[Sarahmaria]

I think I've done a similar post years ago before I chickened out of WLS but thought I'd make a list of things im looking forward to post WLS when im nearer a normal weight. I hope itl spur me on when im nervous approaching surgery! Theres prob loads of threads like this but obv feel free to add stuff if you want!!

1. Less joint pain.
2. Not going to bed feeling like crap cus ive just eaten an entire large pizza by myself at midnight
3. Sleeping better without feeling a pressure on my neck
4. fitting in rollercoaster rides
5. more energy
6. being more sociable
7. not being worried about my tummy showing during 'intimate times'
8. possibly better fertility
9. fitting in my work uniform better
10. less sweating when its hot
11. clothes shopping and not absolutely hating clothes
12. wearing high heels for the first time
13. more confidence
14. not worrying about horrible children calling me names
15. not worrying about dropping dead of a heart attack at 40
16. fitting better in plane seats
17. going skiing
18. wanting to have pictures taken instead of running when i see a camera
19. not hating what i see in the mirror
20. not weighing more than a big muscly man!
21. not wincing when i go to a doctors appointment and they want to weigh me
22. being generally more active

[kat.30]

Good luck for tomorrow siana - are you having a band ??

[siana58]

I am indeed, so many emotional wobbles this last few weeks but really calm today and certain I'm doing the right thing

You will fine, I had a band a few years ago and recovered really well from the operation. Worst bit was my dad's driving on the way home!

That pretty much covers my list too.... the shopping in normal shops and going on a rollercoaster are random but already on the list I wrote pre op...
Will be so good to start ticking them off as they happen x
