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

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

      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! 😞
