Any "bucket List" Items Added Once You Get Your Weight Down



Recommended Posts

I have just started my process and have not been banded but I am trying to create a list of things that I never thought i could do but would like to once I lose a significant amount of my weight. I wonder what others have in mind for once they have lost their weight.

1. Scuba dive in the Caribbean.

2. Hike to the top of a mountain.

3. Run/Walk a 5 or 10K

I was banded 8 months ago and have discovered the joys of being able to cross my legs, exercise, buy normal sized clothes and generally feel good about myself. The big thing on my bucket list is to ride in the Great Victorian Bike Ride that takes place each November. I am going to ride in next year's Ride, but the only disappointment is that it is taking place in my home area :(

I entered an 8K road race last year as a memorial to a deceased friend...I had to walk most of it. I would love to be able to run the full 5 miles next time I run a race! smile.png

To be able to walk into Victoria's Secret and not buy anything. Not because I couldn't fit in their bras/panties, but because I chose not to.

I would love to Kayak. I tried it many many years ago when I was not so big and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I would also like to participate in some Cancer charity walks. I've quite a bit of cancer survivors and losses in my life and would like to somehow do something for them.

I guess the rest of it is really everyday things that most skinny people take for granted. Like going to a restaurant or movie or a concert and not worry about seating. Being able to travel on a plane and not have to fly first class because of my size.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
