1. Not being able to fit in cute clothes and trying to cover up my body at all times.
2. Being self-conscious and not pursuing things I deserve just because I'm too shy and afraid to.
3. Not fitting comfortably in certain seats and not breaking parts of a chair and feeling extremely embarrassed.
4. Not feeling sexy naked, especially during sex
5. Feeling like I'm the fattest person
6. Not being able to cross my legs
And of course the thing I will definitely not miss about being fat....is being FAT.
Tomorrow is my surgery day

Tomorrow is finally my surgery day. I'm extremely nervous but I know that this is the best decision I've made. So for those who have already gone through it, do you have any tips or things that you did to calm your nerves before the surgery?

I'm still in shock! I bought 3 different pairs of pants yesterday in a size 10. All different brands, so it wasn't just a fluke. The first picture is a month before surgery and 2 weeks before my pre-op diet. The second picture is me in my new size 10 jeans.
I'm down 102 lbs in 10 1/2 months!

I'm so in awe right now! You ladies have really hit a home run on everything you have said! I'm so over the yoyo diets, being depressed and everything else ya.ll just said! Minus the husband because I don't have one..

Things I will not miss:
1. Feeling like a failure because I'm so big.
2. Feeling like I can't share an opinion or information because no one wants to listen to the fat lady anyway.
3. Not being able to actually look in a mirror (because I am disgusted by what I see)
4. Not being confident enough to initiate relations with my hubby.
5. Not knowing where I stand with people, thinking that they are just being nice so they can earn brownie points for being nice to the fat girl.
6. Plain jane undergarments, non matching under garments.
7. Worrying about being the fattest in the group, and people not feeling comfortable having me in the group.
8. Hearing my older family members telling me that I can't afford to get much bigger.
9. Feeling squished sitting between my hubby and my son in the theater. (For some reason they both lean in towards me. dude! The seats are small enough!!!)
10. Never being hit on. While I'm not looking for anything, to see an appreciation in a strangers eyes is oddly up lifting.

Congrats. You'll be fine. I'm right after you. I have surgery on Tuesday.

My surgery is scheduled for 12/2! I'm new to the forum. My name is Krysta and I'm 27 years old. I have battled with my weight for most of my life and I am currently at my heaviest I've ever been (5'6, 258lbs). I met with my surgeon yesterday and he is pretty amazing. He has operated on my stepdad and brother...they both have the sleeve. I originally wanted the lap band but my brother convinced me that the sleeve would be the best option for me, and after doing much research I believe that it will be as well. Good luck to everyone! I am looking forward to seeing everyone's progress and posting mine as well!
