Chubby Bucket List



Recommended Posts

So now that I am getting close to goal, i have been wanting to do a few things that I didn't feel I could do being heavy...physically, socially, and emotionally... This week I went downhill skiing twice. Could not believe that I would have enough stamina to do it. But it happened!!!!! Things I want to do this year:

-go horseback riding

-go to a climbing wall

-ride a skidoo

-waterski

-go snow shoeing

-run a 5k

That's it for now...what is your list?

Getting banded on 3/4 so I have a long way to go...but...

Show my kids I can both swim and go off a diving board.

Ride bikes as a family to my kids soccer practice.

Go down the curvy slide at the pumpkin farm.

Jump on the trampoline.

--<insert intimate position>-- with my hubs that is too uncomfortable now

Wear clothes from the Victoria Secret's PINK collection

...and last but not least...FEEL AMAZING =)

I would like to first be able to fit into a nice bathing suit. I would like to go shopping and buy anything I want because it can fit me. I would like to go horseback riding as well. I would like to go on a roller coaster..

I was banded on November 30th, 2012 and have signed up to do the Dirty Girl Mud Run in August. Have NEVER done anything like this but since this is the year of the "new" me I figured why not. :rolleyes: I would also like to run/walk a 5K and maybe do one at Disney World as a "yay" me achievement some time.

Great job on the downhill skiing!!

Travel, travel, travel and sex, sex, sex. Both, more comfortably than what's happening now! :P

And I'm definitely looking forward to more stamina, agility, confidence, a higher happiness quotient and stabler moods (i.e., no more sugar highs and lows).

My biggest goal right now is to be able to go shopping wherever I feel like it! And to get some knee high boots and skinny jeans! I also want to be able to run again. I love running, ya know, back when I could do it LOL

I want to learn to ride the unicycle I bought last year.

When my BMI gets below 30, I plan to donate a kidney.

I am going to wear a slinky dress to the holiday party at work this year.

CarolinaGirl it makes me sad that you said walk around the flea market without feeling your husband is ashamed of you..

I'm newer to the forums and you seem like the sweetest person on here! Any man would be lucky to have a wife as sweet as you! Regardless of your size I'm sure he is proud of you! ???ƒ

My list includes taking my son to an amusement park and not having to worry about fitting into rides.

Fly without being uncomfortable the whole flight!

Not be forced to buy an aisle seat at sporting events because I am spilling out of the seat!

Run around for extended periods of time playing with my son.

Be able to buy clothes anywhere I want!!

To hopefully get rid of my sleep apnea, high blood pressure.

Go hiking, rock climbing, play basketball with my friends without being embarrassed, to eat in public without being self conscious, be able to comfortable fit in the desks at my college, and many many more things! Lol

You know I never thought about this until reading this post! I have a lot of wants for when I get smaller! By cloths that don't say plus on them! Go on a trip to a amusement park and ride and ride and ride some more! But most importantly feel good in my own skin!

      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.
