PRE~OPS:
What is the one thing you can't wait to do once you lose enough weight?

POST~OPS: What was that one thing and did you do it?  Is there one thing you still want to try/do?

Ooooh....this is a fun one!!!!
I would have to say wearing certain clothes would be the best thing ever..... regular clothes...not the big old fat covering clothes!!!!  Getting through the day and being able to keep going.  I use to crash when I came home from work!  
My feet don't hurt.  I always was able to stay active when I was overweight.  Now it is just so much more pleasant and I don't hurt so much in the process!  
What about you? 


Start Weight: 256
Today: 171
Down: 85
Still want to lose: 31

BMI 30.4

The one thing I couldn't wait for after surgery was being able to comfortably fit my big behind into a regular airline seat!  I was traveling a lot for work, and I hated the "looks" when I'd go to sit next to someone and I could tell they were disturbed because I might spill over into their space.  I used to pray that I'd get upgraded into 1st class where the seats are so much bigger.  Now I don't care!  It's awesome.  

There are lots of things I've tried since losing weight - hiking while on trips and choosing to do active activities when I'm home or on the road that I never would have done before.  I never would go and walk on the treadmill in the workout rooms in hotels when I was larger, because of the looks I'd get.  Now I do it all the time.  I also choose to walk in public places to get exercise when I'm traveling.  I choose vacations where I can be active with my husband.  We went on a cruise to Alaska for our 10th anniversary, and I chose walking tours because I knew I could handle it.  I couldn't have done it before losing weight.

I'm so thankful for this surgery!  Until I lost some weight and started to do more, I had no idea how small my world had gotten because of my weight.  Great idea for a post - it's fun to sit back and remember the positives!  Merry Christmas!

To be able to dress in my own style and fashion.  I have always loved fashion but at my high weight, my choices were limited.  Now I can buy things off the rack half the time.  I even own a pair of designer jeans.  I had not felt "sexy" in years and now I do.  It's a great feeling! :)
