What Do You Want To Do When You Are Healthier?



Recommended Posts

I want to run! I want to wear cute clothes, shop at "normal" clothing stores, wear a dress or skirt, wear shorts, go to the beach, go anywhere I want and not worry about whether or not I will fit in the seating, ride a bike, and wear high heels again. I miss wearing high heels! Ooh ooh and knee high boots! I want to wear knee high boots. I also want to plant a huge, beautiful flower garden and a little vegetable garden, and do all the work myself, because I can.

Maybe these were mentioned already...I want to fit comfortably in college desks, so I can enjoy learning without having to worry about feeling self conscience or squashed, I want to go to six flags and fit on rides without a shadow of doubt, I want to go shopping in a store that sells "normal" sizes and not have to compromise fashion because I'm plus sized, I want to walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath, I want to take my dogs for a walk and run...because they deserve it as much as I do, I don't ever want to worry about walking into a room full of people and feeling like all their eyes are on me (for the wrong reason), I want to go to the beach without feeling judged, I want to go out to eat without feeling judged, I want to sit on a chair or couch that won't squeak and complain because of my size, I want to parade around in sexy lingerie for my fiance, because he can't understand why I don't feel comfortable wearing it, I want to buy clothes with normal prices and not have to pay extra for bigger sizes, I want to ride a horse, pedal on a bicycle, not fear being judged, walk without my legs hurting, not miss another family outing because I'm uncomfortable, have the energy to live and make friends, find a job a lot easier since despite what anyone says...weight is always a factor in everything...and just breathe a bit easier...both physically and of course, mentally. Most of all, I just want to live.

Just curious what other's goals are after loosing weight? Your living bucket list...

Personally' date=' I'm hoping to enjoy amusement parks again with my family, not feeling alone in a crowded room and (hopefully) going skydiving again.[/quote']

I think I'll enjoy wearing a bikini for the first time since I was 7? And wearing sexy clothes!!

And I know this is a bit personal but I can't wait to try new positions in the bedroom with my husband. We usually stick to 2 positions because I get outta breath doing anything different.

OMG yes beanzilla! I tried all last year to find a pair of knee high boots that looked great on me and failed. I'm def gonna get a pair and I also want a one shoulder dress and the high heels to match. I so love shopping for shoes but when you're overweight it's like having balls and chains wearing you down while you walk, your off balance and the heels dig into the ground.

Yes, yes, yes, SweetTee! I love shoes too! I have so many gorgeous shoes that I haven't been able to wear in a few years. I almost sold them last year. I'm really glad I didn't! And I can't wait to buy new heels!

I so agree with everyone-especially the sex. lol

Feels better to know I'm not the only one that avoids social situations. Tired of fighting with hubby because I want to wear a large baggy t-shirt and stretch jeans when I go out. If I dress up i feel like a cow with lipstick. Love to feel normal again. Love to not come home and cry because after spending the afternoon shopping for clothes all I am is tired and more aware of how much weight i've put on.

Just got back from the local fair and saw several ladies wearing sundresses. I've never been a dress person but I am EXCITED about possibly wearing one and feeling lite and carefree. Don't know how the flabby "funbags" will survive this, so not sure i'll be able to do that, but the thought is nice.

You will do great. And I think you will look great too. Don't worry about all that. Oh and clothes shopping? Uh totally agree with you! I hate it!

I want to get married and have children.

I want to do a mud run.

I want to get a massage.

I want to travel.

Ditto what everyone else said regarding amusement parks, fitting in places, etc.

I want to live a long, healthy life.

Not too personal at all.

Add that to my list... I wanna be on top. And look good in positions that aren't just horizontal :)

      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.
