what are you most looking forward to??

I will be SO glad to get to a place where my shorts don't ride up between my thighs. :blush:

I want to buy and wear cute belts.

I want to be able to shop anywhere and not just plus-size shops.

Not being the fattest one in the room.

Not having my fat thighs rub together.

Having the hot guy check me out and not my friend.

Buying my clothes off the clearance rack instead of the expensive plus size section.

I am still early in my Lapband journey but already I have many things that I have accomplished and some still to come. This weekend someone told me I was looking "HoT"!! I haven't heard that probably ever in my life. It made me feel good. And it made me want to work even harder..

Also I love not being the biggest woman at my work anymore.

Good Luck to you!!

Looking forward to WANTING to wear fashionable clothes..no more elastic waste pants and big tops to cover my belly and butt.

Looking forward to having even MORE energy than I have already noticed in myself! Some days I just can't stop myself, my family is still trying to figure it out. LOL

Looking forward to being on top. :blush:

Looking forward to going to a concert without feeling self-conscious about the seats being too small.

Looking forward to traveling up to my NYC office where people haven't seen me since February and having them go :mad5:.

Looking forward to having someone flirt with me. :blink:

Looking forward to cleaning out my damn closet. I no longer want to keep sizes 18 through 24. :lol I'll get rid of all the stuff as I pass out of that size and buy new stuff iun 16, 14, 12... and eventually I'll only have 1 size in there. :blush:

  • no need for extender on airline seatbelt (or worry about such)
  • fit into my EMT jumpsuit again (and the size smaller that they bought me just a year ago)
  • not having to pack so many clothes when traveling (if I'm smaller and I spill or rip, I could buy something anywhere in a "normal" size)
  • losing my aching back

Oh, I agree! I have a small daughter and HATE when I go in someplace to buy her something, the clerks just assume that I am looking for me and they have nothing in my size. I had one clerk in an upscale store tell me the other day that they were 'light' on my size. :crying:

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
