I'd like to be able to sleep without my beloved CPAP machine so I can go backpacking.

And be able to carry a heavy pack without losing my breath!

Ride all my favorite rides again!

My boobs getting smaller ( not to small tho)!

Jump on the trampoline with my kids!

Omgosh there is so much I can't wait to be able to do! 2 weeks out today and 19 lbs down.

Good luck to you all!

I have so many! I can't wait to:

-Shop at the regular-size stores

-Not have to wear pants and a sweater in the summer just to "cover" all my fat

-Not be worried about whether a chair is going to hold me

-go back to Cedar Point and ride all the coasters (The single most embarrassing moment of my life was when I couldn't get the seat belt to latch on the Millenium Force and had to get out of the ride and leave with hundreds of people watching me).

Best of luck to everyone! I can't wait to get these items checked off my WLS goal list.

So many things...

It will be incredible to be able to clothes shop anywhere I want. I hate being limited to such a small array of mostly ugly plus size clothes.

I really look forward to going to an amusement park with my hubby and not worrying that we won't fit on a ride. We have a great amusement park in our city but we've never been there together.

Looking forward to buying clothes that I actually like and fit well instead of what just fits me.

Not sweating

Actually wanting to get a family picture done with my boys and husband before they grow up.

Crossing my legs.

Enjoying sex like we used to before we had our sons!

Lots more but could go on for pages!!

So many things...

  • Of course, being able to wear all the clothes I have that no longer fit
  • Not having to wear a sweater/sleeved top year-round to cover my arms
  • Wearing a bathing suit in front of people, ideally one that isn't a grandma-style swimdress
  • Being able to hike with my dogs or walk around at a museum or festival without crippling back pain
  • Not feeling like I have to hold a throw pillow on my lap to cover my belly fat when I'm sitting on a couch or something in front of people
  • Being able to get up off the floor more easily; I like to sit on the floor!
  • Not worrying about breaking a chair or step stool
  • Not being flushed and sweaty all the freakin' time, and not constantly worrying that I smell because of it
  • Being able to start dancing again, whether it's taking a modern dance class or going swing dancing with my husband, or just goofing around with friends
  • Feeling like I can sit on my husband's lap or have him pick me up without hurting him
  • Feeling more attractive, maybe even... sexy?
  • Not panicking when I get a notification that someone has tagged me in a photo on Facebook
  • Being able to stop pretending that I don't want to join in on activities, when really I'm just too fat to keep up

I cant wait to shop at regular stores not stores with plus sizes only. Being able to chase my son when he runs and not feel tired. Being able to feel full. I haven't had that for a while.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
