non-medical post-op goals/motivation dream list

I am pre-op RNY. It seems like everyone I tell about the surgery asks the question "why?" I feel like the PC answer is that I want the surgery to improve my health. There is truth in that answer, but it is so much more than that. My real answer is I want surgery to loose weight so I can ride roller-coasters again! I am sick and tired of living this fat-girl lifestyle and I want to break out of this 290 pound cage.

I am putting together a list of skinny-girl dreams to keep me motivated as I work through the pre-op craziness. I want this to be a very long and impressive list, so please post your ideas!

1. Go to my Niece's birthday party at holiday world and ride all the roller-coasters

2. sit anywhere I want (especially baseball stadium seats)

3. buy cute PJs at a regular store

4. buy anything cute at a regular store

5. boots that will zip up my calf

6. run a half-marathon at Disney world

7. take a bubble bath

8. snow ski

9. get up off the floor without help

10. do yoga without looking like a beached whale

11. Walk not waddle

12. Go hiking

13. cross my legs

Great list

I created a WLS bucket list and after 10 years still working on it.  It's a great motivator for when things slow down and or you hit a plateau.  Also take a photo every month in the same place and same pose.  

I started out with a list and as I was crossing out things on my list, I started to add more difficult things that would challenge me.  Yes I still have a list that I am trying to achieve. 

Roller coasters are a HUGE incentive for me.  I've got a family of thrill seekers and with my weight on I'm either holding them back because they feel bad about me not being able to ride or I feel bad for holding them back and us simply not going to amusement parks.  I'm hoping by this time next summer we're going to be rocking the coasters!

14.  Rockin the stilletos!

Yes! Wearing heels!
