Things I Wish I Could Do (pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery)

[ShoeLover 141]

Hopefully if all goes well I will be having my surgery in 2 months, and will be on my way to finally doing some things I've never done or haven't been able to do for a while.

Here is a list of some of the things I want to be able to do after WLS that I cannot do now because of my weight:

Go ziplining, jetskiing, and kayaking

Wear a swimsuit with confidence

Dance at a nightclub without sweating within the first 45 seconds

Sing on stage without feeling self-conscious

Not be the fattest person in the gym working out

Paint my own toenails, and buckle my shoes

Stop snoring

Wear pumps/stilettos without foot fat bulging out or worrying about keeping my balance

What things do/did you want to do but couldn't as a fat person? Maybe I can get some more ideas to put on my list of to-dos after WLS.

[luv-a-bull 7]

I am so looking forward to these things too....and in 4 days Ill be on my way:)

Here is my list: horseback riding, rollercoasters, can go to any clothes store and find my size, fly on a plane comfortably, wear a dress with confidence, get a bra from victoria's secret, and the list could go on....

[ShoeLover 141]

Oh wow, I forgot about rollercoasters....I haven't been on any since high school. And I definitely cannot wait until I can fit into an airplane seat comfortably.

[ShoeLover 141]

I also forgot to add rock-climbing to my list.

[Tenshi 34]

Oh, my... the list could go on and on... I have a lot of similar things on my list and would add...

Fitting into knee-high boots.

Wearing skirts/dresses without the burning fire of chub rub! Ow!

Fitting into arena seats without having bruises on my hips for the next two weeks.

Not being embarrassed to the point of apologizing for my size every time I take a bus and don't get a seat to myself.

Learning new things - SCUBA, maybe a martial art?, training to be a runner/run a 5K

Oh, there's so much more....

[SleeveDreamer 383]

Wow you all sound so ambitous! I only have 60 lbs. to lose but it is all in my abdomen and I can't do anything I am so uncomfrtable I want to be able to wear my jeans tucked into my boots, cut my toenails, go into my closet and not wear the same top and jeans everyday, wear a black tee shirt tucked into jeans with a black belt, walk on the treadmill 40 minutes without running out of breath after 5 minutes, and wear cute clothes with belts without looking like I have a belt around a redwood tree trunk! LOL!

[mxmom 4]

I am so ready to be smaller than my hubby!

and to go shopping and wear what I really want to wear, instead of being limited by styles and stores and sizes....

[Lilu 65]

Wow as I read everybodies list I was thinking of mine, so here it goes

1. Because I look like I am carrying twins I want to stop telling people I am due in six month

2. Correctly wipe myself without pain and sweating

3. Buy mirror

4. Walk again with stoping every ten minutes to rest

5. Walk with husband without looking like a perfect ten (he is one and I am the zero)

Hopefully this will happen before my birth in Feb. 2012

[BluebonnetMagonlia 29]

Well this is encouraging to say the least...Here goes

Get Pregnant and have a healthy baby

[Swimmer 199]

Get up off the ground gracefully. Was at a parade today sitting on the curb and realized I can't get up easily anymore.

[Cheles 75]

Ok, I hadn't thought about this either. But here's a few I would like to do.

1. Not see my stomach between my legs
   
2. Cross my legs
   
3. Paint my toes
   
4. Run around with my grand children
   
5. Chase my dogs through the yard
   
6. Have my husband throw me over his shoulder (he's a strappin' man!)
   
7. Buy 100% cotton jeans in the real women's department and not the strech kind
   
8. Be able to wear a silk blouses because my arm-n-hammer arms are gone.
   
9. Walk my dogs daily
   
10. Sky dive

I want to go sledding with my kids (14 year old twins) - not just take pictures or hold extra gloves. I want to wait in line for a roller coaster ride without the fear of "struggling" to get myself belted in. (forget the shear embarrassment of having to have the attendant help me out!). I CAN'T WAIT to have a real "family picture taken. I have avoided cameras for as long as I can remember. I want to go to a sporting event and not "have" to sit in the nosebleed section because I want a backrest and I feel uncomfortable sitting in front of people. I really just want to become more of an active participant in my children's lives - not just an onlooker.

[fluffylibra30 323]

i want to run a mile. I used to love to run.

i want to wear clothes from the regular size section

i want to look sexy in a summer dress

i want to be able to breathe will painting my toes/shaving/ tyeing my shoes

i want my husband to be able to pick me up

i want to wear a sexy bathing suit and look great in the pictures of family vaction.

Also i want my daughter to not have a fat mom, want to be able to do fun stuff and not be too tired.
