I am looking forward to wanting to be in a picture with my kids!

No more excuses for not doing certian activities with my 8 and 11 yr old when I am really too fat or out of shape but won't say it.

to be able to buy cute in style clothing and a dress that I can feel confident to wear... so I won't advoid dress up situations.

to wear a pair of Levis with cowboy boots! and take a line dancing class!

Gosh I could go on and on!

Shopping at Hot Topic instead of Torrid

....Or Any other store where a size 2 cost so much cheaper then a size 20.

Being able to wear a regular size necklace or braclet and not feeling like its gonna choke me or cut off my circulation.

the ability to feel sexy, and wear thongs again.

Being able to go get a bikini wax and fit on those tiny table/beds.

To be able to buy clothes in a regular size not 16 or above!

Being able to walk up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath.

To sit in the same room as hubbys 3 sisters and not feel like a FAT cow!!! They are all skiny size 4-6.

Same with me I could go on and on!

Not shying away from pics because I'm too embarrassed.

Being able to wear shorts.

Wearing cute clothes.

Being more active and doing more activites.

Not being a fat auntie to my nephew.

Having guys look my direction and what the heck how about a bf!

Wearing a swimsuit and going to the beach.

Not feeling like I'm the fattest person that just walked into the room.

I want to go rafting without sinking the raft!

These are all GREAT and I agree completely with all of them!

Here are a few of mine:

~NOT lift up my belly in the shower to clean it and not worry about having to put powder there before I get dressed so I don't get a rash... same goes with under the boobs, back fat and any other "roll" areas! SICK of that!!!

~NOT constantly having to adjust my bra because I have "overflow" somewhere.. either the back above or below or hanging out the front making those awful bumps, etc....

~NOT wearing some old lady bathing suit "dress" in the pool

~NOT having my children come up to me and "jiggle" certain areas of my body and giggle. (they are little and don't realize it's not really appropriate to do)

~having my husband LOOK at me in "that way" again...

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
