Plans in 2019

Nice!! Looks like you are well on your way for #1 and the rest will come!

I would like to read more task based books and become more organized. I plan to dedicate more time to making my garden more productive, beginning to end. I would like to try pressure canning for the first time rather than dabbling in water bath canning years ago. I also want to prepare the yard and establish a small, thriving group of backyard chickens. I think that is enough, lol.

I feel so much better when my world is organized; I like lists and tasks and check boxes, lol.

I'm late to the party on this thread.

Have to say, I'm a terrible planner. What I hope to accomplish in 2019 is to go to Maine early spring and visit someone I play video games with and have known a long time.

Would love to go to a comic-con

Want to visit Six-Flags

This is a big goal financially, but to visit Disneyland. I've really wanted to go since I was a little girl, but that was never a possibility. I would love to be able to go.

You're in Missouri, right? -- Denver comic con May 31-June 2:-) I'll have a guest room and it's not a horrible drive:-)

That would be a blast and I have always wanted to go to Denver I hear it is a lovely city. I will have to keep this idea in mind!

Hello everyone:

I love this question. My goals are not particularly exciting, except, maybe, to me! Since I'm only 3.5 months post-op, 2 goals are weight-loss related. Sorry, veterans!

1. To finally tolerate eating dense protein without getting nauseated (and sometimes "tossing my cookies" after eating) so I can move on to adding non-starchy vegetables to my diet and eat some "normal" food! [I just had a repeat endoscopy on Tuesday and the stricture did not recur and there is no ulcer. So I don't know why I'm always nauseated when I eat. My surgeon said, I will "get used to it," whatever that means!]
2. To reach my Goal Weight before I go to my niece's graduation from Veterinary School at the end of May. Two years ago, she invited me to present her "white coat" to her during her White Coat Ceremony. I was at my high weight then. I started my WLS journey a few months after that. She hasn't seen either pictures of me or me since then. I think I can do it: 77 lbs down and 33 to 43 lbs to go depending on whose goal I choose: the Surgeon's vs. Mine!
3. Finish "moving into" my house. I bought a brand new house about 9 years ago. I never got to move in the way I wanted to because I have always been working full-time, which means at least 60 hrs per week. I was counting on reaching this goal by the end of 2018, but I've been pretty ill since my RNY in August. I also wasn't able to get vacation time off from work that I had planned to take off. At least, I'm part way to this goal already!

I think Goals 2 and 3 are pretty doable, but Goal 1 has me stumped! Maybe, it's just a matter of time.

Those are great goals! I hope you get #1 even before 2019; i'm sure it would help with everything else!

Great thread and I am making notes. Thanks for sharing everyone

1. Stay in the same field, but get a higher paying job (once I pass 3 months post op)
2. Move to a new apartment
3. Sew some wild oats! I'm at my sexual peak!
