Well I have only 4 days to go before surgery and I have to admit I am a little afraid. The pre-op diet is going ok. There are some days I feel like I could just knaw my fingers off I am so hungry and other days it is easy. There are so many things I am looking forward to after surgery so I thought I would just make a list:

*Being able to walk a flight of stairs without heavy breathing (6 months out and I can not only walk, but run a flight of stairs)

*Going to theme parks and fitting on all of the rides ( On  August 22 we went to Great America and not only did I ride every single ride but I kept up with my teenagers and closed the park down!!)

*shopping in the regular sizes at stores (On May 8th,2009 I bought a Large top in the Misses section of Kohl's)

*Able to fit in the seats at theaters, etc. ( I accomplished this on January 24th)

*More intamacy with my husband ( I accomplished this sometime in January...wink!)

*My family being proud of me ( They are so proud now...I hear it all the time. Especially Bill who tells me how beautiful I am constantly)

*Putting on a seat belt without it hurting ( I can do this pretty easily now)

*Finding a nice bra in a regular store ( My daughter and I can almost wear the same size now..,...38 C) ( ok here is a sad note.....my daughter now wears a bigger size than me...im a 34 B....boo hoo!)

*Wearing underwear from Victoria Secrets ( I finally bought underwear after losing almost 130 pounds. You could only imagaine what they looked like....I had saggy drawers. My friend gave me money to buy them for my birthday and Bill thought it was his birthday too...lol)

*Go to my husband's work parties without the fear of them thinking, "What is he doing with her?" (Not a problem now. I walk with him proudly)

*Sleeping comfortably ( I sleep terrific!!! May 10, 2009........6 months out)

Well as you can see I have met all of my goals. I need to set new ones now...Look for my new goals in my September or October 2009 posts!
