Getting off meds. Doing anything active with my family .... kiddos love to go on bike rides, hubby wants to go kyaking, and I'd love to go for a jog with my oldest. Losing the pudgy look. Wearing dresses again. I wear shorts, go swimming, and take pictures with my family now, tho I know I look overweight ... I'm actually surprised each time I see myself in pictures because I do not feel like I look ... so I'm looking forward to looking the way I feel. I got over a lot of self esteem issues in the last two years. Learned to love who I am, as I am. I think this will help tremendously after I have wls. Can't wait!

Not feeling awkward on a plane because I am spilling into the other seat.

Riding the rides as Carowinds and the beach with my kids and not being scared that the seat belt won't fit!

Shopping in "normal" size clothing stores.

I'm looking forward to:

Getting more active with my one year old son! ????❤️

Being the REAL me by shopping and buying clothes that I've always dreamed of wearing!

Having my fiancé tell me I'm sexy and feeling good about myself when I look in the mirror.

Trying new things like yoga, hiking (longer distances), etc.

Having people stop in their tracks and stare bc I'm so beautiful lol (hoping, anyway lol)

????

What's amazing is that I can shop in my own closet again. I am wearing things that have not fit me in 8 years. It is truely amazing, even when I stall I am seeing a difference.

Love this topic!!

Ok here's my list...

-SHOPPING IN NORMAL SHOPS!

-Sitting comfortably without needing to hide my tummy.

-Sitting in chairs with armrests and not watching the fat spill out from the sides.

-Not being breathless when I do any kind of physical activity.

-Taking full body pics instead of face selfies.

-Walking down the beach in my bikini.

-No double chin!

A bikini for the first time in my life, dainty ankles and wrists, my cheek bones prominent (have high ones in my bloodline but mine have always been hidden), clavicles defined, smaller fingers, flying comfortably and being able to sit at a table in a restaurant (I usually insist on a booth before) without being paranoid everyone is staring and judging.

I just wore a bathing suit today for the first time In twenty years. It was a tankini. I looked cute I think, even if it's middle aged lady cute.

I can't wait to take a family picture (me included) and frame it on the wall or send it in a Christmas card!

Buy cute clothes again.

Be active with my kids and neighborhood social opportunities.

Take a nice beachy vacation with hubby and feel sexy.

20 yr high school reunion!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
