What are some of the things you want to buy or do once you hit goal?

My list:

1) Stop taking the 6 meds a-day.

2) Buy a pair of stilettos( I have never owned a pair)

3) Wear jeans with a zipper.

4) Go the local Water park.

5) Run more than 2 feet.

All of the above and the VSG has allowed me to do this.

I made a huge list on my blog. I just want to be able to "live"! I want to enjoy life with my family and I can't wait!

I have a lot of "wants", but my biggest one is to KICK PCOS TO THE CURB, BECOME FERTILE AND START A FAMILY!

That is the most important...

The next most satisfying one would be to cut up my plus-size clothing store credit card because nothing from there fits anymore! HA!

I only had one goal when I had

surgery and that was to stop shopping in the plus size department. I can't tell you how nice it is to take a medium to the dressing room and find out it's too big.

I still have no desire to wear heals, or tuck my shirts in and wear belts.

1. More sex, better sex. Hey, I'm a guy!

2. Buy anything off the rack at Bass or Eddie Bauer.

3. Walk into a sports store and not be ignored by the clerks.

4. Run a 10k. After I do a 5k and a 1k and 100 yards! Bike 50 miles too.

5. More energy for gardening and home remodeling. Wife is an HGTV fan.

6. Greater respect at work and better chances for promotion.

7. Live long enough to take my company's pension for every nickle I can!:thumbup:

  • Hell yeah to the sex! I wanna be able to get in some interesting positions :thumbup:
  • ride horses again!
  • being able to "go for a run." a real run.
  • go to a theme park without worrying about fitting in the seats
  • go dancing, swimming, biking without feeling self conscious
  • never ever again be called a "bbw"

as far as clothing goes... all I know is, I'm going to have to get a LOT pickier! I'm a total fatshionista as it is so I'll buy anything that looks cute right now, but there are so many more options for straight sizes so I'm going to have to reign that in for sure. After a little fun of course.

2) More energy

3) More self confidence

4) To wear sleeveless tops/dresses during the summer:frown1: without feeling self conscious (due to my trucker arms lol)

5) To live a healthier life so I can be here longer for my hubby and kids

6) I would LOVE to learn how to surf :001_smile: since I love the beach lol

Humpty girl you need to go to the Water park now! I see all shapes and sizes at the various water parks, beaches, etc. I just put some shorts over my bathing suit, and I'm good to go...cottage cheese legs and all :lol0:LOL!

I want to ...

1. Dance. Tango, Paso Doble, swing, lindy hop, cha cha, merengue, waltz, ballet, belly, indian temple. I want to move with energy and not be slowed down by sweating chafing fat, a thumping heart, and exhaustion after a few minutes.

2. When I do dance, I want to really dance with a partner, feel their body against mine.

3. The sex!!

4. Walk into a room and feel totally confident and assured in myself.

I am going to go back and take riding lessons and then buy a horse. I rode Western as a girl, but always wanted to ride english and do dressage and jumping. I'm over half at there and have already found the stable I am going to use. I am already living "my life" again and every day gets better. Oh yeah, and of course the sex!

OMG, yes! I'm signing up for ballet, modern dance, and jazz this fall. I tried ballet in the spring, but the barefoot jumps were hard for me because of my weight - I was afraid of damaging my feet. It should be way easier once I'm down even just 10 pounds! I'd like to try Latin dance in the spring, if my boyfriend's up for it.

I also wanna get my 5K time down to under 30 mins...no matter how much I've trained, I've NEVER managed to run a 5K in under 30 minutes, and I blame the extra weight I've had to haul. I'm sure I'll be way faster once I'm 50 pounds down! I'm tired of having my final results reflect my weight, and not my hard work.

I take ball room dance classes and we do most of those dances. I am so glad I lost all my weight because that was the first thing I noticed. There are no fat people in the classes, and no fat people going to any of the dances either.

Dancing has opened up a whole new world for me. It's been one of the best rewards for losing all my weight! I LOVE dancing and I dance at least 3 times a week these days:thumbup:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
