male only NSGs

[cubbies76 132]

I realized today that I'm exactly 6 weeks out from my surgery. Being as close as it is, it got me thinking about my NSGs. Here are a few:

1) Being able to sit more comfortably in planes. I don't usually have to ask for an extender, but I have to cram myself into the seat.

2) Walking by the big and tall sections in department stores! This might be the one I'm looking forward to the most.

3) Losing the roll of fat around my wiener. I can grab a handful of it on each side. Think B cup and that's how much is down there.

4) Getting off is damn CPAP. The cardiologist that diagnosed me a couple months ago said that he didn't think I would get off it with the sleeve because how narrow my airway was and the size of my neck but we shall see about that!

5) Gaining more confidence with the ladies. Every time I've lost a significant amount of weight, my confidence with the ladies goes way up. #s 3 & 4 might come in handy then

6) Running a 10k. I've done 5ks in the past (but not recently) and I'd like to be able to do a 10k.

7) improving my golf game

I'm sure there are more, but that's what I've come up with so far. What NSGs did you fellas have?

Big ones for me were/are:

Run a 5K (on Week 8 of Couch to 5K right now). Race is in October.

Doing a pull-up....work in progress.

Sitting in a booth in a restaurant comfortably

Never breaking another lawn chair

Having Mr. Happy get bigger, longer, harder, more long-lasting, etc.

Never walking into a Big and Tall again.

Except for the pull-up, all done. It's a wonderful thing.

Haha very much the same with you guys

1. Never have to ask for a chair not being able to fit in a booth

2. Having a girlfriend now say I can't go all the way in haha (thank you sleeve)

3. Being able to go down the street and find clothes that fit giving the finger to every big and tall sign I see

4. Confidence is sky high

Same here. Love my sleeve

What NSGs did you fellas have?

Being able to sleep flat in a bed after 13 years of sleeping reclined.

It'd be nice to never have to use the CPAP again.

Never having to walk into a Big and Tall store ever again.

Never having to think twice about sitting in a booth at a restaurant.

Never setting off another car alarm as I walk by.

I should add one to the list: enjoying a summer where I can not have to deal with being miserably hot all the time.

Mine was getting out of a chair without pushing on table or desk

Walking more than 150 feet

walking to hunt

playing with my kids

work on cars(old junk)

[natedog51 34]

1. Riding on rides at amusement parks with my kids.

2. Being able to tie my shoes without gasping for air.

3. To run in a 5k.

4. To get in a booth at a restaurant without feeling like a sardine in a can.

5. To fly without having to ask for an extender.

6. To have a high self confidence when in a meeting.
