I also didn't answer this one the first time around because I was stuck and it was starting to look like I'd never get there! lol.

1. I will walk into any normal sized store and know that if I see anything I like, they'll have one that fits me.

2. I will have an ENTIRE WARDROBE full of things that I only wear at home in front of my fiance.

3. HOPEFULLY, I'll get to goal in time to feel comfortable asking him to carry me over the threashold on our wedding night.

4. Not wear a large or extra large wet suit when I got scuba diving. And not wear more than 15 lbs of weight.

5. Truly know that if I stand out in a room, it has nothing to do with my size.

I'll have to come up with more here...

LOL Kat, my daughter is so afraid I'm going to want to "share" her clothes that she is making an effort to slim up so she can stay ahead of me. (she is 14 though, and her worst night mare is me dressing like her.)

Wow - I love this one - my secret skinny dreams

1. To ride the Great American Scream Machine with my daughter (she begged me too a couple of weeks ago and I was afraid of getting squeezed to death by the lap bar...(It's a roller coaster at Six Flags Over GA)

2. Never have to hear my kids say that I am fat - my oldest has gotten better since she has gotten older - now she just says "the way you are now" BOY - that hurts (My two youngest are too young for that yet - so maybe they will never get to that point.)

3) Not be embarrased by being the only fat mom at school functions

4) Not have to have knee surgery

5) Have self confidence

6) Clean out my closet - no more fat clothes

7) Go to my husbands work functions and not feel embarrassed.

8) Not suddenly come down with the Flu before my husbands big Christmas party

9) Weigh less that my DH

10) Must to the Victoria Secret thing too

11) Have wild and crazy sex with my husband - not just lay there in one position.

12) Go on a cruise and enjoy wearing swimsuits and evening gowns

13) Go to the Mall to shop

14) Not be considered an endomorph

15) Not hide if I see someone I used to know before fathood(or pretend I didn't notice them)

16) Not have to wear the BIG gown at the OBGYN and hope it closes

17) Not look envious at skinny people - well - maybe I still will do that

18) Never fade into the background again!

19) Go places - snorkeling, deep sea fishing, to Ireland and Australia, Europe - anywhere and not be a hobbit anymore

20) To hear my husband say that I am beautiful and believe he really thinks so...

Most of all - To thank God for giving me the gift of life through the help of the band, and allowing me to live to enjoy it - really enjoy it.

I CAN"T WAIT!!! :clap2:

My GRANDDAUGHTER is 14 and lives with me. I can wear her clothes (she's not overweight - I'm just very close to goal). Can you imagine anything more traumatic than sharing your grandmother's clothes? The really low-rise jeans are all hers, though. I'm not into flaunting my underwear, or showing my butt cleavage.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

    • buildabetteranna

      over 20 lbs down since4 the pre surgery diet and surgery on the 14th
