It seems the "older they are the worse they are" as far as father in laws go. They were the ones who said Marilyn Monroe was fat and gave us Twiggie, they were the ones who decided women should not be seen in public pregnant, giving us more abortions and/or kids with medical issues because mom had to wear that girdle while 9 months pregnant. Those men are from a fossil era and when they meet their maker, I hope she smacks them silly!
August 12th will be my 12 year wedding anniversary. I think its kinda cool that we will Celebrate 12 years on the 12th, ok kinda dumb. Any-who...I really wished to be able to renew our vows and all that jazz, but since I wont see surgery until fall/winter I almost want to just skip this anniversary like it never happened.
Oh and restaurants/banquet halls/bars/clubs...anywhere they like to pack in the tables and people like sardines....I get horrible anxiety either getting to our seat or leaving the seat, worrying who am I gonna shove into their table because my fat behind cant fit through the space between chairs. Or how high can I stand and walk on my tippy toes so that my fat is above the back of that chair, so I dont shove that person into their food.
At the local childrens museum they have an exhibit of a cave, that ends with the kids getting to go down a slide to get out of it. yeah, talk about closterphobic! I want to be able to explore that cave and slide with my girls.
OMG! No more extra baby powder under the fat rolls so that you don't smell like something the cat just drug in!! Also I dont know about you, but no more deodorant under the boobies! I hope then, the pimples go away from under the fat boobies too, bc thats quite embarassing.
Worrying about weigh limits on things such as step ladders, trampolines (to play with the kids), elevators, hanging porch swings, etc
BETTER GAS MILEAGE! LOL when we loose the weight, it is less weight on our vehicles tires, thus better gas mileage!

*with tears in my eyes from both laughing and crying*
I want all of those things and more!
I want to stop being the fat wing girl for my single BF.
I want to turn the lights on during sex with my husband. Hell, I want my libido back!!!!
I hate being the trifecta of jokes...I have redhair, fairskin with freckles and am fat
If you want to look like an adult you have to shop at Lane Bryant and spend $100 on jeans, else you go to Walmart and whomever the jerk is who buys for their plus size department, clearly hates fat people. In what world does anyone who wears anything above large, automatically love Mickey and Tinkerbell? Because in the eyes of walmart, those are the only clothes large people wear. GRRRRRR
I want to be able to sit "indian style" "pretzel legged"
Dear God Grooming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sick of being the odd man out....I am the ONLY fat person in my circle of friends and family. ONLY.
When I met my husband and started dating, I was 132, over the years and kids, that has changed. He loves me, this I know, but his father is a jerk. Ever since the 1st extra pound I put on, he makes snide comments whenever we are around. Things like "I have been the same size since the Navy" "Make sure those truck tires are inflated properly with all the extra weight youre carrying around" "I told your mother if she ever gained weight I would divorce her" Good thing my husband is a better man than his father.
My soul wants to dance, but my body doesnt move like my heart wants me too. When this 100 pound person gets off my back, hubby and I are learning the tango and salsa and all those erotic latin dances!
My number one goal, because we know the weight goes buh-bye from the top down, is that when this fat girl is skinny. I have 3 GF's and I that are getting us some new boobies! We have made a pact that once I am thin, we are all gonna go in the same day and get enlargements. Cant decide between Pam Anderson or Dolly Parton though......

ABSOLUTELY! Have you ever piled your vehicle sky high with stuff, either moving or going on vacation? You get horrible gas mileage! When you are not carrying around that extra weight, the vehicle performs closer to factory standards. Why wouldn't it count when we loose weight?! We, on average, all are here because we need to loose 100lbs or more, that is equivalent to carrying around another person in our vehicle. So, ixnay the "extra person" and get better gas mileage!
Oh, and don't forget to properly inflate tires too :-)

Hi everyone, I'm Jaylin (32 yoa) from Texas and I'm new to the forum. I had surgery on 12/22/12 with my original weight being 445 and nearly three months (tomorrow) in I am down 66 pnds. I just recently broke the 380 mark I'd been stuck at (fluxing from 381 - 384) for two weeks. I was sick the week before spring break and out of town the week of which set my gym time back quite a bit. I joined LA fitness once my major recovery was done and I typically work out (swimming and Water aerobics) 4-5 days a week with a lot of walking on the weekends. It's a great excuse to head to the mall! Since surgery I'm no longer a type two diabetic and have had normal (though often low at times) bgls since two weeks post surgery. I think my biggest stumbling block is the ability to get enough Protein even drinking my protein juice, because meat and most of the time cheese (other than queso which i know is not a healthy choice) just won't go down or stay there anyhow. I try Beans and love yogurt but I have definate food texture issues that aren't helping. Just wanting to post and say hi and get a feel for the group. Hope you are enjoing your journeys!

I officially hit the target today! I have lost 125 lbs which was my surgeon's goal for me. My sugeversary is this Thursday March 21st and I made it!!!! Woot! Woot!

7/30/12 290 lbs
3/22/13 193 lbs
Down 97 lbs
13 lbs to target

At 8 months (surgery was july10) I have lost 136 lbs and have reached my goal of not being overweight! I think I'm going to go for 15 more lbs but can't explain the satisfaction!
During the pre phase the psych told me that to expect to lose 100 lbs in the first year was unreasonable. I would love to go tell him my numbers!!!
It's a great feeling to not stand out unless you want to and know that when people look at you they see you, not your plus size!!!
I will never regret this decision

It's been a very long 7 1/2 months for me.... but I can confidently and proudly say that I finally feel as though the inside matches the outside! I'm about 5lbs to my goal, (although I'm only about 3 months out from my actual bypass procedure), and I went on a mini shopping spree today, and it felt SO good! From size 22 pants and 1x or 2x shirts, to size 8 or 10 pants, and a size M shirts.
Everyone who is struggling in the first few days or weeks after surgery, just keep your mind on the end result. Everyone with complications, surround yourself with love and support and you'll make it through. You'll make it through, just keep pushing!

You better smile girlie... You look great!!!!!

I am 5 months post op today down 85 pounds!!

Because of all the drastic changes to your body, it's already in shock! Any reputable doctor recommends you wait 18 months before another major surgery. When you have a Tummy Tuck or Lipo, The incidence of fat pockets forming in response to the additional shock is really high. You have to be careful or your tummy can end up looking like Swiss cheese. I have a cousin who is a plastic surgeon so I know he will look out for me and not just rush me to a surgery to make a buck. He recommends I wait.
