I want to wear a pair of fierce Stilleto shoes! Seriously, I want a very expensive pair of designer jeans a crisp shirt with a wide belt an expensive handbag and a pair of bad high heeled shoes!

You are a girl after my own heart!! I have a pair of heels that I love but I never wear them because they hurt too much. I am too fat to wear heels for any length of time. It sucks!

Here's to look HOT & Stylish!!

Mamacj,

My 3 year old daughter and I were watching the Olympic equestrian events yesterday and she asked me to do that. I used to jump horses in my younger days but I won't even get on one now because I feel so bad for the horse! I told her once I lose all my weight she and I can take lessons together. :thumbup:

I want to run with my 4 year old son!

I should rephrase...I want to teach my son to run. He thinks that running is this funny trot that I do....and now he does the same thing :wink:

Then I want to ride bikes with him!! he begs often :wink2:

I'm torn. I want so many things. I want to be able to walk in any store and try on clothes. I want so bad to be able to ride carnival rides, without getting stuck in the ride. I want so bad to be pretty enough to turn a head or two when I walk in. I want to feel good about myself. Funny thing is, just loosing what I had to preop has that feeling starting.

I want to not need diabetes meds. I want to feel free. Not feel like my fat will stop moving sooner or later when I have to move fast (which is often with twin 2 yr olds).

I don't want to be the fat friend. I'm tired of that title.

I want to take a cruise and not feel like the biggest one on the boat. I have always wanted to take a cruise but keep putting it off because I know how uncomfortable I would be if I was the biggest one there.

hahah. Sorry, I was responding to NayRay13's message and PCOS is Post Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. With symptoms such as Hair growth on the face, acne near the chin and mouth, irregular periods and in most all cases causes infertility.

I want to be able to ride a gondola at the Venetian in Vegas with my boyfriend and not worry about the boat being lopsided or tip over. Or go horseback riding at the ocean and not be over the weight limit. Also, not have to ask for the seatbelt extension on an airplane.

hey, i don't know if the PCOS goes away or not...i will have to ask my dr. i do know that all of this is part of what they call metabolic syndrome....and i am hoping to get rid of it...the pcos can cause diabetes, heart disease, infertility, not to mention the painful cysts...now my cysts are alot better and so is the pain, since i have been taking metformin...it is the treament for PCOS...and it really does help...

My dr's are hopeful it'll at least be more managable for me. I too have PCOS. I did manage to get pregnant 4 times... 2 resulting in kids. I have a 11 1/2 yr old son from my first (was on birth control pills), and then I got pregnant on an ovary suppression med (xoladex, lupron type med), with twins! I also took for my second pregnancy metformin, because I was diabetic. Apparently it helped.

      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.
