Jumping on a trampoline, swinging, riding rides with my daughter.
Not sweating all the time.
Being able to wear non plus size clothes.
My husband being able to pick me up .
Getting my sex drive back!
So many more things, these were just the first I thought of.

Why are you so upset over other members telling you what they found helpful when they went to the hospital? That is normally why one wold post on these forums, for suggestions from other. Guess you just wanted everyone to know that you can pack a hospital bag.

I'm nearly 2 years post-op (sleeve).
I've been seeing a therapist (who works with a lot of bariatric patients) for all that time. When I decided to have WLS I committed to seeing a therapist for three years:
1. The year of losing weight
2. The year of maintaining weight
3. The year of boring real life
I have had many benefits from my monthly sessions. I've dealt with a lot of stresses in my life post-op, including family deaths, family illnesses, relocations, retirement and more -- not to mention some issues related to eating, dysmorphia, helping my friends and others negotiate THEIR adjustments to the changes in my size, etc.
Great weight loss is a LOT to deal with. Usually obesity is a symptom of other issues. And obesity is not something that's "over" just because you have lost weight. As we all know losing weight isn't the big challenge -- it's changing your life so you can maintain your weight loss, regain your health and go on to living life quite differently than you did in the past.
If you can figure all this s**t out on your own, more power to you. I chose to access the resources a therapist offered me in making all these changes in ways that could *stick*.

IMO, seeing a therapist is a good idea for many
talking about food issues - many other subjects too
try talking to a therapist once
if this is not for you
nothing ventured - nothing gained!!!
initially i felt a little weird going to a therapist, embarrassed, self-conscious etc
felt there was a stigma attached to seeing a therapist
I discussed this issue with my new found therapist.....
she said
half the world sees a therapist - the other half SHOULD

Right! And let me tell you the BEST feeling in the world. You know how you go to the doctor and you have to fill out your health history and the nurse asked Me if I was a smoker and for the first time I was able to answer no or write no. I was so used to writing yes and then putting how many cigarettes I smoked a day and then hearing the doctor fuss at me . When I said no I didn't smoke I was Like "wow, I don't smoke anymore. Like I really don't smoke anymore!" It's a great feeling and saves you a heck of a lot of money too
