Some of mine are:

- Horseback Riding: I used to do this, want to get back to it as an adult.

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

- learn to dance (swing, polka, two step, whatever)

- 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)

- learn to hoop dance

- go caving/ spelunking

- wear strapless dresses

- shop for pants in regular size stores

- share clothes with my sisters

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

      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.
