Things I'm looking forward to!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I finally have a date for my sleeve op, 9th September! Woohooo!

The time can't go quick enough, so I've been hanging in there by thinking of the things I'm looking forward to post-op.

  • Not having sore thighs from them rubbing together!
  • Finding some jeans that fit me
  • Not eating the same amount as all the men in my family and still being hungry!
  • Being able to wear all my gorgeous high heels without feeling like a transvestite!
  • Not sweating like a fat old man when I'm exercising!
  • Seeing my ex, and knowing that I look great!

What are yours? :thumbup:

Hey Guys,

Haha, good timing! I was thinking of posting the same type of thread closer to my surgery date.

  • Not having sore thighs from them rubbing together!

YES, YES, YES! Even when I weighed as little as 145 lbs, I couldn't wear a skirt or short shorts if I had to walk more than a mile. So annoying! And I hate replacing my pants every 4-6 months because they rip!

  • Being able to wear all my gorgeous high heels without feeling like a transvestite!

I'm gonna change that to "Being able to wear all my high heels for hours on end without my feet absolutely killing me!" When I was 50 lbs lighter, I could dance like a maniac in high heels all night - now I'm hurtin' after half an hour!

What are yours? :thumbup1:

  • Getting back into dance, specifically ballet and starting modern dance....which undoubtedly will be much easier once I drop a few pounds and my feet don't get slaughtered when I jump. I'm hoping this will be the first year that I actually feel up to performing at the annual dance company recital. Here's to my recovery being quick, so I can get back to the barre by mid-September!
  • Shaving off a couple of minutes from my 5K and 10K times
  • Getting visible abs again...maybe this time I can finally get a 6-pack, and not just a 4-pack
  • Saving like $300/month on food and putting it towards vacations....hellz yeah!
  • My knee pain/discomfort getting better...I don't think it will ever go away (chronic inflammation), but it's definitely worse now that I'm 210 lbs than when I was 165!
  • Getting down to a more reasonable bra size (currently 38F) so I can wear cuter bras...haha

I think of new things all the time. I haven't set my date yet but I feel like I'm getting close to having the money.

Being about to soak in a bathtub, fully covered, without Water spilling out.

Wearing cute cheap clothes

Being flirtted with by men again

My stomach not sitting on my lap

Having a slim face so I can get any hair cut I want

Wearing shorts in the summer and shorter skirts

Fitting into booths comfortably

Eating a small amount of food and feeling full

Did I mention cheap clothing?

Having more energy

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
