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



Recommended Posts

I can't wait to not have a rash under my boobs (or find food in my bra when I take it off)

I can't wait to stop accidentally bleaching the belly line of my shirts when I clean the kitchen counters

Ahh' date=' not holding my breath to put on a shoe.

To not have little kids tell me I must be a good cook because I'm fat (actually happened)

TMI but to not fear crushing my hubby during 'adult activities'

And this is a big one for me: to NOT make fun of myself before someone else can.[/quote']

You actually made me cry. I'm such a wuss!! I always try and crack a joke at myself before anyone else can!

I can't wait to not be the biggest one at the dinner table when we have family dinners.

I can't wait to be able to go swimming with my kids without having to wear a tshirt and shorts.

I can't wait to not hate summer time and wearing summer clothing!

I can't wait for when I feel like my mom is just as proud to introduce me to her colleagues as she is my beautiful (and in shape) sister.

I was just reading through several of these posts and a much as I hate that we all feel this way, it sure is nice knowing there are others who worry about the same things that I do.

Just when you think you are the only person who feels a certain way, this place reminds me that so many of us are alike. It's nice fitting in! :)

Can't wait to not hear "...but you have such a pretty face" said to me directly as if it's a compliment!

Can't wait to rock the fashion and styles I truly love and that's fitting for a trendy 28-year old girl!

Can't wait to not be the "fat friend".

I HEAR YA!!!!

I can't wait to NOT feel so high up off the bed when I'm just lying flat. If that makes sense.

Totally understand, that s the same with sitting on something (couch, chair,etc).. You seem so high up & the skinny person next to you seems very short or low...

I can't wait to NOT wear my Spanx with everything to work just so I can look a tiny bit smaller.

I hear that! Or my body magic and any other $200 dollar shapewear!

I fly a lot for work and the best feeling was not having to ask for a seat belt extender and actually have so much room now in the seats and seatbelt is swimming on me. Lol. I also used to only fly business or first class because the seats are bigger. Love seating coach now!!! Lol

I can't wait till I don't run out of breathe. Till I don't have to take shot for my diabetes. Till I'm no longer the elephant in the room. Till I can dress up and feel sexy. Till I have energy to run after my little ones. Till food isn't the boss of me.

I can't wait to:

1. Not get a panic attack every time I fly because I'm waiting for the day they tell me I needed to buy two tickets.

2. To be able to go on those stand up electric carts when I visit family in Hawaii.

3. Do do multiple activities like scuba dive without being over the weight limit.... **** I can't wait to not have to LOOK UP THE WEIGHT LIMITS ON EVERYTHING

4. Can't wait to buy my first paid of 7 jeans

5. Can't wait to not be the reason my friends, family and fiancé always walk slower or take the "shorter" but less scenic route home because they know I can't walk that far.

6. I can't wait to not hurt when I wake up or stand for long periods at a time.

7. I can't wait to have more energy to go on nightly walks by the beach with my dog.

A. I can't wait until I'm not embarrassed to go

To the beach or pool in general.

Just to name a few:)

Not worry if I can fit in a booth.

Be able to play with my grandkids on the floor and be able to get up easily.

To loss enough weight that I don't feel like my family is embarrassed to be seen with me.

Not sneeze and pee at the same time and to stop wearing pads everyday because of it.

Fly for the first time.

Be healthy and enjoy life with my family!

I went to a wedding in April. For the first time, no seat belt extender needed. I was so excited...what a good feeling when I was able to walk down the aisle ( not side ways) to get to my seat..

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
