Hi, besides the obvious things like being able to buckle myb seat belt on the airplane, I want to go back to Sturgis SD for bike week and wear all my leather shorts and cute tops and vests. I want to strut my stuff. I want to be one of those cute girls that had it together walking around without a thought of "oh, I hope no one is looking at me." I want to whore it up a little. Oh and of course if my ex-fiance was there it would be even better.:redface:

Hi Luv2Teech7

you are correct 30km is about 18miles.

I started taking a running class a few weeks ago. Earlier today I ran 4k so I have long way to go.

It seems so cool that I have a completely different life. That I could even consider being ready for such a challenge! I love my band !!

Michee,

Oh, my!! I can't believe that you ran even 4K! I'm working on walking farther and farther every day, but I don't know that I'd even drive 30K in a day! That's impressive! When you were banded, did you ever think it possible?!

I want to do a tandem skydive, hopefully in Nov. Maybe I'll be light enough by then.

I'm like you Carrie. I to would like to change in front of my husband or even shower w/o feeling embarrassed. Being able to buy clothes in any shop. I also hope to find the courage to tastefully tell a few people what I think of them since though the years as have sat like a shy mouse and let them walk over me.

7_5_142.gif`here is another one. it is a biggie for me...

go on a job interview and not feel like teh interviewer is thinking OMG. you have got to be kidding me. I already have age against me, and I have actually been told I am to fat. it didn't matter I had experience and could do the job.

I have to get another job soon and I dread going out. I know the looks. I know I will probably go 15/20 interviews before I get hired. Not unless I go back to what I know, and have been offered by other companies a position. but I don't want to do what i have done most of my life. I left my last job because they knew I had my LB date comming up, and they would'nt get me the help I needed. I was NOT going to cancel my surgury for them. The type of job in the feild I was in is a low paying thankless job. a lot of times 24hrs 7 days a week. in case your wondering a manager for a quick stop. I have done that about 1/2 my life the other 1/2 is cook. I wan't something different. sorry off the subject. and long

I have a lot too but here are a few of mine...

*Of course I want to wear a bikini and look good in it!

*Go shopping and not have to sit down

*Shop for real clothes not sweats

*Change infront of my SO and not be ashamed

*Believe that my SO loves me just the way I am

*Feel good about myself

*Play with my son for hours not minutes

*Feel comfortable eating out

Those are a few, my biggest goal is to get into a bikini!! (As long as my strech marks fade a little!)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
