Things that I can't wait for or even imagine!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is booked for August 4 and here are some things that I can't wait for or even imagine doing!

1. Crossing my legs

2. Putting on shoes/ runners without discomfort

3. Wrapping a normal towel around me and it fitting

4. Not wearing a seat belt extender on the plane

5. Not worrying about sitting on camping chairs

6. Not worrying about bumping into people

7. My knees not hurting when I walk

8. Loving walking my dogs it's dreadful now

9. Not being ashamed and wondering if people are talking about me

10. To love my body instead of hate it

11. A better relationship with food I currently hate food and what it does to me

J Boyd 2014 -

You have sooooo much to look forward to. I never imagined meeting any of the goals you've listed but I have in less than 3 months. I was sleeved on March 19 and have lost 65 lbs so far. Hopefully that gives you a little sneak peak of what to expect. Best of luck to you on your journey! !

How about...

Painting my OWN toenails

Doing yard work all morning and having the energy to go out and do something fun later

Enjoying normal blood pressure, cholesterol and sugars, MED FREE

Trotting up 4 flights of stairs with my computer backpack on every morning instead of waiting for the elevator

Having my butt and my purse both fit in the movie theater seat together

How about

* Fitting comfortably in my bath tub.

* Being at a BMI that I would be eligible to adopt from China or other countries that have weight restrictions if we want to.

Plus many that you all listed above.

In addition to all those fabulous things, I am looking forward to not getting squeezed when I sit in booths in a restaurant. (And not having my boobs sitting on the table in front of me! That'd be nice. I'm tired of the three of us having lunch together!)

And for the arm rest in my car to go all the way down.

And to wear something besides black stretchy shorts and Just My Size tee shirts in the summer. Most boring summer wardrobe EVER!

Also, I want to get into my husband's pants. Like, literally. I've never been small enough to borrow his clothes, and I SO want to!

Congratulations on you date and the day that will be a new beginning. Follow your Doctors order and the plan, it does work! Try not to sweat the stalls, they are normal. There will be lots of firsts and things to look forward to! Enjoy the journey and the milestones! This will change your life in so many ways!

I was sleeved in September of 2013 (my new life birthday). I don't regret having the surgery for a second. I'm down 116 pounds and 22 pounds from goal weight. I love the fact that I got to cancel the Lane Bryant/Roamans credit card. I can buy clothes anywhere! I cried in Kohls when a large fit me! The space between and table had me in tears also. The icing on the cake has been in the last 2 weeks. I have had 2 people that I have known for over 10 years walk past me and didn't know who I was until I spoke!

Best of luck to you and a speedy recovery! Use this sight, it has a wealth of knowledge and SUPPORT!

i look forward to NOT being asked by my clients "When are you due"? (and having to tell them, 'i'm just fat')...

I'm SO looking forward to doing things with my kids, and taking a much-delayed family vacation where I can do more than just watch.

      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.
