Looking for ideas on what I'll be able to do at goal weight



Recommended Posts

I have a few things I'm excited about being able to do, like
Not getting out of breath when doing normal things
Being able to fit on a roller coaster
Not shopping in plus sized section
Swimming in bathing suit instead of shirt and shorts
building muscles up

What are some things I might be able to do? What some things you're looking forward to being able to do?
I'm getting excited thinking about it!

Flying more comfortably, being able to zip line on vacation, play with my kids, run a 5k someday, stop needing my CPAP. Those are the big ones.

Day to day, it's about doing things more easily: shave my legs, cross my legs, get up and down off the floor, keep up with housework, etc.

Like you, clothes shopping is a huge one! I'm almost 2 weeks post op, so no need to yet, but I'm so excited! Also, I'm looking forward to cleaning out my closet and rediscovering old clothes that I out grew years ago.

Yess, girl! Same as you, I have a whole wardrobe of clothes I can't fit into until I reach my goal weight! I can't wait to wear them again!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
