The Bucket List



Recommended Posts

Wow, what a film! Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson outdid themselves...wouldn't be surprised if they win awards for this one!

I've actually been thinking about such a list...didn't know it had a name.

What are 2 (let's leave it to two) things you'd like to do before you die?

Oh, before someone says this is off topic....

I never wanted to do anything before being banded. Felt like a prisoner in my body and in my home.

Now, I want to travel the world, meet new people, do new things!

I'll have to really think of what else I would like to do ...

Haven't seen the movie but heard it was great!! Well, there is a long lost of things on my Bucket List....but two of them are:

1. Complete a marathon- which I DID on October 21st, 2007!! Yes....all 240 pounds of me FINISHED!!:wink::Banane33:

2. To have a baby- which (god-willing) this new journey will help me be able to check this one off my list

I just hope I keep living a longer, happier and healthier life so my list can get longer!!

OK, besides reaching my goal weight,

Travel to Asia to visit our exchange students from a few years ago.

Build my new shop at home so I have a place to "hide" from DW when I retire.

Good thread. There is a great website called "43 Things" where you list 43 things you'd like to do. They need to be acheivable not just totally wishful thinking things. You write about your experiences in getting there, read other people's experiences, and cheer people on. It's really cool. People have some very crazy, sweet, touching, and wonderful goals. Plus, if you have a goal like "learn to speak Chinese" you can search for other people who have the same goal and read how they did it or chat with them. It's definately worth checking out.

;) Thanks for all your lists! Wonderful!!!

This subject, it really helped me think, is this something I really want to do or is it me just seeking approval and appreciation again, or is my soul really calling to this? Scratched a LOT of stuff off as a result, hahahaha. Here are my 3.

1. Snorkel naked with my beautiful husband in deserted warm crystal blue waters. {remaining post censored!}

2. sleep under the stars at the Temple at Delphi in Greece in complete silence.

3. Live for awhile, with nothing, in the Peruvian Rain Forest with an old, wise Curandero and learn his ancient arts - and spend some time alone in the canopy, watching.

      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.
