May 24 2013 - the start and a wish list

[Mrs.Bales 31]

It's the night before my surgery and I am feeling like it is the start of my fresh new opportunity. I get banded tomorrow and have a wish list;

• climb the stairs and not be winded
  
• sit on the airplane and not worry about the seatbelt or how tight the seats are
  
• buy clothes wherever I want to
  
• actually WANT to excercise
  
• sit on an old chair and not worry it might break
  
• feel sexy again
  
• wear high heals (my feet may hurt but it won't be because of my weight it will be because they look soooo good!)
  
• buy a pair of jeans
  
• FEEL HEALTHY!
  

:D :D

I love it! Those are on mine too. Throw away elastic waited clothes! Ride a roller coaster! Wear makeup without sweating it off the first hour.

There are sooo many! Good luck tomorrow. 12 hours to go before banding. Yay for the May 24ers! Hehe!

I agree with all you said... I will add: go zip-lining, resume riding a motorcycle (have my license but haven't ridden in years), go swimming at a beach/pool (I have been too embarrassed to do so for a long time).

Good luck... and I hope you BOTH are recovering well from your surgery and that everything went well

Thanks! Recovery is going well. The gas pains in the shoulders a d neck are the worst. Today was the first day I haven't been as nauseated. It hurts to swallow but I have been trying to get some liquids in. I think the pain is caused by the hernia repair. All and all it is going great. I still can't believe it is actually happening. I have been dreaming about it for a long time. Oh, and I am down 4lbs since surgery! I hope all the other May bandsters are doing great.

I hope everyone is recovering well. Today is my first day I feel almost 100%. I did a lot of walking yesterday and finally defeated the annoying gas pains. I cleaned house today and started cleaning out my clothes. Goodbye fat clothes! I usually store them, but this time I am not going back! It is time to pull out some of the smaller clothes I have. I have so many different wardrobes. I'm guessing most of you guys do to if you are a yo-yo dieter like me. Hey I guess it beats having to buy clothes when do don't plan on staying that size long. Hope everyone is doing great! Oh I found a site mybariatricpantry.com great food and super fast delivery. I got my Vitamins, some yogurt, oatmeal and Soups. Just the stuff I need. All high Proteins.< /p>

Your post is me to a "T"! I have clothes sizse 8 to 20. My poor husband gets very little of our rather large closet! Like you, I am NOT going to keep my fat clothes this time. I've been upset in the past when I got rid of fat clothes, then when I got fat again I had to go buy clothes. I know it is very possible to gain the weight back with the LB, but I just can't let it happen! Good luck to you!
