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!

      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.
