Recommended Posts

I think about this all the time now...

When I'm thin again...i look forward to....

- Wearing high heels again

- Wearing boots!

- Wearing Jeans!! (I havent worn those in 4 years)

- Not always being out of breath

- Being in a photograph (won't get my pic taken)

- Not noticing yet again that i'm the largest person in the room

- Not making sure that my arms are always covered.

- Not having to catch my breath just walking up the stairs to go to bed

How 'bout you guys??

I plan to make my own clothes again - in just the style I prefer. blouses, suits, coats, trousers, skirts, dresses, pretty nightgowns.

I want prettier things, and better quality than I can get off the rack.

Not always being in pain (knee, back, ankle, hip)

Coming off meds

Feeling good physically and mentally

Not worrying if I'll fit in a booth or a seat at a venue (concert/sports)

Not appearing as though I may die after any activity

Wearing clothes that look good

Better sex life

Etc...

Boots

Wearing clothes for my age, not my moms age.

Being in pictures. My husband looks like a single dad in all my scrapbooks because I just hate to be photographed.

Not being the fattest one in the room, always.

Shopping with friends I always head to the shoes and purses.... Being able to just shop like a thin person.

Wearing a real bathing suit for the first time in my life and not just shorts and a t shirt.

Being able to join my friends when they do active activities

Being able to do the things I want to do and not being over the weight limit to do the activities

Being able to buy the cute trendy clothes and not the grandma clothes I have to wear now (nothing against grandmas but I'm 29)

Being able to try Aerials

Not having to buy 2 seats on an airplane or handicap seats at a concert so I can sit in a chair without arms

Have a better dating life (hopefully! Cuz dating sucks ????????)

Being able to have my picture taken without grimacing at the result

Have my grandma stop making remarks about my weight

Not being embarrassed to go out in public because everyone looks, scared someone will make a remark again

Being able to finally take a trip to Europe because I won't die from waking around

Being able to stop carrying around oxygen to help me breathe

So many more things! I'm just ready for my life to finally START!!!

Walking up a flight of stairs or hill with a "regular" person and not having to work hard to hide the fact that I am completely out of breath and can barely talk.

Tying my shoes

Fitting in chairs/booths better

Running around with my kid

Coming off my CPAP

Mostly simple things. I didn't like shopping when I was skinny so I don't think I will enjoy it that much when I am smaller.

      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.
