Thanks everyone, it's the first time I've even shared things like this. I'm so used to just keeping quite and dealing because I'm embarrassed over my size. I never even considered speaking up, I just sat there miserable. Gives me a lot to think about!

Hey there, I got sleeved for the same reason. My surgery was just Monday but my surgeon agreed WLS was the best option to cure my insulin resistance that came with my PCOS. My surgeon did recommend waiting 2 years to start trying however I changed to a GYNO that is on the bariatric board and she is very familiar with what I'm going through. She told me a year and I will have definitely be able to have a healthy normal pregnancy. The biggest reason to wait has to do with the shock your body goes through after the major weight loss. I recommend finding a GYNO that has had other patients with PCOS that have had WLS. It helped me drastically! Good luck to you!!

As I sit here sipping on my iced green tea I look down and realize I am wearing a 6" heel like its second nature. I am all smiles.
About to change into my workout gear and go hiking soon.

Well apparently my dr thinks so! ????

Dear Past,
Thanks for the lessons.
Dear Future,
I'm ready.

Hey all of you wonderful December sleevers! I was sleeved on Monday and I'm running into some issues with Water. I'm thirsty for it, I want it, but every time I drink it hurts and causes gas pains. I haven't had this issue with other liquids. I'm slow sipping but always seem to get air. Is anyone else experiencing this?

We just returned from WDW and had a great time! Even though it was 90+ degrees and high humidity, I really was not sweating. And, I could keep up with my long-legged, tall husband! I was able to ride all the rides I wanted. My biggest challenge was figuring out what to eat in restaurants and dealing with all of the take-home meals in our condo! LOL!

Hi am post 6 mos doing great! DrT is awesome!

So I had to meet with a client today for lunch. I normally try to get to this particular restaurant first because I know they have these tiny booths that even a "normal" sized person would have trouble fitting in. Unfortunately I was running behind and of course she chose one. I squeezed myself in there and was literally in pain and could barley eat. The whole time she was talking to me all I could do was think about how uncomfortable I was. Worst experience ever. It's insane to me that I still have this warped idea that I'm not as big as I really am. I'm attending my first OA meeting tonight. Looking for some support to get me from here thru my surgery.

I did not tell that many people. I felt like I have heard enough comments my whole life, and didn't want to hear anymore. So many people in my life feel like they have all the advice in the world to give, and I am not interested in it anymore. And maybe some day I will tell them? Not sure!

I definitely have a clothing goal. I recently put all my smaller clothes that I haven't worn in years to my guest closet. It will be like shopping once I can fit into them again! I'm currently at my highest a size 22/24, I'd love to be a 8/10 but like most I haven't been there since high school. It's almost hard to believe it's really possible. I'd love to be able to head to the mall and shop with my girlfriends again. Now I just come up with excuses not to go because I can't fit into the clothes at the stores they all shop.

I found this online and plan to have it for my birthday! Neat concept!

I'm a huge Disney fan and my husband and I go quite often. They have completely revitalized menus over the last few years. Loads of healthy choices and Snacks all over the parks. If you do a little pre-hand research you'll find when it comes to looking for the right foods you'll be just fine. Have fun!

My husband rides and sells Harley Davidson's. I've been terrified to get on the back of it with him because I'm so heavy. He literally begs me to give it a try so I promised after surgery I'll ride with him. What he doesn't know is a secretly wish I can get my own someday and we can take trips together. ????

So many things...
Of course, being able to wear all the clothes I have that no longer fit Not having to wear a sweater/sleeved top year-round to cover my arms Wearing a bathing suit in front of people, ideally one that isn't a grandma-style swimdress Being able to hike with my dogs or walk around at a museum or festival without crippling back pain Not feeling like I have to hold a throw pillow on my lap to cover my belly fat when I'm sitting on a couch or something in front of people Being able to get up off the floor more easily; I like to sit on the floor! Not worrying about breaking a chair or step stool Not being flushed and sweaty all the freakin' time, and not constantly worrying that I smell because of it Being able to start dancing again, whether it's taking a modern dance class or going swing dancing with my husband, or just goofing around with friends Feeling like I can sit on my husband's lap or have him pick me up without hurting him Feeling more attractive, maybe even... sexy? Not panicking when I get a notification that someone has tagged me in a photo on Facebook Being able to stop pretending that I don't want to join in on activities, when really I'm just too fat to keep up

Wrapping a towel around me with no gap.

Looking foward to sitting at a booth in a restaurant comfortably...shopping in the regular sized section of the clothing store...wearing smaller sized shoes....being able to wear skirts or shorts
