Can't wait to:

Not be winded by one flight of stairs

No longer trip on items left on the floor by my kids because I cannot see my feet

No longer nearly fall when descending stairs for same reason as above

Decreased back pain from ruptured disc

Get dressed to go out without tears and piles of clothing tossed onto floor of closet (to be tripped over later...)

Tie shoe laces without struggle

Kneel without feeling a crane would be nice in order to get back up

I have lost 50 /bs so far and right now I really look forward to being able to run and jump. They seem such simple things but It physically hurts to run and jump. My fat and my boobs make it really hard to do that. So i look forward to in the future after I have lost most the weight, trying for the breast reduction and Tummy Tuck.< /p>

At my heaviest, I wore a size 20. But I have always fluctuated between a 16-18. I realize I am not the largest person here but I have very similar goals and wishes.

I can't wait to not wear layers in the summer time, to be able to just wear a tank top and a skirt, to be able to get sexy underwear that matches, to not worry about being the biggest person at the gym, to not hide from pictures, to not walk past all the cute clothes and suits in the store for the dreaded "plus" or "women's" section, and to not feel invisible when I walk past a nice looking guy. I can't wait to have a doctors appointment and NOT have weight be an issue.

But most of all, I can not wait to go and buy that ever-elusive "little black dress" (which for now is not so little).

I can't wait to go to a clearance rack at Charlotte forever 21 express and pick up a medium and it's so cheap! Big clothes never go on sale or there are no big sizes left! Oh and heels too!

I can't wait to go shopping for clothes in the same stores as my normal weight friends. I will also enjoy being able to try on clothes and ask for their opinions instead of simply being the friend that sits outside the changing rooms to say "that looks good" to every outfit my friends model.

I also will be so excited to be able to go in a normal size bathroom stall without basically standing on the toilet to be able to close the door.

I will also will enjoy when I can order food and not have to worry about people thinking "she is going to eat ALL of that?" or "no wonder why she is so big"

I'm sure I will have many more to post later <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

All of this sounds like my story! Good luck to you!

Wow. 0.o

I seriously never had a complex like those. The only thing that comes to mind is me riding my motorcycle. Fat guy on a little bike. Other than that people dont bother me. They just hate on me cause I am a privileged character. Everyone hates on people who got.

In my experiences watching people' date=' people tend to trade off. Meaning once you fit in that car, amusement ride, motorbike, hollister clothes you start another complex like my skin sags, im wrinkly, and so on. Its in everyones best interest to keep what I am saying in mind to avoid this from happening to you.

Good luck on breaking the cycle[/quote']

What does that mean, a priviledged character?

Charlotte Russe is so cheap isnt it?! They have cheap shoes, and other cute stuff. Skinny stores always have great prices in comparison. I can't wait to spend $5 on a shirt. Man... Once I get small... I'm going to be feeling so whell, acting like my sh*t doesn't stink. Hehehehe. Just loving it. :) I even recently lowered my goal. I mean my major goal is still the same, but I would be happy with a size 8.

I second everything that was said...and, I can't wait to buy something sexy to wear for my husband. He is my rock. And has loved me and called me beautiful regardless of what size I was...he is my hero. I also can't wait to look great in our family photos. We haven't ever done any with all of us. Because of my weight gain I didn't want to be in them. So much to look forward to!

so sweet! And naughty!

I cant wait to try on a NORMAL wedding gown!

I can't wait to wear jeans and a white t-shirt again (my uniform), walk without pain in my knees and feet, go to the beach without feeling embarrassed and not being invisible. Oh, while there are no guarantees, I am looking forward to living a longer, healthier, happier life >3

      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.
