[Audrey523 55]

Tmi' date=' but my top 3 things are:

1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.

2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt

3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!![/quote']

OMH MGM. You are funny. This is hard to narrow the list to 3, but I'll play

1. Sitting with my knees together like a lady, not spread so far apart, like a truck driver

2. Weighing less then my husband does. 6'3 and within 5 pounds of 160 lbs for the last 27 years!

3. sleeping without my c-pap machine for sleep apnea.

The 3 things I'm most looking forward to are:

1. Taking a picture with my oldest son when he graduates from college this December

2. Taking a picture with my youngest son when he graduates from Basic Training in March of 2013

3. Taking a picture with my 2 daughters when they graduate from college in May 2013

Like most of us I have always hidden from the camera, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life taking picture with the ones I love! For me, this is about shedding my shame once and for all!!!

Ok so I'm not real sure what three things I want to list cause I have so many. We all share some of the same things. One of mine that I do look forward too and some may find this humorous. But I work on my parents ranch. I love riding horses, actually miss it. I don't ride much at all anymore cause I have dreams at night that my horse collapses when I saddle up. So I so look forward to feeling comfortable on my horse and not like I am gonna crush her and see her smushed to the ground with all for legs out to side.

lol awwww i love the visual..u wont have to worry about that soon! i want to go horse back riding when i drop some weight too!!!! good list!!!

My BMI is 44. It doesn't help that I'm stiff and my back hurts a lot! Skinny people just don't get it! I sure didn't imagine these things when I was skinny. So, when I am skinny again (i hope) i won't look at large people the same again...cause I know what we go through. Can't wait til this begins!!

Nice to see you over here ICandothis. I am very sorry I never thought to mention this forum to you when I first met you the other day. Exciting, our days are counting down so fast. I will try to look you up as soon as I get there if I am able. My name is Jennifer or Jenn as I usually go by.

This thread has gotten so big, I can't hardly keep up with everyone! I didnt tell you about it either I'm sorry. Welcome "I can do this".

Seems like those of us going to Dr.Alvarez are just staggered enough that we won't cross paths at the hospital. I wish we could at least pass each other in the hall while walking off our gas pains I guess we will just have to meet up at one of Dr.A's patient reunions. I am hoping he will have another cruise!

Thanks for telling me.....I will be able to see both storm and Joyce because I am in the middle.....I can send messages...hahahahahahahahahaha....I am on the liquid now and feeling good.....hugs all August sleevers

So my three things are a little different. I am a musical theater actress. I huge part of getting thisurgury is to broaden my career. So my t hree things are:

1. Being able to play more than a handful of lead roles and not always being the friend or the mom etc

2. Getting my headshot redone and being happy with it and confident sending it out!

3. Being able to cleanly land a triple pirouette again

4. Not being a problem for costume designers who always have to male my costume specially

So, what are 3 things your looking forward to doing when your thinner???

1. I love to cruise and go to the beach SO I look forward to being able to go to the beach with my husband and not feel so body conscious.

2. Being able to walk up the steps without taking the steps like I am 70. Hoping that losing weight and exercising more will increase my leg strength.

3. Shopping for cute clothes. Right now I HATE clothes shopping for all the obvious reasons.
