Just for fun

What is something that you secretly look forward to, or looked forward to, when you started your journey? My surgery is still 2 months out, but one of my things is not to have to wear a bra extension anymore. You know that thing you wear because your bra won't meet in the back? I despise that thing. 😂

Being able to sit wherever I was put in a restaurant, whether booth or table.

Being able to shop anywhere (although it wasn't much of a secret, LOL).

Finding casual blouses that fit right and don’t look like a tent. I hated the shirts I used to wear….they are getting better now that I am a little smaller…..can’t wait to see how the tops fit when I get closer to my goal.

Being able to shop in the regular sizes. I am still not down to my goal weight so I have only ordered a few things online thus far so I am still looking forward to this. I just wish my best friend would decide to have the surgery too so we can have fun shopping together like we used to. We still have fun shopping now but we shop for house decor and stuff like that, not clothes.

Well, I WAS looking forward to enjoying exercise, but I somehow think I may just be a slug no matter what size I am. I am looking forward to being able to move easily around spaces and not have to plan out my route depending on where chairs/tables/etc are (like when you get seated at the back of a restaurant).

And of course, I am looking forward to wearing "normal" sized clothes!

Going down the Water slide on a cruise ship without getting stuck! (Yep, I did it about 10 times!!)

I just want to be amongst people again and not feel so fat. I am staying home too much these days

I can’t wait to be able to ride roller coasters again. I used to love riding when I was younger and thought that I would never be able to enjoy that with my son. Now that I am post op and losing I can finally look forward to it again!

Reasonable bra sizes! It was slim pickings for my former cup size. Now I can buy a bra anywhere

Not being scared of having my picture taken or looking in the mirror. 😱😖

We actually just had a family photo shoot for our Christmas cards, and I wasn't horrified by most of them (a few bad angles or positions😝). 😄😂

Not asking for a seat belt extender on airplanes.

They sell them on Amazon. If you brought it with you, you could be more discreet than having to ask for one. Just until you get down to not needing one. Just a thought.

It’s been 2 months since I had surgery..at 5e first month the best news I received was that my A1C was at prediabetic #. I was at 7.8% a1c before surgery, 25 days after surgery my A1c went down to 5.8%. I’m also looking forward to the summer 2022 where I can finally wear a 2 piece bikini and have a somewhat even tan. Every summer I end up looking like an Oreo cookie, dark legs, dark back and arms and extremely pale midsection.
