Things I Won"t Miss After My Surgery!

So I thought it would be fun to start a topic on the things we will NOT miss after our surgeries!

I think we should write one or two, or three things we hate about being "big" "fluffy" etc...

I'll start...

i won't miss people call me "big guy"

i wont miss children staring at me and saying "Daddy he's fat"

i wont miss shopping at Casual Male XL and spending $65 on a shirt!!!!

How about you...what will you not miss!

This is such a great thing to look at and remind us of all the positives, thank you for posting!

I won't miss my fat rolls laying on each other.

I won't miss getting winded going up the stairs.

I won't miss my arms jiggling for 5 minutes after I stop moving.

I was banded one week ago, and this topic was exactly the little happiness boost I needed! :)

I get banded tomorrow. Whoo hoo

oh and a big one i wont miss getting chafed in places that i dont want to be chafed in! or having to buy certain expensive sneakers to support my weight and hope for them to work

I won't miss being tired all the time.

I won't miss aching knees and feet and back.

I won't miss hating how I look in mirror or photos.

I won't miss the thought of dying way too young.

I won't miss being sick and tired of being sick and tired, ALL THE TIME
