You know what I'm NOT going to miss?!

I am also freezing. Heater is on , jumper is on but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Being cold affects your marriage - my husband won't let me near him because my feet and hands are always so cold.LOL. Sometimes even my bum is cold and I promise I am not running around the house naked!

TOTALLY agree. I absolutely abhor the heat and my body is much better regulated, these days. I also like the fact that I feel comfortable wearing shorts, now, when those days get warm! Somebody mentioned the chafing between the thighs - anybody else have to keep buying new pants cause they'd keep getting holes worn in that spot where the thighs rub? SO embarrassing. I am so glad those days are behind me.

I was never one who sweated all the time, but I sure wasn't the one complaining about being cold all the time. It was always a joke that if I said I was cold, HELL had indeed frozen over! I did, however, notice that as I got fatter (and older) I couldn't tolerate extremely hot or bitterly cold temperatures. Now that I've lost 80+ pounds, the heat doesn't bother me nearly as much. Nor do I get winded after only 10-15 minutes of chores.

Other things that I'm not going to miss...

1) swollen fingers/ankles/feet

2) a FAT face

3) doing the 7 basic ballet movements to shave my legs

4) not being able to "complete my paperwork" in the bathroom

5) feeling guilty about every bite I put in my mouth

6) having poor balance

7) always having to pick out the largest size and hoping it fits

8) my 2nd ( and 3rd) chin

9) having "swamp a$$"

10) huffing/puffing just to bend over to pick up something off the floor

I was always freezing for awhile after my surgery (I had lost 18 pounds on the preop diet) and I couldn't believe it. I had to almost close the air vent near me to tolerate the air being on. It's gotten ok recently but after I lose more weight it looks like I'll have to bundle up like a bear from the sounds of it. :smilielol5:

I wanted to ask, did anyone here have some minor back pain that disappeared when they lost weight? I have some and I hope that it goes away along with the always being warm.:thumbup:

Holes on my thighs was so me!!! I used to buy new pants everytime I went into a store because I new I would need them. I still catch myself doing this from time to time.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
