Hey, what are you most looking forward to? (Other than being post-op...)

[JordanB 9]

I'm getting sleeved on 2/2 and am most looking forward to ---

1. Seeing my current clothes get waaaay too big.

2. NOT being ravenous for food 24/7 and cruising the fridge every night around this time.

3. Being able to "run" on a treadmill without being winded after 60 seconds...

Ok fellow Feb Sleevers... your turn...

Hi, I'm being sleeved on 21 January and I can't wait.

I'm looking forward to a much healthier and active life but in particular...

not hating seeing photos of myself;

fitting into plane seat belts and putting the tray top down;

not having foot pain and being able to walk on the beach every day again;

being active with my grandkids;

getting down or up off the floor without using the couch;

feeling better about myself;

walking into a normal dress shop;

travelling overseas and walking to see everything I wish too.

but really...there are too many to mention here

All the best with your surgery!!!

Also, it'll be nice to have and wear clothing that fits and looks right too. I am wondering though about my skin...I read somewhere that bariatric patients could take a particular supplement which would help reduce flabby skin...

I am thinking:

By next summer, I will be able to ride a go-kart with my kids. I was just barely able to ride last summer and I took up two seats.

I won't have to have anyone ask me how much longer until the baby is born.

My back won't throb constantly from all of this fat.

I will be able to wear my rings again.

There is so much more, but those are some that came to might right off the top of my head.

22 days to go, for me.

I'm getting sleeved on February 3.

I cannot wait to have the confidence to start dating again!!

I also cannot wait to wear jeans again. It's been about 5 months since I've worn a pail of jeans.

@Aliciad7391..It's been SO long since I've been on a date! I'm looking forward to it as well. It's interesting how gaining weight steals your life day by day, robs you of self esteem and undermines your desire to be social. Before I gained all this weight I was "hot"...and had my choice of dates... I remember it well... and am looking forward to finding that part of ME again. When I think about all this... I focus on that mental picture of ME at goal... and that's what keeps me going! I'm getting sleeved on 2/2 and will keep you in my prayers.

I'm being sleeved on Feb 9th. I'm looking forward to being heathy. I can't wait to hopefully stop some medications. I also can't wait to be able to paint my toes(I know it sounds trivial, but I haven't been able to for some time) I wanna start running and doing yoga. I can't wait to be healthy enough to have children! I can't wait to fit in a freakin bikini!!!! There's many more, but here's a few!

[Mikadivalia 30]

My Sleeve is scheduled for 2/12: I've been thinking about this question a lot since I started this process. I think I haven't realized how much my weight has affected my life. In the past couple of weeks, I've really noticed some things that I do or don't do that are weight related that I haven't really considered before. With that in mind...this is what I'm most looking forward to:

1)playing with my 3 girls unrestricted-including going to amusement parks and not just being a spectator.

2) when I walk into the dance studio while my daughter is practicing, I won't have to worry about seeing myself in a room full of mirrors--I purposely look only at my daughter and refuse to look in the mirrors-which is hard when they are floor to ceiling

3)Picking up a glamour magazine again and realize that I can use some of the tips and information in there

4)walking into a meeting and not worrying that that chair is not going to hold me

5)Going out to eat and worrying if we get a booth

6)Riding in an elevator without having the person in there glance at the weight limit

7)Ordering the same team shirts as the other dance moms

8)Auditioning for local theater and actually having a chance as a decent part

And then your typical be healthy, run, live longer....but mostly Hope.

I'm being sleeved on February 18th and I am looking forward to

- keeping up with my little kids

- not having 3x shirts be tight and having to tug them down all the time

- looking like a "normal" couple with my husband. He is 145lb and I'm 320. We look like an old fashioned nursery rhyme.

- buying new cute shoes as my feet shrink.
