I really got emotional reading your post. I feel the same exact way! I've forced myself to chaperone my kid's field trips because I know that I will never get that time back with them. Children can really be brutally honest and it's pretty hurtful!! I definitely won't miss that!!! Thanks for Sharing! -
Many on my list are repeats from what others have listed.
I will not miss worrying that I won't fit in a booth at a restaurant, praying that they sit us at a table.
I won't miss carrying a seat belt extender in my purse when I fly, hoping no one asks if I will fit. (that has happened several times and it's humiliating.)
I will not miss having issues with personal hygiene
I will not miss being worried what little kids are going to say when they see me. We all know how brutally honest kids can be.
I will not miss not being able to be active with my family.
I will not miss getting exhausted walking just a few feet.
I will not miss not sleeping well because I constantly have to turn over because my weight is too much to lay in one position for too long. Even on a tempourpedic bed.
I will not miss all the pills I have to take because of my weight.
I will not miss thinking my husband should find someone else.
I will not miss almost needing a crane to get me up out of our deep couch.
I will not miss worrying if a chair is strong enough to hold me.
I will not miss having to keep an empty seat between my husband and myself at the movies because I crowd him.
Wow. That's a lot and I'm sure there is more. I have surgery in 10 days and I cannot wait to NOT miss all these things!

Thanks for responding! I'm just seeing your response as well. My phone never notifies me. I'm scheduled for 10/28 and a little nervous. I feel a little better after you telling me about your experience. What did you use for your 7 day preop diet?

I Just had my last nutritionist visit yesterday and I'm scheduled for 10/28. I'm starting to feel nervous now but exited as well. I'm looking through the forums to get an idea of what liquids I should get for the pre op and post diet

I won't miss being embarrassed to chaperone my kids field trips.
" Kids/adults staring at me like I'm a circus animal"
" The pain in my knees
Wearing black all the time
avoiding stripes or bright colors
The list is endless lol

I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Had my surgery at memorial hospital in Hollywood with Dr Eckstein
Hi Holly! We have the same doctor! I haven't been sleeved yet but I will very soon. Any pros or cons? I've only met him once and I feel that I know the nutritionist more than I know him
