I wanted to see where you see yourself in 15 years? Most of us probably won't be on this forum board in 5 years let alone 15, BUT I was curious about long term goals and aspirations! Do you want a family? To live abroad? Travel? Please share

In 15 years I will be 45 and I see myself married possibly with kids. I will be able to shop anywhere I want and wear the clothes I actually want to wear and not the ones I have to settle for. Working in a career I enjoy and I will have traveled to countries I always wanted to visit and only had to buy one seat. I will have gone sky diving, zorbing, and bungee jumping. I will have season tickets to the theater and orchestra and be able to buy any seat not have to buy handicap seats so I can use a pull out chair...That's my dream at least.

I don't see why that can't happen

In 15? I will be 6 momths from ret

Well, compared to how I was a year ago, I see myself not dead in 15 years.. that's a plus I assume.

Try 2: I will be six months from retiring. I think my life will be pretty much the same. I have an amazing job I imagine I'll get a couple promotions - I never fully appreciated how much underline prejudice there was when I was overweight. I will enjoy in country vacation and out of country vacation with my spouse each year. A few more laugh lines I will still be biking hiking and running. All my kids will be adults in 5 years - I am not thinking grandparenting but I could see that sometime in the next 15. I will be 58 - full of life. Active I want to make sure I am active.
Mostly I know life can change in the beat of my heart, I want this moment. If not here I am Magent most of us will be somewhere - w need people and this is a lifelong choice. I am not sure the fear of losing what I have gained by losing 100 lbs will ever completely go away.

Yeah. Avoiding death is a good goal.

I hope I'm living the same life I'm living right now just healthier and more energetic. I retired early, have a small farm in the mountains and married the love of my life a few years ago. Being healthier would just be the cherry on top of a wonderful life.

Agree with@Joann454. I don't need a whole different life; I just want to enjoy mine/ours and be healthy and able to move around freely. My hub deserves it too.

I agree! My mom is ten years post op rny & has NO health issues, only improvements. I see how this journey changed her life & I just want the same.

15 years from now I'll be approaching retirement or near it (I'll be 40) and hope that my children are in college or nearing it, and I'm preparing to move to Florida to spend the rest of my days with my hubby.

Wait... You'll be close to retirement at 40? Or, do you mean you are 40 now, and plan to retire at 55?

Either way, wow, that's an early retirement! Good job!

Nope, I'll be 40:) with the way the govt is I may need 20 more added to that haha

I'll be 46 years old in 15 years. My goal is to have financial security, have 2 kids, & feel I haven't missed out on anything. Just happy & healthy with my man & kids.


Height: 5'0"
Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.
Surgery date: 2/13/17
Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).
Current weight: 165.6 lbs
My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

I'll be 40, I hope I have children by then and married, with a home and a fat savings account. I want to go back to school further my nursing career and open up my on board and care for Children or Disabled adults so having this surgery will help me lead by example not just by telling someone to be healthy. Plus have the engery to achieve my dreams, I want to travel and focus on living life instead of calculating every move I make, sizing seats and booths ... Avoiding crowds and people. I just want to freaking live!
