What's on your bucket list?



Recommended Posts

I was listening to my morning radio show today and they were talking about things on their bucket list. I realized that as I approach surgery in December, losing this weight for GOOD has always been my #1 bucket list thing. At 40, I grieve that I didn't do this sooner, but I'm happy that at 40, I (Lord willing) still have lots of time to finally begin living the life I always wanted. That includes other things on my bucket list. I'd love to go zip lining (even though I'm terrified of heights) I'd love to walk at least a portion of the Appalachian Trail, I would like to do a 5k, I would love to ride a roller coaster again, I would like to travel more, I might even go skydiving! What's on your bucket list?

ahhhhh YES! @@finediva definitely shoes! I have such awesome heels in my closet that I can't wear because the stress on my back from all the weight just won't allow it. BUT, I bet that when I lose the weight they won't fit anymore! Oh well... sell and rebuy, right?

@bobbyswife. Girl my size 11W didn't leave me many choices. At a 40lb plus loss I no longer need wide width. Yayyy! I used to be a 10, but ever time I had a child ( had three of them) my feet got bigger. Who knew. I don't think I'll go back to a 10, but I'm trilled not to need wide any more.

Disneyland. I've been there twice in my life and have obviously been obese both times, so I never felt comfortable.

Yosemite National Park. I went there this year for my birthday, but I want to go back and walk on a long trail or something!!

Awe Disney! I went for the first time 2 years ago. I remember feeling like a kid, but also feeling like my feet and back were killing me. Can't wait to go again!

on my bucket list.....skinny jeans!!! lol! I just want to be able to wear all the cute trendy stuff! And I would like to travel more. I want a redo of the cruise I went on this year so that I can be able to walk the whole ship without feeling like I'm going to die! I want to be able to wear a normal swimsuit and not a swim dress (although mine was cute lol) and a 2 piece would be AESOME!! And I want to take my baby to an amusement park and/or Water park and be able to keep up with his 3 year old energy!

on my bucket list.....skinny jeans!!! lol!

I tried on a pair of 34-waist, straight-leg jeans last... and they fit!!! But just barely, so I didn't buy them. Think I'll wait until they don't cause major muffin-top. Okay, now THAT goes on my muffin... I mean, bucket list. :wacko:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
