I seriously thought I was the only one with the sweating issue. I am looking forward to being able to do my make up at home and not worry about sweating it off from the walk from my house to the car, which is only 20 feet.

Not avoiding looking at the reflection of my body.

Not sweating. I cannot say that enough.

Buying clothes from a section that is not plus size.

Being able to borrow my BFF's clothes.

I want to shop at American Eagle. And Pac Sun. And athleta. And Lululemon.

I want to be able to kayak with my daughters and have the energy to keep up with them! Feeling good about myself and being healthy again!

Being able to comfortably paint my toenails. Not shopping in the plus sizes. Comfortably sitting in the seat at the movies. Going on a roller coaster without fear of not fitting. Actually feeling beautiful when my boyfriend tells me I am. ♡

I'm looking forward to being more active with my kids: buying regular sized clothes: wearing a bathing suit and not shorts and a tee shirt: not being out of breath: shedding 2 chins keeping 1: smaller shoes size: Being healthy overall...

I am looking forward to just feeling better and not being in anymore pain when I walk. I am also looking forward to being able to spend time with my children and being able to keep up with there activities without being tired all the time.

Squat down and get back up without using hands.

I have another. This may seem strange but I look forward to smaller clothes not taking up so much space when packing. I feel like my clothes now are so big that they take up a lot of space in my overnight bag (or I just pack a lot lol).

I look forward to feeling pretty again. I have been thin all of my life. My emotional eating over the past 4 years has really packed on the lbs. I hope to get into my bikinis once again and to feel better health wise.

I'm looking forward to not having my size consume my every thought! In the past few years I've put on a lot of weight and at this point I feel like no matter what I'm doing or where I am, my mind tortures me with self doubt and worry about what everyone else is thinking about me. It's exhausting. Looking forward to putting that behind me and replacing those feelings with pride, ethusiasm and happiness!

And yeah...I'm also looking forward to dancing and being part of the action instead of watching the action!!

Well, this is more a "what I looked forward to that actually happened". I had looked forward to going to the beach in a non skirted swimsuit and feeling good and totally unselfconscious. That happened today! Yay me! Thanks to all of you and this forum for giving me a place to say this!

Going to hockey games next season and concerts at the Bridgestone arena where the seats are kind of small and when I get up to cheer or so the wave my thighs get scraped. #tngirl

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
