I second so many of these already written (especially the crossing leg thing), and here's another for me...

-Finally be on stage without wondering if everyone was thinking such a "fatty" should just go sit down.

Things I want to be able to do:

1. Accept invitations from old friends (if I'd like to go) and not worry about my size first.

2. Get in a hot tub or pool during the day light hours.

3. Feeling comfortable in a regular seat when I fly.

4. Kayaking

5. Getting out of bed without hurting

6. Not needing my CPap machine (for Apnea) at night.

7. Not believing my weight is causing every problem that I have.

8. Wearing "normal" clothes.

9. Camping/Hiking trips in the mountains.

10. Thinking about the adventure first, not my lack of stamina.

11. Boob job, so that I'm not flat like I was when I was thin.

12. Being able to shop for things I like, not things that fit.

12. Growing old with my children, grandchildren, great grand children (hopefully).

Things I am looking forward to...

Cutting my toenails easily.

Comfortably sitting in a "cattle class" flight.

Wearing a suit, and looking GOOD in it.

Receive a compliment on my appearance that isn't along the lines of "You have really blue eyes"

Go to a fashionable clothes shop an buy clothes in sizes WAY below their largest size.

Regain the confidence (and maybe cockyness) that I used to have when I was slim.

Things I have been able to do thus far;

1) Cross my legs like a lady

2) Shop in regular size stores

3) Wear some rings that I havent been able to for years

4) Have a gap (and it is a huge gap now) between my belly and the steering wheel of my car

5) Have had regular cycles for the last 5 months

6) Can paint my own toe nails

7) Shave my legs without taking a half hour to do it!

Thing I still want to do

1) Be cleared for type 2 diabeties (I see my endo next month)

2) Have my Tummy Tuck

3) Get another tattoo after said tummy tuck, on my beautiful new belly

4) Get down to a size AU14 or US12

These are in no particular order - just as I think of them.

1. Horseback riding

2. Fit comfortably in seats at some rocking Music Concerts

3. Have my fiance' carry me over the threshold or pick me up period or sit in his lap!

4. Not break out in a sweat from doing minor activities where no one else is sweating.

5. Get out of my low-ridin 35th Anniversary Edition Camaro easier.

6. To be comfortable completely and openly naked and lights blaring with my fiancee' instead of always trying to move an arm this way or a leg that way to try to look better and cover up my stomach or thighs etc.

7. To have smaller fingers to show off jewelry. (I got chubby man hands)

8. To be more comfortable when trying to shave in the bathtub.

9. To get a sexy tattoo right on my ass!

10. To Get my belly button pierced.

11. To look decent in a bathing suit that isn't a swimdress.

12. To be able to balance in sexy stillettos without breakin an ankle instead of wearing chunked platforms.

13. To buy cute belts and have the option of tucking in my shirt!

14. The look on everyone's faces at my 10 year high school reunion.

15. Being able to see ALL the way down south without a mirror.

16. To have seatbelts fit better.

17. To feel comfortable on a hot air balloon ride.

18. To shop for even cuter styles I can't wear now ie sleeveless etc.

19. To have more confidence in my body.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
