Whats On Your Bucket List?



Recommended Posts

1. Be able to keep up with my three year old and 9 month old without getting exhausted

2. Attend my husband's residency graduation (total 6 year surgical residency) next year in a rockin' dress

3. Have less foot and back pain

4. Enjoy our yearly trips to Thailand to visit family and not be obsessing at how I almost weigh as much as three small Thai girls! Also, to not feel so squished in my plane seat cause that's a long plane ride

5. Have my husband be as attracted to me as he used to be (he's loved me no matter what, though)

6. Enjoy all the beautiful beaches we vacation at without covering everything up

7. Get outside more - it's So-Cal for goodness sakes!

8. Raise my children without all the junk around I used to eat. I don't want to set them up to be obese too!

9. Travel, travel, travel! So many places to go, there's no time to be fat.

10. Shop, shop, shop! I used to love shopping for clothes and will again!

11. Wear my beautiful wedding ring - currently can't - sausage fingers : )

I just noticed your surgery is tomorrow! That is great!

oh.. another of my bucket list items would be...

to be able to travel and go to other countries without the natives automatically assuming that i'm an american, just because i'm fat.. >.<

when i was at a restaurant in asia there was this teenaged girl whose family owned the restaurant that i was eating in.. i heard the girl go "oh! an american.. do i say hi or hello?" lol which that's fine and all, but she said that just by looking at me, not because i was being obvious about my nationality or wearing anything with a flag on it or whatever.. the only tell tale sign was that i am fat... >.> so i'm looking forward for that change. lol when people don't know if i'm russian, german, english, canadian, south african, french or whatever... xD

Dorrie- You are right- I previously posted an ad neaseum list but when it comes down to it - being alive to actually BE a grandma (God willing) and being healthy and fit to enjoy this wonderful time in life would be the greatest thing of all! (Right now I'm dealing with 2 teenage girls-17&18- ohhh the grey hairs! My mantra, "This too shall pass!" thanks for making me think!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
