The one thing



Recommended Posts

What is the one thing that you absolutely want to do after you lose all the weight. I don't mean things like keep up with kids, shop at any store, but things that you never, ever, ever thought you would be able to do.

My one thing is SCUBA dive. As soon as I lose my 127 pounds I am going to get SCUBA certified.

I have always wanted to do this but knew there was no way I could ever get in a wetsuit. Plus, being this chubby I don't think I could sink enough to go all the way under the Water. LOL

My one thing -

Throw my Blood Pressure and Diabetes medicines in the trash.

Not glamorous, but I really started fearing that "it might be the death of me".

To wear a pair of trousers...i know this might sound strange, but i never where trousers because i have knock knees (legs bend in wards) and have always been self concious because of my size. (makes it look even more obvious) so when i do loose weight, to wear a pair of trousers with confidence. haven't worn a pair in over 12 yrs!!

I'd like to ski the black diamond runs - right now I get too tired

also, wear sleeveless blouses in the summer

wear skirts without having to wear pantyhose or a split slip underneath

wear bermuda shorts to work on Fridays in the summer like some of the other ladies do

I want to buy a sexy black dress. I want to no longer hide my body under baggy clothes and be embarrassed andelf conscious about my abdomen.

I totally understand this!! I wanted to go on a helicopter ride over the Northern Territory a few months back and wouldn't because you had to get weighed before you went in the chopper!

Good luck to all you September Samurai's!!

*I definitely want to get scuba certified and start diving

*I want to hike, go rafting, kayak, and dance to name a few!

A lot of these things I can do a little of now, it is just that I am hoping as my wt. comes off I will be able to be more active work out and rebuild the muscles to really do the things I love with out so much pain. I am betting that my back pain (had spinal fusion in 2000) will decrease with the wt. off and I will be get STRONG AND HAVE LESS PAIN!!!:biggrin:

That is ultimately what I really want! Just to live a healthy active life!

      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.
