I thought it would be fun to run a little contest for all the you tube WLS peeps - or at least the ones that watch my videos. :) The rules are pretty simple:

-Post a text or video reply with your TOP 5 personal goals for after WLS. It doesn't matter if you're pre-op or post-op, or where you're at in achieving them. This is meant to be inspirational to us all!

-Deadline is 1/31/08 at MIDNIGHT - EST.

Anyone who enters will have their youtube named put into a hat, and there will be a live video drawing for the winner. The winner will get a box full of fun stuff mailed to them!

Have fun, and thanks for watching!

My girlfriend just had bypass and she lost a lot of weight. Her major goal was just to cross her legs.

I was 350 #s and I lost 150 without a bypass. My major goal was to have a lap to bounce my grandkids on! And now I have! 50 more pounds Ill be the weight i was in highschool.

After she lost a lot of her weight she had a lot of skin down below called an APRON. She had to have anothe surgery to remove that. Shes still losing weight but her insurance wont cover any more surgeries.

Here are a few things that I have also done but they weren't my goals:

1. Get/ride a motorcycle (taking a class this weekend).
2. Have one guy flirt with me other than my husband (oh yeah, that was fun after the first two! Now I just want to be left alone!)
3. Be a mentor to others going on their journey.
4. Performed on stage again playing Madonna, rolling on the ground with gorgeous guys dancing behind me (that was fun!).
5. Get smaller (way smaller) than my husband and SWIM in his shirts.

Hi Taunia,

Great video! I just found you since coming back to YouTube. Here are my top 5 lists and most of them I've done.

1. Get down to my REAL goal (135 lbs) - DONE!
2. Fit into a size 12 pants (I'm in a size 6 now)
3. Wear a bikini (that WILL happen after plastic surgery).
4. Go on a roller coaster (did that for my century celebration)
5. Complete the journey to a healthy lifestyle (I'm still doing this, I'm a massage therapist and becoming a master herbalist).
