Default Things I Want to Do

Hiiiii, It's me again.

I wanted to share the list of things I am looking forward to doing after WLS. Some of these things I could do now... but a lot of them I would be much more comfortable doing AFTER surgery, you know?

If you have a list similar to this or have done things after WLS you'd never imagine you'd be able to do, please share!

- Ride a horse
- Go scuba diving in a wet suit
- Play paint ball
- Wear a bathing suit and not feel self concious
- Do yoga
- Go hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains
- Play laser tag
- Fit into a bus seat without taking up 1 whole seat and 1/3rd of the seat next to me.
- Fit into a plane seat comfortably and be able to fasten the seat belt.
- Be able to put the little plane tray table DOWN.
- Wear a cute outfit and go dancing in a club.
- Put on a sun dress and stroll on the beach.
- Take Capoeira classes.
- Learn to swing dance.
- Get into the front seat of a regular car (instead of the wide ones) and actually fit into the seat.
- Go skiing.
- Own a pair of stilettos and actually be able to wear them for a reasonable amount of time.
- Be able to buy Victoria's Secret lingerie.
- Shop at stores other than Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, Silhouettes and Just My Size.
- Wear panties that aren't made by Hanes.
- Wear a belt once in a while.
- Eat at a restaurant without feeling like people are staring at me.
- Stop having lower back pain.
- Go jogging
- Walk up hill without getting winded
- Work out and swim at a gym
- Visit Europe and Asia and not feeling like they're whispering, "Stupid, fat American" behind my back. I'd much rather settle for just "Stupid American".
- Book a week long cruise, lay out in the sun, get a tan, and flirt with all the pretty boys.
- Ride ROLLERCOASTERS!


And above all...

I want to BE HEALTHY!

Hey girl.... I'm with you on a lot of those. I have skis at my parents house. I haven't skied since probably 11th grade. Gotta get a roof rack on the car and then I can go pick them up.

My list includes:

- Go scuba diving in a wet suit
- Fit into a bus seat without taking up 1 whole seat and 1/3rd of the seat next to me.
- Fit into a plane seat comfortably and be able to fasten the seat belt.
- Be able to put the little plane tray table DOWN.
- Go skiing.
- Wear panties that aren't made by Hanes.
- Eat at a restaurant without feeling like people are staring at me.
- Stop having lower back pain.
- Walk up hill without getting winded

(Yeah I borrowed some off your list... lol Hope you don't mind.)

There's other things too. I want to have a baby soooooooo badly. Since I've finally found and married Mr. Right, that's one of the things that's constantly on BOTH of our minds.

Welcome to the board too!

*hugs*
