What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?

[stephF 5]

Can't wait to get back in the gym

I can't wait to buy boots that come up my calf and comfortably wear heels.

Buy normal bra and panty sets from the store without having to order.

Fit in my bathtub comfortably

And I know it's bad but I can't wait to take one bite out of done Popeye's chicken!

I dream of the day that my husband can give me a piggy back ride.

Things I'm looking forward to post-op:

Arthritis pain in knees easing up

Back pain diminishing

Cleaning out my closet of all the oversized clothes that are temporarily in there

Having active hobbies

Air travel with much greater ease....just complaining over legroom

Perhaps a new car once I reach goal

[LoggedOutForGood 233]

These are all great things to look forward to. I think my top five are:

1. Having more energy to keep up with my three boys and husband

2. No more GERD!

3. No seat belt extenders on an airplane (I travel to FL once or twice a year to see my best friends and dread it every time!)

4. Buying smaller clothes and not having to shop at Lane Bryant where you leave broke nine times out of ten.

5. food. I don't care what my first bite of real food will be, or how small my portion is - one bite is better than 0! (can you tell I'm tired of liquid diets already, and I'm still pre-op?? LOL

So happy for everyone and wish everyone the best of luck on their WLS journeys!! xo

So what kind of diet is pre- op. And same for post-op? Want to try some things now before I really have to be on the diet.

4) Being able to have my sprained ankle heal

5) Getting rid of my joint pain

6) Not being sweaty all the damn time and get rid of my chronic chaffing/rashes!

7) Being able to marry my wonderful fiancee without feeling insecure on one of the best days of our lives.

8) Spending less on Groceries!!!!!

9) Waking up energized- feeling more energized throughout the day.

10) Avoiding as many health problems as I possibly can.

11) Being able to have a much healthier pregnancy when the time is right.

12) Not having to say "I can't right now, I'm in so much pain" when my Fiancee wants to take a long trail walk with me.

13) Not have people overlook me for opportunities- jobs, friends, etc.

14) The Pride! Knowing that I did what was best for me, and I gave it my all.

I could keep going, but i will save you guys! lol

Some things I can't wait for post-op:

• Wearing clothes that I love and not just what fits (and let's be real, paying a premium for plus size clothes sucks!)
• Shopping anywhere I want!
• Fitting into airplane seats/amusement park rides without fear
• Not being the 'fat mom' or 'fat friend'
• Relieving pressure from my ankles and knees so I can run another half marathon
• Being a healthy example for my two little girls
• Keeping up with my husband
• NO MORE GERD!

My list is pretty endless but those are the top for now

Tall boots... And lots of them

On top of everything everyone is saying....

I'm looking forward to be more healthy. . to revise type 2 diabetes. .. And to be able to bend down to the floor without losing my breath!

[heather5565 959]

I can't wait to not feel so ashamed of myself. I can't wait for the low self esteem to ease up.

I can't wait to be proud of myself for a job well done.

I can't wait for people to look at me differently.

I can't wait to be an inspiration to others.

I can't wait for my very active friends to ask and include me for hikes and mountain biking etc again. I haven't been asked for a long time.

I can't wait to wake up happy and looking forward to the day.

I can't wait for good sleeps where I don't worry about everything.

I can't wait to test my strength and push myself - exercise wise.

Of course I can't wait for small clothes and everything else everyone else has said too.

But most of all....

I can't wait to be me again.

[newmebithebypass 713]

I can't wait to retake my wedding pictures.

To go to a Halloween party in a sexy costume that I can buy at Goodwill for cheap.

To spend less on cloths that I actually like.

To be able to chase around my nieces and nephews

To be intimate with my hubby more than twice a month and enjoy it and not be in pain

Am feeling really impatient waiting on health cover time frame to pass.

can't wait till I have the sleeve done so I can have energy and feel confident and can look normal and not someone who's regarded as the fat one by those who don't know my name.
