Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

1) I want to be able to walk through a store a turn a head or two for all the right reasons. Not, look at the 'fat chick double-take'

2) Hubs and I will be re-newing our vows in 2012. I want to walk down the isle in a size 8. We got married at the JP the first time. No family, no pictures and no wedding cake!

3) I want to be able to have sex in positions that have been uncomfortable due to my weight, with confidence and enjoy it!

My goals are:

1) Not have to shop in the "Plus Size" section anymore for my clothing.

2) Be able to go to the movies and not have to squeeze into the seat.

3) Be able to do whatever physical activities I want without the fear of being "too fat to do that".

4) Be comfortable in my own skin!

Funny you posted this, I was just talking to my husband about a goal today!

I got married three years ago and I was also probably my heaviest. One of my many goals would be to have my dress RE-fitted and different wedding pictures taken!

Plus I want to go back packing with my husband..I do it now but I hate thinking about going long distances!

To be able to ride the rides at an amusement park. I love rollercoasters, and I haven't been able to ride one in 9 years.

My first goal is to get banded. (Getting closer have my psych consult on Tues and then we can submit to insurance.)

One of my other goals is to ride a roller coaster with my teenage son and have energy to play with my younger kids.

Riding a horse again sounds awesome too!

My goal:

1) To be confident enough to start dating after a 10 year hiatus!

2) To not get the eye roll from whoever sits next to me on an airplane.

3) To wear a dress and actually look good... the last dress I looked good in was my 2nd grade communion dress.

Here's to the future!

I love this goal- I want to steal it! I was this weight (my current) when I was married. My weddng gown is hanging in a closet at my parents home. When we visit at Christmas, I want to try it on and have it be baggy!

I want to be able to easily get pregnant next fall, not struggle for almost 2 yrs.

I want to slip into a pair of size 14 shorts I've had since high school (I'm currently wearing a 20/22, depending on the brand).

1. to be able to slip on a cute tank top or sun dress and actually look cute

2. to have my boyfriend be able to pick me up and feel cute....not like i am going to knock him over (especially when he's 6'4 and 350 pounds)

3. to take pictures without having to hide behind everyone

I have a few different goals.

-My first one is to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath.

-I want to be able to ride on a roller coaster instead of watching my friends go on them. I am tired of pretending that I have motion sickness.

-I want to be able to stop shopping in Plus Size stores.

-I want to go places and not have to worry about people staring at me all the time

-I have never been on a date before and i really want to

-I want to be able to have kids in the future if I want to.

I'm starting the process.... so it's a ways off. But, I've thought of some goals that I can't wait to achieve!

1. Not to shop in the plus size section anymore.

2. Wear a DRESS and feel confident.

But, over all the two biggest goals that would mean the world to me if I accomplished would be:

One, have a baby :bolt:

And, Two. To make it into the healthy level of BMI so that I can become a Bone Marrow/Stem Cell donor so that I could possibly give someone a fresh start at life.

... like an anonymous stranger did for my husband. <3

      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.
