Definitely to fly on a plane without the extension and to be comfortable. To not have to wear stretchy pants, and to wear heals again.

I can't wait to feel comfortable in my own skin, to not have my thighs rub together, to meet new people and not think that they must be thinking how fat I am. To not be looked at by other people (particularly men) like I'm invisible. To have clothes that fit properly- no matter the size I wear, not all of the outfit fits my body- leaving some loose some tight (make sense?). This is my big one....to sit in a chair and not try and have most of the weight taken on my legs for mortal fear of the chair collapsing underneath me. And my other big one- to sit down at a cafe/restaurant and eat/drink without being out of breath or can't eat as my fat squishes my stomach making me feel ill. To not take several attempts to get out of my couch, shuffling my big fat bum further to the end of the seat to get up. To one day have someone look further than my skin folds and fall in love with me as a person. To no longer have guys drunkingly confess that they really like who I am but can't get past the weight factor. Needless to say- I will NOT be giving them another chance on the future!

Looking umm down and seeing something other then my boobs or 1st and 2nd tummy roll :P

Running down steps and not worrying that I'll set off a 5.0 quake :P

Not making that sound when I get up out of a chair :P

And not to forget that clapping sound that happens when I move fast and it's not my hands :P yeah never hearing that again will be nice lol

Can't wait to not hear "...but you have such a pretty face" said to me directly as if it's a compliment!

Can't wait to rock the fashion and styles I truly love and that's fitting for a trendy 28-year old girl!

Can't wait to not be the "fat friend".

I am new to this and this is my first post... Me and my husband took our kids on a family day a couple weeks ago, they all wanted to go to kart country. I was thinking in the back of my mind family fun for who them because i couldn't race cars, so there i was on the side lines watching everyone having fun but my 375 pound butt.... Its hard having a husbsnd that is so small and doesn't understand and don't care....wish he told me i was pretty....

Wear boots for the first time in my life

Walk without sweating to death

Wow - we are on three pages already!

I can commiserate with so many of these posts. Yes, having people not wonder what in the world my husband sees in me. That's a big one. Not having my grocery cart looked at sideways. To not have to stand behind the toilet to close a door in a public bathroom stall...

      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.
