What NSV do you hope for post op?

[LoveMyBypass 251]

I have a few that I am happy about being able to do soon.

*** Sitting on a chair without my arms folded in front of me to hide my flubbers.

*** Being comfortable enough to wear a bathing suit to the beach.

*** Not being so insecure that I need a jacket everywhere I go to hide my body.

*** My back, ankle and knee not hurting anymore.

*** Taking a crazy amount of pictures at places I go to.

I'm tired of being ashamed of my appearance... Good luck to everyone!

Going back to belly dance. I don't like "exercise" but I love to dance. I'm so out of shape now my heart rate maxes out just walking for a few minutes. In the same vein, I want to drag my husband to swing dance lessons.

Other than that, many of the same things other people have said - fit in "normal" chairs and airline seats, shop at "regular" clothes stores, less pain in joints.

I can relate to a lot of things other posters said. The one thing I can't wait for is being able to get a shoulder purse that fits my arms and looks proportionate to my body.

Jumping on a trampoline, swinging, riding rides with my daughter.

Not sweating all the time.

Being able to wear non plus size clothes.

My husband being able to pick me up .

Getting my sex drive back!

So many more things, these were just the first I thought of.

For starters:

Being able to play with my 8-yr old son more. He just came in the room and told me "your the best dad ever." All three of my kids are great but I've gotten better now since my wife and I have 3 (no more!) I just want to run and play with my baby. Take walks with him, take him to the zoo, hiking in caverns, and go to his school to pick him up without feeling self conscious about how I look. This is my #1 NSV

I'm simple, my wake up call was the team of guys at 6 flags that had to push down on the roller coaster safety bar so I could ride.

I just want to get on and secure the safety bar without a team pushing

My biggest NSV is to be able to find a pair of knee high boots in a normal store.

Another is to ride Dragon Challenge at universal Orlando!
