Random Things To Look Forward To...



Recommended Posts

Just saw a commercial for a new roller coaster at a local amusement park. Haven't been on one in at least 10 years...

- sitting in a chair with arms and not having them dig into me

- shopping for clothes in a store, not online

- wearing cute shoes ( currently my left foot is an 11w and my right foot is a 10w LOL

- riding comfortably on a plane

Just some of the things I am thinking about :)

My husband and step son have season passes to Carowinds..... I didnt get one because everytime I go with them I just have to wait on the park bench until they finish riding. My husband and I went (just the two of us) about a year or so ago when the new ride came out in honor of Dale Earnhart Sr, we got to the point of sitting down, but my hipps wouldnt fit in the seat! I couldnt ride with him...I was so ashamed there in front of him and all the others waiting to ride. Just a short way in to the ride they snap a photo, and we bought one and it now hangs on our living room wall.... It serves as a reminder to me everyday that I should have been in the empty seat next to my hubby...and I have set a goal to ride it with him next summer! Wow, when I think of all that this weight has stopped me from enjoying, I am filled with anger and bitterness at myself!

I want to be able to go to sporting events and sit in a seat, or a movie theater (we have one in town that is old, has good movies but I can sit in the seats!)

I am looking forward to being able to use the regular bathroom stalls

sit in a booth

walk around the local mall without feeling like i need to sit because my legs and feet hurt !!!

most of all I am looking forward to riding on my hubbys harley with him and not looking stupid for being so big!! Oh the places we could travel....just the two of us.... cant wait!!!

I understand everything. I didn't realize how big I was till I couldn't fit on the roller coaster. It in the seat in my nephews school auditorium. I'm just happy by the end of the year this will change. Also next summer will be the beginning of my new life in 7 years. And also ill finally be able to get pregnant.

I feel your pain Kwal. I went to Fenway last month and was so uncomfortable. Gillette is tolerable. I'm just looking forward to getting things moving so I can enjoy life again!

Mami - 3 pregnancies in four years messed with my feet. I also broke an ankle 12 years ago si I compensate with the good foot.

Fenway should have topped my list. We have so many opportunities to go due to season tickets in the family and a relative who works for an affiliate. Love love love going but often pass because I sit on the very edge of the seat.

      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.
