I want to know what Goals everyone has. I don't mean weight goals. Like goals of getting into that pair of jeans or that mini skirt or swim suite. or possibly your CRUSH! Anything that you see yourself doing that you now want and it is so close. Like mine is to be able to use my Wii Fit and then after that telling me i am not obese :bored:

Hello Ralop and welcome to LBT!

Um, let's see... I would just love to be able to run again. I have two knee surgeries to get through and get myself to a reasonable weight that my knees can sustain the shock.

Sounds great to me!

I agree, no longer being obese is a great prize. :thumbup:

A lapband friend recently gave me two pairs of size 16 jeans and one is a Calvin Klein pair and I have them hanging on my bedroom door for motivation. I remember Oprah being so proud fitting into I think size 10 Calvin Kleins and I'll be just as proud to get into a 16 in jeans. I'm at the size 20-22 now and started with some of my pants in 30/32 so I can't wait!

I'm with kkoen, I want my girls to say HEY THATS MY MOM!!! the way we look reflects on them too. Middle and high school kids like to be mean and I don't want my girls to have to stand up for there mom or hate to be seen with me...

I'm getting married in 3 years (a long time, I know...:thumbup:). I want to be able to walk into Vera Wang and fit in any gown in the store. Also, my brother is getting married in 2 years, and I want to be just as beautiful as the other bridesmaids in the wedding (and again, fit into a really beautiful dress). Can't wait to be a normal size!!

You go LibbyJane! I love it!

I too hate that Wii - OBESE...like I need a computer to remind me!

I have an old pair of jeans that I really want to wear.

I want to go to weddings/functions in something that doesn't resemble a tablecloth.

I want to look good in pictures.

Someday I want to have children.

Those are my goals.

I want to be able to walk down and up the same trail at the Grand Canyon that my husband and I walked down and up the summer we first met and fell in love--we're going to Celebrate our 20th anniversary by going back to the Grand Canyon next summer--I know I'll be 20 years older, but I think that 47 years old is not too old (I know people way older than 47 who run up and down Pikes Peak--mountain near where I live--elev. 14,000 ft!). Also, I want to scuba dive again.

These are really great goals. My biggest goal of all time is not to shop at Casual Male!!!!! that will make me feel really great and plus those clothes are way to expensive, like 28 dollars for a shirt.

So many...where do I start?

*I want to sit on my husband's lap...comfortably :thumbup:

*I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and not care who else is around.

*I want to be able to borrow clothes from people and not be embarrassed because they don't fit

All of these are attainable....just need to keep it up. I am down 50 pounds and in a size 14 now...won't be too long for some of these goals to come to fruition!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
