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!

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:

      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.
