I want to know what Goals everyone has. I don't mean weight goals. Like goals of getting into that pair of jeans or that mini skirt or swim suite. or possibly your CRUSH! Anything that you see yourself doing that you now want and it is so close. Like mine is to be able to use my Wii Fit and then after that telling me i am not obese :bored:

Hello Ralop and welcome to LBT!

Um, let's see... I would just love to be able to run again. I have two knee surgeries to get through and get myself to a reasonable weight that my knees can sustain the shock.

Sounds great to me!

I agree, no longer being obese is a great prize. :thumbup:

A lapband friend recently gave me two pairs of size 16 jeans and one is a Calvin Klein pair and I have them hanging on my bedroom door for motivation. I remember Oprah being so proud fitting into I think size 10 Calvin Kleins and I'll be just as proud to get into a 16 in jeans. I'm at the size 20-22 now and started with some of my pants in 30/32 so I can't wait!

I'm with kkoen, I want my girls to say HEY THATS MY MOM!!! the way we look reflects on them too. Middle and high school kids like to be mean and I don't want my girls to have to stand up for there mom or hate to be seen with me...

I'm getting married in 3 years (a long time, I know...:thumbup:). I want to be able to walk into Vera Wang and fit in any gown in the store. Also, my brother is getting married in 2 years, and I want to be just as beautiful as the other bridesmaids in the wedding (and again, fit into a really beautiful dress). Can't wait to be a normal size!!

You go LibbyJane! I love it!

I too hate that Wii - OBESE...like I need a computer to remind me!

I have an old pair of jeans that I really want to wear.

I want to go to weddings/functions in something that doesn't resemble a tablecloth.

I want to look good in pictures.

Someday I want to have children.

Those are my goals.

I want to be able to walk down and up the same trail at the Grand Canyon that my husband and I walked down and up the summer we first met and fell in love--we're going to Celebrate our 20th anniversary by going back to the Grand Canyon next summer--I know I'll be 20 years older, but I think that 47 years old is not too old (I know people way older than 47 who run up and down Pikes Peak--mountain near where I live--elev. 14,000 ft!). Also, I want to scuba dive again.

These are really great goals. My biggest goal of all time is not to shop at Casual Male!!!!! that will make me feel really great and plus those clothes are way to expensive, like 28 dollars for a shirt.

So many...where do I start?

*I want to sit on my husband's lap...comfortably :thumbup:

*I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and not care who else is around.

*I want to be able to borrow clothes from people and not be embarrassed because they don't fit

All of these are attainable....just need to keep it up. I am down 50 pounds and in a size 14 now...won't be too long for some of these goals to come to fruition!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
