Question AFTER WLS: "Can't Wait Fors..."

Ok....I found a fun topic in the midst of a very long post w/ Cabbie and Birdie....I thought it sounded like a fun Thread all on it's own...I know that I have some that I've thought about for a long long time!!

So....
After your WLS....What are the things you "Can't wait for?"
I have a short list started in my mind...but, I'm sure everyone can relate to this...and there might be some on your list that I'm excited about for me to.....
I'd love to hear what you are excited about for your WL....

So....here are mine in no particular order:
  1. Crossing my legs
  2. Seeing my face again...the thinner heartshaped face...
  3. wearing my size 14 bootcut, mid rise jeans. (I'm saving them...and love them...)
  4. fitting in a rollercoaster ride
  5. Making my "Wedding Weight - 220#"
  6. Making my "10 year reunion Weight - 183#" (5# less than my graduation weight)
  7. Wearing some of the 'coolest' clothes I've designed...they are all about sizes 10-14.
  8. CreativeHanky Panky...tee hee!!
  9. Going to the park with my daughter w/o the fear of not being able to catch up w/ her if I need to...
  10. walking up stairs and not getting "out of breath"...
So....what about all of you??

What CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR????

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Good idea putting this in a thread of it's own so you can read some of mine in "inspired" i will try not to repeat but here are a few more.

not avoiding mirrors or cameras
being able to stand around and talk with others for long periods of time.
oh yes crossing my legs, sitting with my legs curled under me without them falling asleep
feet not aching after a day of walking around alot
(you're all gonna find this one funny) being cold in the middle of the summer
not having to sleep with the fan on in the winter
(i talked about having my kitties and nephew and cousnins kids be able to sit on my lap) me being able to sit on Roo's lap without worrying about squashing him to death
being able to do the dishes standing instead of having to sit in a chair in front of the sink to do them


I could go on but that will do for today i think.

anyone else?

Thumbs up

Thats cool! Deb
OK! I'll bite,
Its in no order. But the kids do come first in my life.

1- My knees and feet and back to stop hurting
2- My stomach will stop hurting (ulcers)
3- Getting to ride bikes with everyone again.
4- Playing base ball.
5- Going back to Kings Island and ride the Beast agin.
6- Get some nice cool clothes, and dont have to wish i could wear this or that. I could never find anything i really wanted in JMS anyway.
7- Not having people (even stupid family member's like, Mother-in-law, that i hate. Long story.) look at you and talk behind your back or laugh at you as you walk by.
8- Being able to have fun out side with the kids/grandson.
9- Yeah the hank panky extras will come in handy too LOLOL!
10- enjoying looking at my self in a window/picture/ etc
11- haveing self a steem again.
12- Just being Pretty.

And people do look at the weight and judge you, and most thin people will NOT have a fat friend.
And if they do its to make them look good.

So the people that didint want nothing to do with me before, lets see what happeneds when the weight is gone, watch me DISS them back.
