Fun thread !

[kdelrosso 124]

I was looking in on the post op forum and I got this idea from them. They were all saying what they were excited/happy about since having the surgery.

I'm curious what are you looking forward to being able to do or see in yourself.

Me? I can't wait to see my collar bones again, to be able to cross my legs like a woman and to be able to sit with my knees to my chest.

What about you??

Being able to workout with out my knee hurting, shopping, thighs not needing diaper rash ointment, and most of all looking in the mirror and being happy with who is looking back.

Not having my hips squished when I'm on a plane! Being able to keep up with my fit friends when we're walking around the city, participating in fun 5k races, shopping in the same stores as my friends, not waking up with crazy lower back pain every day..

I think I could go on forever!

I am looking forward to so many things!!

Crossing my legs

Fitting comfortable on a plane

Running a 5k, 10k, marathon

Shopping in the room full of clearance clothes at forever21

Wearing jeans and liking it

Borrowing my fiancés clothes and not just his oversized sweatshirts

Being picked up more often by my fiancé

Being carried over the threshold after we wed

Liking pictures that are taken of me

Showing my body in pictures

And really, just so much more as I have never been thin

Can't wait!!

Being carried over the threshold is also one of mine. I get married in 10 months. That was a good one !

There are just so many things to be excited and thankful for ❤️❤️ i can't wait to start seeing results after the surgery !!!

I commend all of you looking to do marathon type runs !! I would love to do them. Unfortunately due to my cervical spine being fused for a second time last month there will be no running or strenuous workout in my future but I can be thankful for my mom and dad buying me a treadmill for Christmas so I can make sure I do my walking especially during the winter months !!

I made this list before surgery. I wrote this list in my phone and added to it anytime I thought of anything. I'm posting this without reading it. I haven't thought about this list since before surgery. Be kind who knows what I wrote.

Loose the extra weight

* Learn how to surf- I am a Water baby, who loves the ocean, I want to learn a new way to enjoy it.

* Learn how to scuba dive- once again I am a Water baby, love the ocean and want to experience all it had to offer.

* Swim with sharks

* Be able to run without it being a difficult activity- at least a mile

* Have children

* Be able to ride an airplane with our being self conscious about it

* Once I have had children or a child or even adopted if necessary be able to play with them on the floor or run after being able to enjoy life with them.

* Sky diving-they want individual to be under 250 and I'm not.

* Be able to walk into a store and be able to find something that fits without to many issues.

* Be able to buy a crappie bra from the store-just once

* Not having to shop at lane Bryant
