I Can't Wait To Not Have To...



Recommended Posts

I'm new here, but I can not wait to NOT have to ask my husband to paint my toenails. Or buckle my sandles. Or pass on the cute pair of heels and go for the flats instead. Or...... Struggle to clean properly after a bathroom trip.... Hey. Someone had to go there! Lol!

Wonder if people are wandering how I got my husband.

Have more self confidence to go after what I want

Wear boots for the first time in my life

Walk without sweating to death

I can go on and on

Yes!!! My husband is very cute, and while he totally loves me, I always feel like people look at us and think "she must have a really good personality!!"

Oh and the sweating! My son gets a kick out of that.

... to have a car full of teenagers pull up beside me walking and say "excuse me, where is Dunkin Donuts?" then laugh wildly and drive away.

... to have a stranger casually mention how much I resemble (insert name of an old, unattractive, obese celebrity).

... to use any public restroom stall, NOT just the wheelchair one.

... do a double take when I see my own photo, reflection, or image in a security TV monitor because I can't believe my own eyes that it's ME who is that big.

Just remembered one: I can't wait to not have my arse cheek pinched/caught as I sit on a toilet with a loose seat that shifts off in one direction while I overcompensate in the other direction. Ouchie.

Can't wait not having to think "Am I going to be able to fit on this ride" while standing in line to get on a rollercoaster. Torture...LOL

I haven't been to Six Flags in 15 yrs and it was snug back then. I can't wait to be able to take my son.

Wow reading some of these post made me laugh!

Here I go:

I can't wait to fly on a pane, take a cruise

Can't wait to be able to ride a bike and go skating with my kids

Can't wait to cross my legs

Can't wait to actually go to a store for my clothes instead of online

Can't wait to be a happier HEALTHY ME!!!

I can't wait to not wear something under my dress or skirt to keep my inner thighs from getting the dreaded "chub rub" redness and pain

I know this sounds weird, but have you tried using antiperspirant on your inner thighs? Works wonders for me - even during 100* summer days.

Yes! The only thing that ever worked for me was a pair of bike pants or short tight work out pants under my dress or working skirt. Baby power, antiperspirant, anti-chafing creams- nothing else worked.

Also, if up under the "girls" tends to break out or be all sweaty anti perspirant works great there too ! And not having to wear a slip under a sundress in 110 degree heat because of feeling the terror that someone might be able to see through my skirt it if I stand in the bright light !

I can't wait to not feel like I've had a 2 hour workout just taking a shower.... it's hard to wash all those fat rolls !! To not be embarrassed for my hubby to see me naked... to be able to enjoy sex without fear of how I look , to not be the blunt of everyone's jokes when I walk by , to be able to sit in the seats at concerts/sports venues..... to be able to play with my grandchild after it's born....Most importantly I can't wait for the real me that has been trapped , held prisoner for so many years to finally come out and live instead of just existing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
