After Surgery:
 Walk farther than 75 ft without my knees and lower back killing me
Walk around in general and not become a sweat monster
Go shopping and enjoy trying on clothes without tiring out
Be able to keep up with my house and actually garden without becoming tired and my back hurting after 20 minutes.
I will take my dogs for long walks
I will make love to my husband without my huge ass belly getting in the way
Have more energy
Will go out and enjoy life instead of being holed up in my house because I am so embarrased by my obestity
LIVE LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Love your list - I have one HERE. The Sex thing made me smile. I think it is important to write these things down so you can go back and read themn after surgery as a reminder to why you had it done.

Good luck - I bet you will check all of them off !!

 Thank you for sharing your list. I have also made a list of things that I will be able to do after surgery. Here is mine:

I will be able to have enough energy to keep up with my 7 children. 
I will be able to walk up stairs without becoming out of breath
I will be able to dance without my legs hurting
I will be able to cross my legs 
I will be able to get out of the bathtub without looking like a beached whale
I will be able to find clothes without having to buy them online because I can't find anything to fit me in the stores. 
I will be able to make love to my husband like I used to before I gained all of this weight
I will be able to find a cute Halloween costume
And most important of all....I will be healthy!

I am happy to say that at 7 months out I have accomplished all those except keeping my house clean. I have come to the conclusion that I am just plain lazy! Fat or not... I hate to clean! You can do it!!!!

After surgery:
Ride a bike
Take hikes
Learn to kyack
Go to town lawn sales & be able to walk to all of them
Go shopping without having to sit every few minutes
Not have to worry about seatbelts not going around me
Finding clothes at every store that I can choose
Take my dog for walks
Go to the beach and not feel like the whale that drifted ashore
Go dancing again & dance more than I sit

....the list is endless

Oh my, those are lovely.


I wrote out a long list of "Will-Dos" before my surgery. I wrote it out on a legal pad, so I don't have it anymore, but I may be able to remember some of them.

I will wear my wedding ring again
I will run up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing
I will lift my kids without groaning
I will run another 5K by the end of the year
I will divorce soda and never look back
I will attend a black tie event and look amazing and confident
