mnopali 16 Posted April 17, 2016 I'm just starting this process but there are SO MANY things I am so excited to be able to and feel once I've accomplished my surgery and weight loss. I'm excited to cross my legs again. I'm excited to stand for long periods of time without my feet feeling like they're going to EXPLODE. (I'm an RN at a busy dialysis center.) I'm excited to goto the amusement parks and not worry about fitting into ANY ride. I'm excited to just feel pretty again. I'm excited to have energy for my two little boys and not just plop down on the couch after 16 hours of work. I'm excited to not feel self conscious. I'm excited to see the looks on people's faces I haven't seen in a long time once I've transformed. I'm excited to go shopping. I'm excited to buy jeans and not live in black sweat pants. I'm excited to take my first ride on a plane. (Totally have been avoiding this) I'm excited to take selfies.. (let's face it.... You know you want to.) I'm excited to actually want to be in a family picture. I'm excited for energy. I'm just thankful I've decided to go through this process though people tell me it's the way way out. (What're they thinking anyhow!?) Hooray for upcoming excitement Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wendilin 29 Posted April 17, 2016 I sat down and made a list A- Z of why I wanted to do this. I showed by psych, my NUT, and my program RN. They all thought it was great and may suggest it to others. It's got a lot of non-health goals mixed in, like zip lining and cute clothes along with the he obvious health ones. Wendilin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
