Things i'm looking forwards to......

Great thread!

- Wearing jeans
- Ditto, pretty undies
- Not being the only fat member of my family (as my mum so frequently tells me ...)
- Yes, the whole plane seat thing
- Shopping in any shop

And, most of all, knowing that I've done A Really Good Thing for my health.

I just found this its brilliant & has so many things I can't wait to be able to do & some I never thought of.

One thing for me is that my daughters won't have to worry about me Keeling over and having a weight related attack of some kind like I used to with my mother. I used to make all sorts of excuses to stay home from school to keep an eye on her because I was so scared and I never wanted my girls to feel that fear. My mother has had a sleeve and is loosing weight slowly, looking back it may have been silly of me but it was a real fear. I look forward to being healthy again

I'm looking forward to Booking a holiday in an ice hotel without fear of not being able to wear the necessary body suit. Coming off my diabetes medication. Running for the bus. Being able to pick up a penny for luck when I see it. Fitting in plane/restaurant/office seats. Having my first go on a roller coaster. Sitting on my partners knee. Being picked up and swung around. Dancing all night without paying for it the next day. Putting my socks on stood up. Fastening up my coats without the buttons popping. Borrowing my sisters clothes. Choosing to walk the long way. Being a "normal" size adult for the first time

I've just re-found this thread from a year ago. Pre-op and now almost a year later and 8 stone lighter I'm thrilled to see I've achieved all but one of my wishes. My favourite achievement is coming off my diabetes medication and fitting in seats! The one I've yet to do is the roller coaster. My sister has this in hand though and she's bought me a day trip for a theme park in May. So excited and nervous. I feel like I'm living all of my dreams. Int life great!

Whoops just realised I haven't done the ice hotel but have absolutely no desire to do this now. The cold and I are no longer friends!
