are you excited to finally be able to do or redo?

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
