What's your list?



Recommended Posts

I haven't gotten my lap band yet, but I have dreams of all the things I'll get to do when I do get it. What are some of the things you can't wait to do after you lose your weight; or, if you have lost enough wait to do the things you wanted to do, what was it?

Here's my list:

1. Fit comfortably in a movie seat :clap2:

2. Go to Six Flags again and ride the rides

3. Not feel embarrassed in a plane seat

_ pretty much anything having to do with a seat _

4. Roll over in bed comfortably :notagree

5. Put my shoes and socks on without straining

6. Fingernail polishing my toenails without straining

7. Rollerblade and iceskate again

8. Not have the fear of breaking somebody's chair. LOL

What about you?

Yes, I dislike that commercial too Glo. LOL.

And yes, I should have put the clothes thing on mine too Dave. I sure hate it when the plus size clothes seem to come in the ugliest moo moo crap you've ever seen.. I do tend to find some decent stuff, but when I walk by the 16 and unders I remember the days when I wore the 4-12's and how cute those clothes were..

Okay you asked for it!:)

1. Not having people look away when I walk by, because they don't want to "stare".

2. Being able to get into any buffet line and not have people watch what I'm putting on my plate.

3. Meeting someone new and not have them assume I'm stupid just because I'm fat.

4. Buying clothes downstairs in a department store (ours all have the Plus sizes upstairs--to give us some exercise I think!!)

I'm just being totally honest with myself and you guys! :bounce:

I was banded in May (a-May-zing bandsters) and we had a started a list back then that was called 100 reasons to lose 100 lbs. It was a great list....lots of rollercoasters, dancing, skirts, shoe tying etc.

You make me want to go back and look again at what was on "My list".

I know one was wakeboarding which I did this summer.

For you future bandsters.....It is sooo worth it! Good Luck!

Ugg, I hate the buffet line stares... It makes me always get less though and always throw a salad on there too. LOL

I get paranoid at the grocery store too.. I feel like people are looking in my basket at what I have. I've been known to hide the bad stuff under the good stuff. HA HA..

All of the above. How's about not feeling so bleedin' out of place all the time? Not being the fat chick any longer.

Looking completely fabulous on the back cover of a book.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
