What's on your bucket list?



Recommended Posts

Tell me... what is on your bucket list now that you have reached a non-scale victory (NSV) or ultimate goal?

Is there something you want to do that you've never dreamed of doing?

Spill it!

I've been at goal for a little over two years and life is awesome!

I do mud runs with my kids, I am a martial arts instructor, I run the dunes in Kill Devil Hills, I Zumba. I am no longer self conscious of my size when I travel, I can fit in airplane seat and down the aisles of various means of transportation without have to shuffle sideways sucking in my gut. Theatre seats are comfy, hotel bath towels fit all the way around me and amusement parks ride operators no longer grimace when they see me coming.

And the shopping...don't even get me started.

I just want to live life to the fullest. My sister asked if I wanted to do this crazy obstacle course/zip line adventure and I said yes without hesitating. We went yesterday and got to the section where you choose the 'easy' or 'challenging' route and we just smiled at each other and went left. It was like Ninja Warrior in the trees with a harness on. We completed 49 courses/zip lines and we had a BLAST. All I could think is how impossible it would've been even 50 lbs ago. Of course I won't be able to wear shorts for a week or two now...

On my bucket list once I reach goal weight:

I want to do a zip line in the NC mountains through the trees!

I'm saving for a Splash Painting by Christina Grenard.

And I want to hike around Crater Lake in Oregon.

      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?
