I am now 6 months post-op and the one thing I still want to do is to go on a backpacking trip with my family. We have made tentative plans for a trip up to the Superior Hiking Trail next summer! With al lthe weight I have been dragging around all these years, a 50 lb backpack shouldn't be too much of a burden.

I'm pre-op, so...where to begin?!?!

The biggest thing for me would be to get up off the floor without needing a crane. My daughter is always like, "I can help you, mama"! I just laugh because she is 32 lbs. Another big one for me is to not be conscious of my weight ALL DAY LONG!

I can't wait to be "normal" I know that sounds weird but I can't wait till I can sit in a chair and no be worried if I am goin to break it. I can't wait till I can shop in stores and be able to but their clothes even if it is just Wal*Mart. I can't wait till I can wear a bra all day and not have it dig into my sides. I can't wait till I can run and play with the kids at work I can't wait to have a lap again so that the kids can sit on it and be comfortable. I can't wait till the kids aren't asking me Valerie how did you get so fat instead I can't wait to hear them say how did you get so skinny? I can't wait till I can sleep at night and not wake up with a neck ake cuz I need so amny pillows to reach my neck. I can't wait till I can wear my seatbelt. I can't wait till I can wear cute shoes and not have them look funy. I can't wait till I am ok with being in pictutres. I can't wait till I can get down on the floor and be able to get back up without stickin my butt all the way up in the air. I can't wait for guys to look my way cuz I look good instead of lookin at me cuz I'm a hippo. I can't wait to be able to go down aisles at stores and not knockin thing off the rack and or selfs... OK I'll stop I think that I have showen that I can't wait till I am smaller. I can't wait till I am on the loosers bench! Which still seems weird to me that I have been tryin SO hard my whole life to not be a "looser" but now I can't wait till I loose.

Since I'm so newly post op, I would like to fly in a normal seat and be comfy. I would like to keep my house cleaner, now I don't because I get too hot and sore from doing too much. I can't wait to buy normal size clothes. Can't wait to consider looking for a different job, not being afraid that they won't hire me because of my size. I can't wait to walk long distances for exercise, or maybe even jog regularly and have people who pass by think "I wish I looked like that." I think that way today when I see any fit woman walking or jogging. I just want the weight to NEVER hold me back from doing ANYTHING again, and I know it won't.
