I saw this post and I just had to reply because I hit my goal and I am living my bucket list!

1. Fly in an airplane in comfort...done!

2. Fly in a small plane where they need to know your weight before take off (and I told the truth!)...done!

3. Walk through town eating a ice cream cone (a small one) and not feel like people are staring at the fat lady...done!

4. Buy a single digit item of clothing...done!!!!!!!!

5. Buy boots in a department store...done!!!

I started at 244 and I am now fluctuating between 129 and 131...I had a life long problem with obesity, and this is my first time living as a thinner person...I am on a drug known for weight gain, so I am watching daily...I am determined to never weigh over 135 again!!!

Oh!!! How fun!!!!!!

1. I love love love maxi dresses - want to wear one without looking like a linebacker (I got boobs too so this may or may not happen even when I'm thin).

2. Not feel uncomfortable during sexy time with the b/f...constantly asking if he's looking at my fat. blink.gif

3. Go to Water parks in the area and feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy them, not asking for a 2 piece, but at least not a skirted suit.

4. Take up swimming again. I swam competitively for years and want to get back to doing that.

5. Not have to worry about being smooshed in a booth/movie seat/plane/roller coaster....etc. I've never been turned away from a ride, but man have my hips been mad at me after being smooshed into some of those seats.

6. CLOTHES. I'm a clothes whore now, I don't even want to know what kind of shopoholic I'm going to be once I can go anywhere.

The simple things really.

I bought a Harley at 100 pounds lost.... i got the same response your crazy.... It's fun and very liberating.

The weight is coming off pretty good. My first big goal is 50 pounds and I'm at 33 now. To Celebrate I'm going to learn to ride a motorcycle and buy a Harley :D I keep telling people it's on my skinny bucket list. Even though I'm getting the whole 'you're crazy!' thing from people. Actually here's my whole skinny bucket list:

1. Ride a Harley

2. Get back on a roller coaster

3. Get a boyfriend (:wub:)

4. Wear a bikini (of course, that's my final bucket list item :D)

So, what's on your bucket list? Maybe I can add some ideas to mine :)

Not panic about driving with other people because I might have to sit in the backseat. Many backseats have seat belts that are smaller than those found in the front.

Hi all!! I've been a member here since June 2010, but I have struggled with losing the pre-op weight needed in order to get banded. I'm giving it another shot now. I need to lose get down to 290 before I can get it done and I'm currently 315. I have been big my whole life and I have always thought about the things I would do once the weight came off. I'm so excited to think they may finally happen. Here is my list:

1. Put on my shoes and socks without having to sit on a couch with my leg rested up on a cushion. (I can't prop my foot up on my knee anymore).

2. Buy cute shorts and skirts and not worry about my fat thighs.

3. Buy cute knee boots to wear with skirts (I can't wear boots because my calves are too big)

4. Not have to constantly stretch my shirts before putting them on in order to hide the rolls

5. To be more comfortable when being intimate with my husband.

6. Be able to get on the floor and play with my son

7. Be able to get in and out of our boat with out assistance.

8. Wear my seatbelt in any car without worrying about by belly pushing the shoulder belt into my neck

9. Be able to buy clotes in any store I go to

10. BE ABLE TO WEAR CUTE MATERNITY CLOTHES WITH MY NEXT PREGNANCY (This is a biggy for me because I always looked forward to wearing those cute maternity shirts with the sayings on them, but with my son, I couldn't find any that would fit me. Even maternity clothes were too tight on me :(

11. Be able to wear and look good in a bikini

12. Go to a doctors office and not dread getting weighed and getting the lecture from the doc about my weight.

13. Go on future cruises and vacations and not worry about looking like a whale.

I probably could go on, but I will stop there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
