The one thing I want more than anything is to stand in front of a full length mirror, completely naked, and just smile...I want to feel good in my own skin...I want to love myself...I want to be excited when I'm taking my clothes off...I want to feel confident when I undress for my husband...I want to smile :)

I'm hoping I can take my kids to the pool in the summer in a normal bathing suit. Not my "cowsuit" as I call it. Just a normal one-piece.

Mine is a goal that every woman should have...

I plan on buying the most skimpiest, sluttiest bikini I can find. Go on a cruise with no children in sight. Dock on some romantic island with beautiful beaches and make love while the waves cover our bodies.

As you can see I've thought about this a lot. LOL

I want to to this - and dance on a pole when we get back home!! I want to wake up the inner sex kitten whose asleep right now. I want my husband to think about me the way he did 70 lbs. ago. I know he still thinks Im beautiful and all of that...but I want him to know me as that vixen again.

Hey Ladies,

I think we should plan to meet somewhere tropical and exotic during the summer of 2009 or 2010, and plan to wear our skimpiest, sluttiest bikinis, and do a 'Lap Band' parade down the beach!:tongue2:

Who's in?:)

Ahhh.... when I lose all my weight I want to....

1. Cut my hair. Being fat causes insecurity, and everyone compliments me on my hair, so it's my security blanket.

2. Not have to suck it in all the time!! Breathe!! haha

3. Go on vacations and not be restricted due to my weight! Example: In Vegas I couldn't keep up with my friends on the strip, the walking was too much and my feet and knees were killing me. In Cancun, I wouldn't go scuba diving cuz I didn't want to be seen in bathing suit... you get the idea.

4. Do & think about ANYTHING other than my weight! It has consumed my life for too long, and I cannot wait to have that monkey off my back and enjoy living!

Be comfortable in bathing suit as we always end up at a beach somewhere for vacations. I also would like the mental freedom to know that I was in control of my weight(practice, practice). It will be awesome to live at a normal weight!

I keep telling my husband that I want to be beautiful again. I want to be able to walk to the end of the driveway with my 1 1/2 year old son. I want to wear a swim suit with out a cover. I want to not have to look in the back of the store for the plus size clothes.

I would like to sit on a plane or theater without being squished. I would like to hike, swim, bowl , try new things. I want to wear a tight leather catwoman outfit for Halloween.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
