Ok, lets hear them. What are some Post-op goals that you have after you get up and about. One of my goals is my kids and I do karate. I'm a purple belt currently but stopped when I started getting out of breath. Now I just watch as I help run the office. I promised my kids I would get back in it and we would do all the tournaments to go to state next year. My 15yo wants to buy a bow flex so we can work muscles to become stronger. I told them I could not start sparring again until doctor approval but I could do the rest I think. I will be talking to my doctor first though.

• not spill out of seats...especially in planes and theatres!

• overcome sleep apnea I had once already corrected through surgery

• cross my legs... good one @@Raymia!

• become more sporty

• climb the pyramids outside Mexico City

• be happy knowing that I will never again secretly eat two pies, a frozen pizza, bag of popcorn, box of pop tarts and an order of church's chicken in an evening!!! (This of course took as much therapy as it will the surgery. Surgery doesn't magically cure the root for overeating.)

• do yoga on floor without severe lower back pain and get my teaching certificate!!

My goals are....

1. Return back to cycling class at gym

2.wear a 2 piece bikini when I go to islands for my 40th bday

( Barbados or Virgin Islands) I'm 38 now so I have a little time.

3.get rid of Cpap machine due to I will no longer have sleep apnea.

4. Weigh 150 lbs and have no comorbitities.

5. Go into a regular store without getting looked at like "lady you can't fit these clothes" and pick out a size 6/8 and fit in them with no problem.

I plan on reaching each of these goals.

All the common ones: shop at regular clothing stores; fit in theater, arena, and airplane seats; travel; etc.

I'd really like to learn a physical skill that I'd enjoy. I'm not sure if that's boxing, martial arts, dancing, tai chi, or what.

Our lists are so similar! I can fly without a seatbelt extender and get up off the floor without help.

@Little Bill, I can reach and scratch my back and my butt!

My biggest goal is to apply for Survivor (and get on!!). Or is that cheating since I won't be as hungry as everyone else?

      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.

      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...
