I haven't had my surgery yet, but honestly some of the things I am most looking forward to are these: being able to have most bath towels (especially ones at hotels) fit around me with no gaps. being able to wear my partner's clothes. not having to use my own weight as a way to get momentum to get off of a sofa. to be able to walk up a flight of stairs, or even just alongside my friends when we are walking without feeling out of breath and sweaty! Reading everyone's NSV's has been really encouraging. I can't wait to have my own!

Hello, and thank you for your advice :) These are some things I hadn't even thought of! I am admittedly awful when it comes to snacking and my water intake is extremely low, so it would make sense to start changing my habits now. How did you find adjusting to the mental hunger and any cravings?

Hello :) I hope so! I feel so impatient, kind of like an out-of-body experience. I don't even feel like my current body is mine anymore, it is as if I am trapped! (I probably sound mad haha). I have heard of people saying their tastes change which is so interesting! I have also heard you aren't able to drink fizzy or cold drinks anymore? I have admittedly already seen some horror stories (mainly on TikTok), but I am the type of person who looks at the facts and figures, and the success rates are so high, it is just that unfortunately people are more interested in hearing about the bad, compared to the good! Thank you for the advice - it really is appreciated. I will definitely clean my place before the surgery!
