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



Recommended Posts

Can't wait

To cross my legs and sit like a lady

To not walk into a room and immediately check if I'm the biggest

To shop in stores that actually carry my style of clothing

To go to dinner and not worry that everyone is watching to see how much I eat

To not hear skinny people tell me how they stay so skinny

To take a full size pic of myself and not stand behind my daughters to cover my body

To show my daughters what determination and strength will give you

To not be the funny girl with the pretty face

And the number one reason: To feel like myself again. Oh and to totally rock my 40's!!

Your awesome.. Same here.

I Can't Wait To Not Have To:

~ avoid posting a picture of myself on Facebook cuz I don't want my high school and college friends to see me

~ feel like the whole bus went down a little when I stepped on (and I'm sure everyone noticed!)

~have sore knees, feet, back

~feel exhausted at the end of a day when I didn't really do much

~see people's surprise when they meet my husband and see what a catch he is

I'm looking forward to:

~showing my husband how much I really love him -- frequently and energetically! ;)

~ being able to shop wherever I want to

~getting into a gym routine and feeling SO STRONG!!!

I can't wait to go zip-lining and have "adult activities" while holding my stomach in order for it not to make that horrible clapping sound. To NOT ever hear "you have such a pretty face" ever again. Not make fun of my own weight! Wear a cute bathing suit and not feel I have to cover myself as soon as I get out of the pool. Become my son's role model about healthy eating and lifestyle.

Not too long ago my high heels had lost their rubber on the bottom. So just looked and sounded like I was walking on nails. I was in my neighbors house talking to her and there was a loud noise. She said "what was that?" I played dumb and said idk. She asked "Lift up your feet?" I said no and after her persisting she saw a hole in her brand new lineolium floor. I wanted to crawl under my bed forever.

I can't wait to use one hand to shave both legs. I can't wait to not be the fat girl at work. I can't wait for boots that come up my calves, dresses that are not like tents and pants that are not too long (I'm 5'3). I cant wait to be able to see all the places I shave. I want to wear sundresses and strappy sandles. I want bras and panties that match. I don't want to be fearful of folding chairs, skinny chairs and other peoples furniture in general. I hate that our couch looks like it does because of me. I want to go to amusement and Water parks. I am just ready to not be fat anymore.

      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!

      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!!
