Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Hi I have some to add to your list. Taking a long bubble bath, and being able to get out of the tub! Painting my toe nails Going to just a regular store and not straight to the Ladies Wear ( or helga the tent maker! ) Being able to enjoy sex ( I cant believe I said that ) because you can get close with no belly in the way, and finally Fishing again in my john boat, and not being afraid that it will sink with just me and my gear in it, because its overweight.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 okay Robin, We need to start a DREAMS LIST... Here are a few of mine: 1. Being able to tie my shoe by doubling over or squatting.. 2. To be able to sit comfortably in a theater seat.. 3. To be able to wear a short shirt---one that hits right under your waist but not all the way over your stomach and butt.. 4. To be able to go to the store and pick up some jeans without trying on every darn pair to see if they fit right... 5. ok.. that's all or it will get nasty... yes sex talk.. we won't go there.. Just imagine what a well built man like my hubby could do with a woman he could pick up!!! Oh, I can't believe I wrote that : ) I will say, that I have an active sex life now, but I can not wait to make it BETTER!!!! Okay, let's see what everyone else can add to the list of dreams... in Ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Way to go with the sex life sandra...LOL.....Your husband wont know what to do with himself. Ok a few of my wishes: 1. Being able to ride the rides with my kids at the beach and not worry about fitting in the seat. 2. Riding the harley with my boyfriend and not feel self conscious. Those are just a couple....Im sure I could think of a million more. Robin Virginia At 02:37 PM 11/5/00 -0500, you wrote: >okay Robin, >We need to start a DREAMS LIST... >Here are a few of mine: >1.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 I too have many dreams I want to be able to use my bathtub instead of having to make a spa appointment for hydrotherapy to soak and relax ($55 is a pretty expensive bath). I want to go to the Super Walmart and walk all over without having to groceries one trip and household items another because my back hurts too much and I am just too tired. I want to take my children to Disney World before they are grown and leave home. (They are currently 13 and 15) I want to choose a restaurant because of the food and not whether the tables and chairs are fixed. I want to be able to say " We'll take a booth " or maybe I just want some waitress to ask without assuming I won't fit. I guess you could sum up my dreams with " I WANT A LIFE!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 I have lots of dreams!! I want to wear an ANKLE bracelet. I want to be able to go to my kids' open house at school and sit in the student desks. Fit in spectator seats without hanging over to the next seat. I want to wear Liz Clairborne. (not !) I want to be able to use the yucky paper gowns at the dr's office without ripping them. I want to be able to get in and out of cars without having to use the tilt steering wheels. Wear pleated pants and tuck in my shirt and wear a belt!!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Well, If if we " HAVE " to sign such an agreement (hehe), I wonder if, while he's performing (no pun intended) the Bypass, the good doctor might agree to sew something else up. Just think that might help w/ that, um what did you call it?...abstinence thing. hehe from the PHAT chick, Cindy ------------------- >Oh. Unfortunately I regret to inform you that we are required to sign a pledge of abstinence. You need to have fun now..because your sex life as you know it (or would like to have known it) is soon to be over. >Sorry. Abstinence is the good and pure thing to do. And we must promise not to ever have sex (and indeed you should not lust) once we have this surgery. You might want to turn your hot water heater off when you leave for Durham too. Because when you get back you'll be needing lots of cold showers.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 To Those Interested, There are no locks on the hopital door....so it would probably be wise to wait until you get to your hotel room......;-) ;-) One of our male post-ops mowed his yard two days after surgery so it seems like sex would be a lot more fun and just about a stenuous. I think I waited about a week but painfully thin Flo is still waiting after 5 months because she signed the No Sex Agreement. It's totally up to the individual and their partner. Have fun.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Oh. Unfortunately I regret to inform you that we are required to sign a pledge of abstinence. You need to have fun now..because your sex life as you know it (or would like to have known it) is soon to be over. Sorry. Abstinence is the good and pure thing to do.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Thanks Tarri, Interestingly enough I told my sons about the surgery last night. Just like you said, they didn't see me as fat at all. I guess this is the only Mom they've ever had. It's alright with them. I can't wait until I can show them just how much fun a Mom can be.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Hey Cheryl, I have 13 and 15 year old sons (and a 10 year old daughter) too. When I told them I was having this surgery so I wouldn't be the fattest Mom they were surprised. It turns out I was much harder on myself than they could ever be. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
