Recommended Posts

Ok so we are always talking about our dates, pre-op diets etc etc that I needed a break for just a minute.

So fill in the blank..

I'll be glad when I can........

It can be anything from fitting into your favorite sz 10 jeans to finally getting to ride the roller coaster....comfortably.

Let's share and have fun with this.

So

I'll be glad when I can........

Great thread idea!!! I've got quite a list!

I'll be glad when I can...

  • not worry about weight limits on rides
  • shop in the regular section
  • cross my legs in a lady-like fashion
  • sit in any chair comfortably
  • wear my beautiful rings again (without getting them upsized)
  • tie my shoes comfortably
  • see my collar bones
  • wrap up in a regular sized towel
  • walk up a flight of stairs without being winded
  • see my "cat" without a mirror (I know...TMI):smile:

Can't wait to read y'alls. I'm sure you'll make me think of other things to add to my list!

I think all mine are taken.

...when I hit ONEderland.

...when I don't have to buy plus sizes.

...when I can buy a pretty bra, not a big bra.

...when I can decide what to wear based on what is pretty, not what covers the fat the best.

...when I am FIT instead of FAT.:thumbup:

This is such a great thread!!!

I'll be glad when I can get changed at the gym and not hide in the bathroom stall.

Go to an amusement park with my kids.

Stop checking to see if I am the fattest person in the room.

of course wear CUTE clothes not just what covers me up best.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
