- kayaking: I've been too afraid I wouldn't fit in the hole.

- wear boots that come up to my knee! I plan to buy a few pairs when I get to non-wide calf size

- run a 5K

- learn the silks (like P!nk does)

My bucket list is more emotional than a 'to do' list.

  • I want to buy obscenely expensive clothing.
  • I want to be thinner than my sister for the first time in my life. (and revel in the shock on her face when she finally sees me)
  • I want to bump into my ex fiance and his midget, size minus 4 wife and feel ab-so-lute-ly bloody fabulous!
  • I would like, for once, for someone not to say 'you're a big girl'.
  • I would love to try on a wedding dress and feel like the most beautiful girl in the world - not a frump who fights back tears, feeling like a failure.
  • I would like to feel positive about my forthcoming nuptials and being in front of people and their cameras.
  • I want to be physically 'normal' and happy.

That is all....

I want to...(in no particular order)

Walk into a room and not worry or think about if I'm the fattest one there.

Feel attractive.

Have the energy to be a mom that can do active things with her son - maybe embarrass him by breaking out into a river dance in front of his friends..

Take the 3 mile uphill hike up to the lake.

Run. Run with wild abandonment.

Have my picture taken - there has to be some documented proof that I existed.

Smile. A lot. I have a lot of time to make up for.

Shop for clothes in the Misses section, not in the plus department that has the worse selection and prints that look like they belong on a 1970's vintage couch or window covering. (Sore spot, obviously)

Sit in a chair and not worry that the creek I'm hearing is the chair asking for help or a warning it's going to break.

Sit in a booth...comfortably.

Have my wedding rings fit comfortably and not look like they are forced on a Breakfast sausage.

Take a walk without fearing some smart ass kid isn't going to yell something out the window of his car at me like "Speed up!" "It's going to take more than a walk!"

Not fear seeing old friends.

Be proud of myself.

OK - that's enough for now.

Gear to see this thread. A couple of things that have been on my bucket list:

Lose a. Minimum of 100 lbs. and keep it off.

Go to a spa and not worry about the masseuse measuring my fat.

Wear an expensive pair of heels (aka "****" shoes)

Wear a knit dress and not worry about lumps and bumps.

Maybe meet Prince Charming and have a marvelous love affair.

And, most of all, live out the rest of my life healthy and without pills.

No sitting with legs crossed for me. While I DO want to be able to, even thin I won't. Vascular damage in leg says no-no. Oh well...I can live with that! LOL

      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.
