Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

What do you want to do when your skinny (or thinner)



Recommended Posts

I am only at the beginning and have a lone way to go but I wonder what you are looking forward to most

My list is

To shop in a normal store (not to have to go in the back behind the ties or the “specialty” store- yuck)

To cross my legs comfortably

To sit in the middle seat on the subway without getting the horrified look from the others

I don't know about ya'll but I've always had short fat hands and I have never been able to see my knuckles when I make a fist until now so yay me lol. Now my list

Wear cute clothes, wear skinny jeans, cross my legs like a lady foe the first time ever in life lol, wear stilettos without feeling like I'm going to break my ankle. Not having to shop in the plus size stores bye bye Lane Bryant. Not worrying about how far away a place is if I have to walk there for example a football stadium or basketball arena. I'm going to stop there I could go forever.

Soon enough all of this will be a thing of the past.

1.) Wear and shop in the misses section.

2.) Ride rides at amusement park (can't fit the fun ones now).

3.) Do the sexy leg cross.

4.) See my waist line.

5.) Go to a restaurant and have room between the booth table and myself.

***Pretty sure there are many more these and the first that came to mind***

I didn't have a long list.

One of the things on your lists that would definitely not be on mine is the rides at the amusement park - I hate them,. Can't stand heights and when they are combined with speed and sudden drops as well no way! Yes I'm chicken.

As I am already on the other side here are some of the things I love about being slim.

Being able to go into a shop and have stacks of choice because just about everything will fit and should look pretty good.

Being photographed instead of just hiding behind the camera. We went for a family makeover/photoshhot and it was good to feel realxed and to look great.

Nobody ever believes my age. I have always looked younger than I am but when my weight went up so much I think I started looking a lot closer to my actual age. Now its gone people are usually way out when they guess.

Modelling - I have done this twice and at only 5' it is something I never ever thought I would do. Ok it was only at 2 local fashion shows but it was still a huge buzz.

Being able to pick up bargains on sale and at the op shops.

The Burlesque thing sounds like fun. Enjoyed watching it on Rafters the other night but I don't think there are any classes out here in the sticks.

I would love to do one of those raunchy photoshoots but I still don't think I'm brave enough plus what would i do with the photos afterwards? Plus I would probably have to remortgage the house just to afford it as those places really know how to overcharge.

1) Tuck my pant legs into my Ugg boots.

2) Wear knee high leather boots and not have a problem zipping them past my calves.

3) Shave my inner thighs and not get razor burn from them rubbing.

4) Get my belly button pierced.

5) Cross my legs like a lady should, not the way a guy does.

I've got many other reasons but these are the first ones that came to mind. Fun!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
