So I'm on the pre-op and its day 17 of 35. It is getting easier, but it is still tough. Sometimes I think about some of the reasons why I am doing this, and it helps me to stay commited.

Here is my Top 10 list for wanting WLS:

1 Job requires travel and flying is horrible if you are heavy.

2 Hard to walk long distances

3 Low Engery

4 I want to live to see my baby get old

5 Love life is non existant.

6 People are jerks if you are heavy.

7 Passed up for a better job in favor of a skinny person with less skills.

8 Ever try to mow the yard with a fat suite on?

9 Gotta order 2 of the big size thing to feel full.

10 Never to have to look at a folding chair again and wonder, is this gonna be ok?

What are your reasons for wanting WLS?

(If I can't have the Whopper.. I need to at least remind myself of why I don't want it anymore.)

1) To set a better example for my daughter.

2) To not live in constant pain anymore.

3) To live a long, healthy life.

4) To keep up with my boyfriend, who is 13 years younger than me!

5) To wear all the funky styles I love.

6) To enjoy exercising again.

7) To never have to get a seat belt extender on the plane again.

8) To remain active in my industry... it is hard to do hair all day when you weigh 262!

9) To sleep better.

10) To look as good as I know I can! :thumbup:

I love your list. I share some of the same. We can do this.
