Wenjea 1 Posted May 4, 2007 It's so good to hear from all you newly banded ones. Every time you say it went well and it's not that bad I get less nervous. I started my liquid pre-op today and am feeling many hunger pains but I am determined to do this right. One day down and only 44 to go!!!! I'm running this race to win!!!!

Shar 0 Posted May 4, 2007 I'm new and I'm scared. I am questioning if I'm doing the right thing and yet I know I am....Do I sound confused...well yes, I suppose I do. Its just coming on fast and I have so many questions and so many new experiences to look forward to. Plus the actual surgery is frightening and what to look forward to after doesn't sound pleasant. I'm going to be 60 yrs old on May 14 . Yes, I'm older and my health is great , except for this weight is taking its toll on my joints. I can hardly walk at times. I want to be healthier and that is the bottom line. Sorry if I'm rambling... Is anyone out there in a similar situation with the age and the fear issue ( although I think the fear issue must be universal). After reading some of the posts I am feeling that there are not many older people having this surgery done. Although I don't feel old, just the numbers tell me so.:nervous I just need some of you to be there to comfort an old Granny. Shar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amy 0 Posted May 4, 2007 Welcome Shar! You're not old! And you are only going to feel younger after the weight comes off. Nerves seem to be a very normal part of our process, but the more you read and the more support you get from the ones who have gone before you, the less nerve racking it gets and the more positive you will become that you are doing the right thing. I'm a little scared about all the changes I'm about to make, but I see so many people that have had wonderful success and I know I can do it too. The May Banders are very supportive, so stick with us and we will get through this together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shar 0 Posted May 4, 2007 I just felt so alone, having your reply has been a great source of well.. comfort. Thanks so much. I'm going to scour the May post and get more information which I know will help also. Shar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shar 0 Posted May 4, 2007 Please add me to your calendar..my surgery is on the 8th. I see others who have gone before me and it gives me courage. Shar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twinmommy 0 Posted May 4, 2007 A list of all the reasons I would like to lose 100 lbs. 1. to be able to bend over and tie my shoes and breathe at the same time 2. to lose my apron (if you know what I mean, say Amen) 3. to stop giving Lane Bryant so much money 4. to be active with my kids 5. to feel like being more "active" with my husband 6. to set a better example for my kids 7. to not always be the largest person in the room 8. so all of my pant will no longer have those lovely worn spots where my thighs rub 9. To wear a skirt and not get a rash on my thighs 10. to be able to cross my legs 11. to be able to pass by someone and not feel like my huge @ss is gonna knock them over 12. to wear "cute" undies again... shop at Victoria's Secret again! (no more granny panties) 13. so I don't have to suck my stomach in all the time. 14. So I won't have to constantly be re-arranging my clothes to make sure all of my lumps and bumps are covered appropriately. 15. so I can fit comfortably in an airplane seat 16. So I won't have to wear a full-length trench coat to the beach (exaggeration, but you get what I mean) 17. So when I want to walk at lunch with the girls, I can keep up with them and not feel self-conscsious because I'm breathing heavier than they are. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->18. So I can give myself a pedicure! 19. not be ashamed to be in a FULL LENGTH picture! 20. So I can ride roller coasters. 21. To maybe be able to wear a sexy nightie for my hubbie and look good in it..... 22. To be able to wear a pair of jeans that zip and not be pull-ons 23. So I will be willing to have my picture taken again. 24. Dance again, it wears me out right now. 25. Play with my children till I can't play anymore. 26. Scuba Dive, waterski, volleyball, hiking 27. Look cute in clothes. 28. Be more outgoing and confident. 29. Be comfortable with this body to show it off a little. 30. Have a glamour shots session. 31. Lay out on the boat in a bikini while cruising the lake. 32. I want to be able to tuck in a shirt again....I know its not the style but I still would like to have the option. 33. I want to walk up stairs and be able to talk when I get to the top. 34. I want to live long enough to drive my kids crazy and spoil the grandkids! 35. Enjoying snowboarding, wakeboarding and hiking without it feeling like a chore. 36. To be in pictures and not hide behind someone (like that helps). 37. I want to get out of bed without the feeling of rolling out of bed. 38. Dance at parties.....in a dress!!! OMG 39. I would like to be able to hug my husband real close without my big belly getting in the way. 40. I want to be able to buy a 'girlie' souvenier t-shirt when I go to theme parks, carnivals, shows, etc... instead of boxy tee shirts because those are the only ones that fit. 41. Shopping in "normal" stores. Avenue gets OLD! 42. Having normal looking backs of my knees (odd I know) 43. Doing things with my kids without guilt or worry that I will injure myself or get too tired. 44. Feeling good about myself 45. riding dirt bikes and my dh's motorcycle 46. being able to go go more than 2 minutes on a stairmaster without stopping 47. being able to use step stools and chairs without worrying they will break <!-- / message --><!-- sig --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->48. In case of emergency, I want to be able to go into a normal sized clothing store and buy whatever I need. And one more - 49. When I go on vacation and forget to pack something, again to be able to go into a store and not have to worry if they will have something in my size! 50. I want to be able to go clothes shopping without getting depressed. I want to be able to ride Roller Coasters with my family. 51. To not freak out when the waiter wants to put you in a booth. Am I gonna fit?!? 52. All the good clearance clothes are in small sizes.<!-- / message --> 53. To not be the fat one in all family pictures. 54. To not be so stinkin tired and achy all of the time. 55. To have a lap for my daughter to sit in again! <!-- / message --><!-- sig --> 56. To get into and out of a canoe or kayak gracefully and without fear of sinking the vessel! 57. To sit in a chair with arms and not fear it will come with when you stand up! 58. To quit having to stretch my shirt over my knees while squatting, just so it hangs a little looser (and then have trouble getting back up!) 59. So the top of my pants stop flipping over, because my belly is so big and lops over the top. 60. So the bed will stop making noise when I get in. 61. So I can stop putting powder under my "apron" everyday. 62. To be "active" with my hubby during the day or with the lights on and not freak out about it the whole time. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->63. I want my WHOLE BODY to stop moving when I stop moving (not 2-3 seconds later when I stop j i g g l i n g).. 64. I want to be able to shower without having to *ahem* 'lift' any body parts for cleaning. :-) 65. to have more hot Water & my honey in the bath (less of me), really tired of sloshing water out when I get in 66.<!-- / message --><!-- sig --> I want to be able to shave and not have any missed spots because I couldnt reach or see it.....<!-- / message --><!-- sig --> 67.
