I am looking forward to fitting into airline seats without hiding the seat belt buckle with my arms so the flight attendant won't bring me a seatbelt extension...

I am looking forward to being able to walk further, dance with my daughter (husband doesn't dance!) and in general being more active physically...

I am looking forward to wearing non-plus size...and having more choices in clothing styles...

I am looking forward to my body matching my inner self (is that too weird?)

Great question!

I'm also looking forward to getting a bike and riding in public with my dd and dh.

ENERGY!

My old dresses that are still hanging in my closet.

Taking my DD to school and not feeling like the fat old mom

Seeing my feet.

Walking with my head held high.

I am looking forward to not having to take blood pressure pills everyday.

I am looking forward to finally shopping at the Gap and Old Navy.

I am looking forward to swimming again with just the bathingsuit not the T-shirt that covers it up and the suit. Finally I am looking forward to seeing the real me, you know the me that is on the inside that keeps trying to surface but can't because the Fat chick on the outside keeps pushing me back with hotwings and cheesecake. LOL

I'm really looking forward to getting my heel/ankle better, although my weight isnt the cause of the injury. I just want to be able to go out and exercise like I used to be able to (even 12 months ago at the same weight!).

Buying clothes in normal shops. Having a black tie function to go to and not feeling physically sick at the thought of finding something to wear.

I want to roller blade with my sons, ages 23,25,27. I never got to do anything fun because I have always been horizontally challanged. I hate the word OBESE!!! I also have grandkids that are little, 10 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 9 years. My 9 year old grandson thought when I got back from TJ, that I wouldn't be Fluffy (his way of saying fat) anymore, He was disapointed when I got home. I hope he will enjoy me better in a few months.

I want to go to my 10 year high school reunion lookin' good (still a few years off, but a long standing dream of mine). I want to weigh less than my boyfriend! I want to scuba dive with less than 15 lbs on my weight belt. And I want to cosplay at a convention (maybe next summer, but probably the one after, and yes, I'm a geek).

:D

      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.
