What are some of your goals?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious what some of your non scale goals are? Or if you have already had them??

Kind of silly, but I want to be able to do a cart wheel. Never in my life have I and I'm putting it on my to do list!! :)

Being able to squat down to put my shoes on without gasping for oxygen would be one of mine.

Roller coasters!! I want to ride roller coasters! I love them and miss them. And kayaking!! I am too heavy for even a two-person kayak. I want to go kayaking, I want to buy one and own it and love it as my very own. I want a trailer to carry my kayak and I want to trick it out with camping gear... Which reminds me oh yeah I'm too big for a sleeping bag, and nevermind one of those mummy bags.... SIGH!! So I want all that.

One of my friends who has recently been sleeved told me to make a list of my goals. Here are some of the things I cant wait to do....

1. Confidently wear a bathing suit in public...preferably a tankini.

2. Ride a go cart

3. Not have to turn sideways to pass thru the gate at the metro station

4. Wear a pair of low rise jeans

5. Wear a pair of high top uggs and have them come ALL the way up my legs.

6. Wake up without my feet aching.

7. Comfortably ride on a roller coaster with my husband.

8. Proudly post full body shots on Facebook and instagram instead of just face shots.

9. Wear a pair of denim shorts in the summer...I always wear capris because i hate my legs!

Hope this helps...

Not worry about not being able to fit on a roller coaster.

Sit on my husband's lap again.

Run and play with my daughter without getting winded.

Comfortably sit on a swing.

Hopefully one day I'll be comfortable enough in clothing to not be constantly adjusting/pulling/tugging at my clothes... it drives me mad!!! Also crossing my legs. I do the fat girl cross right now and its only comfortable for so long so I have to keep switching legs!

Weigh less than my husband

Sit in a chair without my hips touching the sides

Not worry if the seatbelt on a roller coaster is going to fit

Shop in the non plus size section and have clothes fit great

Run the camp Pendleton 5k mud run with my husband!

I really wanted smaller feet that didn’t happen I didn’t lose bone length in them lol
The only things I really wanted to happen honestly was for some of my doctors to be right and that the hormones released that were stored in my fat cells did reverse the borderline cancer biopsies I was getting and not have to have treatment or end up having a hysterectomy if it went full blown cancer.
I also wanted my sleep apnoea gone and that did happen.
I never really had other goals just smaller and healthy goals met on them!

      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.
