I want to enjoy the outdoors again. I want to go kayaking and camping. I want to be able to fit into a regular bathtub. I want to ride a roller coaster again and fit, fly in an airplane without asking for a seat belt extender. I want to own shoes with shoelaces.

I want to look better naked.. lol

Also, I want to get back to running regularly like I did before I gained the 60lbs I had lost on weight watchers, plus 20 for reinforcement..... I had gotten up to doing half marathons. I want to do those again as well as one day tackle the full marathon.

I want to have a bath in a normal bathtub, ride horses again, learn to climb those rock walls, go shopping for normal clothes, not be looked at, fit easily in economy on flights, not be the big girl in the group.

Love these! I forgot an important one. I want to be able to get back up without calling the jaws of life or the fire department if I fall! No joke! :(

I want to get a bike. I've wanted a bike for years but I'm past the weight to just be able to purchase one at Target or Walmart. I'd also like to fit in my normal bathtub and use bath bombs to relax.

The actual number on the scale isn't my primary goal or motivation. I have been diabetic in one form or another (gestational diabetes that led to type 2) for more than 7 years. There are realities that accompany T2 that I'm not wanting to face, at least not in my 50s. I have two young kids and I want to be around, with all my limbs intact, when they graduate, get married, etc. Getting smaller is an added bonus, but I want to feel like I'm in control of my body and not need a gazillion meds to make that happen.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
