The Top 5 Things You Will Not Miss After Vsg



Recommended Posts

cherrybomb: that really does suck. Cookbooks, that I can understand as a gift (although it's rather a backhanded slap), but not an actual diet how-to book. That is downright mean. *hug* Perhaps you can find a "how-to survive plastic surgery" or "how-to win friends and keep from being a loser" book for the giver for this Christmas ?

Cookee, I HATE The Biggest Loser! It's not motivational to me. Maybe it is for some people, but not me. I just see a bunch of obese people put on display so people can laugh at them.

Maybe I'll feel differently when I'm thinner, I don't know.

I forgot about grandmothers....they do tend towards that type of thing. I tell myself it comes from a place of love... And try to just let it go :/

Geez. You'd had to go to extremes for a bit

Another one, I will not miss my feet KILLING me after any kind of prolonged walking. I want to take kiddos to the zoo without feeling like my feet are going to explode or break!

I also look forward to ditching all of my wide width, "comfortable" shoes for cuter ones!

What I always thought was funny is that people were eating during the biggest loser. I think it's a circus. I mean they exploit everyone now!!

I'm almost three months out, here's 5 things I don't miss:

* Sweating all the time. Hot flashes have also dropped dramatically.

* Bras not fitting. My cups no longer overfloweth.

* Gorging myself at parties, but if there is shrimp I am on it.

* Knocking things over with my huge saddlebags.

* Not being able to find anything that fits at the thrift store. I emptied my closet and am having a blast refilling it on the cheap.

1)I won't miss feeling unattractive no sexual energy. I wonder why and how I am still married

2)I won't miss ppl making comments like remember how thin she was when she was younger. Or how pretty she would be if she lost a few pounds.

3)sweating I will never forget this sitting down in a nice summer turquoise dress and when I got up it was soaked.

4)I won't miss wearing spanks or girdles all year round.

5)I won't miss changing over and over again because nothing looks right or good.

I will not miss

1: sweating profusely even when the weather is freezing and having people ask if I'm sick

2: looking for any excuse to wear pants with an elastic waist band

3: feeling my chin on my chest when I'm curled up in bed

4: friends trying to set me up with overweight males because apparently that's all I can attract

5: the feeling of being embarrassed to eat anything other then a salad in public because I think people are judging me

That's just the tip of the iceberg there are many other things I WON'T miss :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
