Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

1) I want to be able to walk through a store a turn a head or two for all the right reasons. Not, look at the 'fat chick double-take'

2) Hubs and I will be re-newing our vows in 2012. I want to walk down the isle in a size 8. We got married at the JP the first time. No family, no pictures and no wedding cake!

3) I want to be able to have sex in positions that have been uncomfortable due to my weight, with confidence and enjoy it!

My goals are:

1) Not have to shop in the "Plus Size" section anymore for my clothing.

2) Be able to go to the movies and not have to squeeze into the seat.

3) Be able to do whatever physical activities I want without the fear of being "too fat to do that".

4) Be comfortable in my own skin!

Funny you posted this, I was just talking to my husband about a goal today!

I got married three years ago and I was also probably my heaviest. One of my many goals would be to have my dress RE-fitted and different wedding pictures taken!

Plus I want to go back packing with my husband..I do it now but I hate thinking about going long distances!

To be able to ride the rides at an amusement park. I love rollercoasters, and I haven't been able to ride one in 9 years.

My first goal is to get banded. (Getting closer have my psych consult on Tues and then we can submit to insurance.)

One of my other goals is to ride a roller coaster with my teenage son and have energy to play with my younger kids.

Riding a horse again sounds awesome too!

My goal:

1) To be confident enough to start dating after a 10 year hiatus!

2) To not get the eye roll from whoever sits next to me on an airplane.

3) To wear a dress and actually look good... the last dress I looked good in was my 2nd grade communion dress.

Here's to the future!

I love this goal- I want to steal it! I was this weight (my current) when I was married. My weddng gown is hanging in a closet at my parents home. When we visit at Christmas, I want to try it on and have it be baggy!

I want to be able to easily get pregnant next fall, not struggle for almost 2 yrs.

I want to slip into a pair of size 14 shorts I've had since high school (I'm currently wearing a 20/22, depending on the brand).

I have a few different goals.

-My first one is to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath.

-I want to be able to ride on a roller coaster instead of watching my friends go on them. I am tired of pretending that I have motion sickness.

-I want to be able to stop shopping in Plus Size stores.

-I want to go places and not have to worry about people staring at me all the time

-I have never been on a date before and i really want to

-I want to be able to have kids in the future if I want to.

I'm starting the process.... so it's a ways off. But, I've thought of some goals that I can't wait to achieve!

1. Not to shop in the plus size section anymore.

2. Wear a DRESS and feel confident.

But, over all the two biggest goals that would mean the world to me if I accomplished would be:

One, have a baby :bolt:

And, Two. To make it into the healthy level of BMI so that I can become a Bone Marrow/Stem Cell donor so that I could possibly give someone a fresh start at life.

... like an anonymous stranger did for my husband. <3

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
