What Are You Most Looking Forward To?



Recommended Posts

Postoperative? Not just good health, that is definitely the most obvious... What ELSE are you excited about in your new healthy body? Roller coasters. Parasailing. All those fun things you long to do but cause the words "weight limit" or maximum capacity" to scream in your brain like a neon warning sign in your brain.

Zip lining and riding a horse are two others besides roller coasters. I have always avoided Disney World due to my size but I'm looking forward to going. :)

Oh, I have so much on this list!

I would ilke to:

fit in a booth at a restaurant.

fit in an economy car WITH a seatbelt!

cross my legs

see my collarbones. I KNOW THEY ARE THERE.

Basically, to see all the bones most people see that are covered in fat - like my ankles, kneecaps, etc.

I'd love to ride roller coasters again. I loved them when i was younger, but can't fit on them now.

I want to roller skate again. It was my favorite mode of transportation when I was a kid, but I'm too big and uncoordinated to even try it now.

I'd love to go snorkeling/scuba diving.

Heck, I'd like to FLY somewhere. i've never flown! I know if I can't fit on a roller coaster, I'm gonna have issues with a plane. Haven't even bothered trying!

I want to buy clothes in regular stores. As it is, I have to order pants off the internet. :\ very inconvenient, and embarrassing.

AND - I wanna date! I want just a shred of self-confidence to put myself back on the dating market. :)

That's just a short list!!

1. Walking around butt-a$$ naked in front of my husband without embarrassment. :)

2. Zip lining is a must. (Most have 200 lb. limit) :(

3. Going to Bora Bora. I do not care about wearing a bikini. I just don't want someone to try and rescue the beached whale.

4. NEVER buying clothes in a plus-size store again. Frumpy is not what I feel like.

5. Crossing legs. Not like a man, like a lady.

6. To be extraordinarily comfortable in my own skin.

Ordering clothes off the Internet because I want to, not because I have to.

Not hiding behind people in pictures.

Not being self conscious that people are judging me by what I eat.

Wearing a bathing suit without wanting to cry.

Being happy! Something so Simple yet so hard to comeby. Once I am happy in my own skin... not feeling embarrassed, ashamed, or guilty... then everything else will fall into place. I want to live again.

Running, shopping in the regular size section, not being ashamed to wear a swimsuit, buying pretty panties, looking hot on the back of my hubby's Harley, not being the fat friend. The list goes on and on...

Having thighs that don't catch on fire from rubbing.

Fitting into hot, high heels without looking like Miss Piggy.

Wearing a choker without choking.

Actually not fitting into clothes because they get too big instead of too small.

Walking into Ann Taylor, banana, etc. and not just buying jewelry.

Being cold instead of hot all the time (may be just "lady troubles" lol)

Not being so invisible when hanging out with a skinny friend.

Getting "that" look again from my husband...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
