What are you looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

When things are rough, and we have bad days, I want to have reminders of what I am working for. This is a shallow thing but I bought myself a cute outfit in my goal size today. Had my surgery monday, and I know it will be a long time until I fit in it, but I am sure before long I will be able to put it on and say, "I did it" and (holy s#!t, I can't believe I can wear this)

I know the pounds will go away and there will be many other non scale victories that will happen along the way. What things are getting you through the hard days?

I bought some PJs around Christmas in the biggest size they had and that is my first goal. They are Wonder Woman with a cape!! They are a size 16. I have not been in a 16 since I was a freshman in Highschool.

Most immaediately, I'm looking forward to the end of the pre-op required testing phase of this journey. Second appointment with my surgeon is on Tuesday.

Postop, I'm looking forward to wearing a white shirt or tee without feeling like a headlamp!

I am looking forward to the day I can take a picture and not crop my body out before I post it on social media. ???? For the past five years I've only posted head shots of myself.

Oh man, so many things....

  • wearing riding boots. I carry most of my weight in my legs and have never found boots that will zip. I cannot wait to wear a pair!
  • wearing skinny jeans - see above. I've never found a pair that looked good or fit me right.
  • getting outside with my kids this summer and running, hiking, doing gymnastics. My daughter is a gymnast and i can still manage cartwheels and handstands. So fun :)
  • Being able to wear tank tops and possibly shorts without feeling horrible?! I know I will have loose skin, but I will take it.
  • Going zip lining. I've always exceeded the weight limit, lol.

I have been to heavy to horse back ride - literally too heavy for the horses ????. It's something I want to do with my kids.

Also bike riding with my family. Going skiing ( though I'm terrible at it - heavy or not ????)

Not being tired all the time. A few days after I started the liver shrinking diet I'm not half as tired already so I've got that one started already! ????

Fitting into the airplane seats more comfortably.

I can't wait to go shopping when I get to a size 12 or 14!! I'm in a 20 from a 22 so that seems so far away but hey I need those stretch goals right?!

Looking forward to being so much healthier but most of all to see the look on my ex husbands face who left me for a thinner woman!

I'm looking forward to feeling normal size around my friends, for my husband to be able to pick me up with ease, and to stop feeling embarrassed about myself.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
