CLOTHING! I have always been heavy but most of my weight gain is more recent. I really look forward to fitting into some of my old clothes. I have donated a lot of smaller things but there are quite a few pieces I kept. I also had to buy some bigger clothing throughout the year to hold me over. I can't wait to donate it all! And although it's always a struggle in the clothing stores, I can not wait for the day I no longer need to find the "plus size" section (or should I say the few racks shoved in the corner with no signage).

Having more energy better health also getting rid of my sleep apnea hoping no more c pap machine!!Wearing great clothes/ going through my closets .. wear some smaller stuff I saved & donate the big stuff!!

Omg overalls!!! My husband ADORED how I looked in overalls (when I was 13 to 15 before I got big). He's expressed missing it and wanting me to get another pair, but not only do they not make sizes big enough for me, but I know it will look horrible on my current body shape and would just be a disappointment for him.

I can't wait to have more energy .. I used to have 3x the energy I do now even just a year ago. I feel terrible that I'm not giving my energetic 5 year old what I used to! I tried to play kick ball with him the other day and it was rough running around the bases without slowing down. I also can't wait to wear skirts and shirts that show thighs without cellulite! And to wear a bathing suit and not be self conscious ! My surgery is this Wednesday and whether I get nervous I think of these things!

I'm already post op. Pre op I broke a chair, worried about what people thought of me, bulged my clothes, etc.

The thing that I find I celebrate is how my body feels. When I move it is different, lighter. I don't thump so much when I move around the house. I can hop up out of a chair without creaking. I don't always ask my son to get or do something for me. I squat and stand without issue. It really feels so different as to be noticeable numerous times throughout the day.. The movement of my legs when I walk, the feel of my clothes moving against my skin instead of clinging, my skin is dry not sweaty all the time. I reach to scratch and don't have to go though contortions to reach that itchy spot.

I could go on and on. My body is unfamiliar to me. But it feels great.

I love this thread! I most look forward to being physically comfortable in my body. I have a lot of pain and discomfort from my extra weight. I cannot wait to be free of it.

But I have to say, this post made me think that someday soon, I will be donating ALL my current clothes. The thought of throwing out an entire closet of fat clothes is pretty thrilling!

For me, it's going to be airline seats. I need them in first class, but at least the seats are somewhat wide. In economy, I have to suck in my gut for hours and pull my hands in front of me so that I take up less space.

I have so many things I'm looking forward to. New clothes, less pain, playing with my nieces more, and, someday, I would LOVE to play softball again! I also want to gain confidance, and be able to physically move around better.

Being able to find fashionable clothing easier, even tho I'm an older lady. And knowing I'm not the fat one when I walk into a room. Also having a smaller midriff that doesnt bulge out.

I'm looking forward to the clothes and being able to walk short distances without being out of breath. I'm ready to do all the things I have not been able to do.

Tucking in shirt, zip line, the ability to shop normal sizes that are always on sale, unlike Big&Tall

This sounds so weird, but my absolute number one goal is to go to Walmart or Target- and be able to fit into their cute size 18 and below shorts. I see them everytime I go, and REALLY want to wear them. I guess that fits under the "go into any store and buy anything you see" category.

I also want to be able to have the energy to do ANYTHING at ANY TIME of the day. Ahhh, a girl can dream.

Getting it over with and passing the 4-6 week mark with no leaks. Honestly, that is the #1 thing I am looking forward to.
Outside of that, I am most excited about the idea of aches and pains subsiding, improving the overall quality of my life (and lifespan, as obesity-related diseases run on both sides of my family) and a distant 3rd is clothes. I will definitely have fun shopping again!

Yes! Can't wait for the aches and pains to lessen/disappear!

Being able to fly without my fat touching the person next to me. Being able to snowboard without struggling to get up. Shopping will be more enjoyable. Also I'm looking forward to my heart rate spiking when I'm doing stupid things like putting on my shoes.

I'm looking forward to carrying less weight on my knees and feet. Hoping that some of my many medical problems will be corrected as time goes by. Buying smaller clothes is always a plus but my main goal is to be healthier all the way around.
