I want to be able to see my future grand babies come into my life and have a chance to roll around on the floor and play with them. :D I want my children to be proud of me again. I want my doctor to be proud of me, but most of all..... I want to be proud of me.

I want to go scuba diving (two words for you - WET SUIT!)

I want to go river rafting

I want to go up in a hot air balloon

I want to walk a half-marathon

I want to try on my wedding dress one last time, and then sell it on consignment because it's too big.

Things I'm enjoying so far:

I finally felt confident enough to join the at-work yoga class with my skinny coworkers

I'm enjoying my workouts, not dreading them

I can shop in regular stores

Life is GOOD!!

Mine will sound cheesy and shallow, but here goes:

I can't wait to take a picture with my son who is now 8 months old. So far, I've only been in a few pictures with him, shown only from the neck up. I've taken hundreds of pictures of him alone though :)

I can't wait to be able to update my Facebook picture with a RECENT picture of me, and not just my baby. LOL

I can't wait to have my SO sweat when other guys are checking me out.

I can't wait to *not* feel like getting my hair and nails done are a waste of time because I'm fat.

I can't wait to not have to worry that I will run into someone who knew me back when I was slim at the grocery store.

I can't wait to work out at the gym without worrying about feeling and looking fat.

Gosh, I can't wait to leave the house more! I've been practically hiding out in my house for the past year!

I cant wait to sit in a plastic or folding chair and not worry that it's going to break or sink deeply in to the grass and dirt.

I cant wait to stop second guessing myself about everything. This weight takes so much of my self confidence away sometimes.

I have some negatives and some positives ... I'll get the negatives out of the way first.

I can't wait for the day when I stop stressing about my fat, I want to stop pulling at my shirt trying to hide the rolls and wondering if certain clothes make me look ... fatter. I can't wait for negative thoughts about my weight to NOT be the first thing I think about when I wake up, on my mind all day and the last thing I think about when I go to bed.

Ok, the good stuff! I can't wait to have the energy to keep up with my brother and sister who are both very active and always doing fun things! I can't wait to feel good and I mean REALLY feel good! I look forward to feeling "successful" when I think about my health and weight. I can't wait to travel without worry and I really can't wait to see what's in store for me when I do loose the weight and have more energy! :)

I look forward to the possibility of not thinking about food or fat or dieting constantly. The freedom that will come from that means more to me than any of the other things that will come with it. This vicious cycle of losing and gaining has literally become torture.

      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.
