Does anyone have dreams they wanted to accomplish after weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I want to have a Spanx bonfire and burn every piece of Shapewear I own. Also it would be nice to sit indian style in a airplane seat. I've seen grown adult women do this and looked on in amazement. lol. Lastly, I'd like to particpate in a race and not have partipants and bystanders alike yell YOU GO GIRL as i pass by. Yes, America larger people run races.

I have so many things! When I think about all the possibilities that this procedure can open up for me I can't stop smiling! The biggest one though is to be able to conceive a child. My husband and I have tried for so long and my doctors seem to think that my weight contributes to the problem conceiving. I can start trying to conceive 2 years post op and the thought that our dreams might finally come true is amazing! I've just started on my journey so it will be a while before this happens, but the possibilities are endless!

I love to travel and take lots of beautiful pics when I'm on a trip. I can't wait until I feel confident enough to actually BE in the pictures again.

I also think that hiking is going to be alot more fun without the extra 90 lbs to carry up the hill!

I've always wanted to volunteer for Search & Rescue in my county. I live in a heavily active, 4 season community. There are people lost in the snow every winter, out in the desert every summer, hiking trails, River rescues..... Every November they out a news article out seeking volunteers, every November I say "next year is the year" I am going to do it!

Lots of stuff but the first few that come to mind are having more energy to play with my daughter, the ability to cross my legs, buying clothes off the racks and not from plus size stores, being in photos... EEEEK!!! I can't wait!

I'm so glad you mentioned crossing your legs! I thought I was the only one that thought about stuff like that. Lol I always felt silly for thinking it! ????

I want to fall in love again. Maybe get married again someday. I want to wear clothes that I like, not a size 2x. I would love to ride rides at an amusement park again or go to Water World. I want to wear high heels and boots that fit over my fat calf. I want this "food monkey" off of my back! I want to conquer my shyness and get more confident about myself. And just think how much money we're going to save by not being fat anymore! Being skinny is not as expensive as being fat. :D

I want to run a 5K.

Also, I want to go up the Great Wall. I visited several years ago and I knew even if I made it up all the stairs, I'd never get back down again without help.

This one isnt a dream, but I'm really looking forward to crossing my arms without my boobs getting in the way.

      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.
