New topic?!?!?!

What is the biggest thing you look forward to after surgery?

Crossing my legs and not having them fall alseep!

Other than being healthy & thin???? 
1. I can't wait to step on the scale & watch the numbers go down. 
2. I can't wait to look good, too. 
3. I want to get rid of my "race car jumps".  I have a 4 yr old & he was sitting on my lap last week & he said, 'mama, you have race car jumps on your belly'.  I told him that I was getting rid of my race car jumps & he wasn't too happy about that.  LOL
4. It would be nice to buy a nightie & look good in it, rather than resort to sweats.

What are you looking forward to?  When is your surgery?  Mine is 12-5.  Only 3 1/2 wks away.  Yikes!!!!!!

My surgery date is 08 Dec 2008. I can't wait to walk up a couple flights of stairs without seeing stars. (lol) I am also waiting for my first shopping for a new size.

Besides feeling better.. seeing my ex husband and watching his expression!!

your my kind of person !!! lol my ex always has to remind me of how fat I am...he always has to throw it in my face I will show him

You'll have to let us know about the ex's expression!!  That's gonna be worth all the hard work!

I can't wait for, ummm, well, i cant post THAT... umm, everything you all are looking forward to, and fitting into the seats at the theater.

I'm looking forward to no more diabetes -- no more meds, sticking myself to check the blood sugar, worrying about did I eat too much (cause I won't be able to! )

Other things of course --

not feeling self-concious in public
not feeling like the biggest woman in the group
being more active and having more energy!

looking forward to unpacking 5 totes of clothes that I can wear. So I diont have to wear sweat pants anymore(except to exercise)

Taking the stairs at work while talking to someone.   

My office building has a large central set of stairs, and as we all herd from floor to floor during the day for meetings, it would be nice for once to be able to walk up the stairs with my colleagues.  As it is now, they have to hear the popping and creaking of my knees as I wince in pain from the effort.  It is so difficult for me I am usually red in the face, out of breath and sweating by the time we get to the next meeting.   Sometimes I stay back and disappear so I can go down the hall to take the freight elevator.  I completely alienate myself because of my obesity.
