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



Recommended Posts

To not get stuck in small chairs.....Went to the salon today and they only have 1 size chair with armrests that just barely let my big butt in there. Wasn't paying attention when I got up and the chair came with me - Embarrassing! The ladies around me laughed and I laughed it off, but I was silently thanking my sleeve that I'll not go through that again next time I'm there.

Love this thread makes me laughter and cry And I can't wait for all the same things and even my 5 1/2 year old daughter whispered to me yesterday while we were at the nail salon

"Mommy after surgery you won't have to sit on my chair too, just yours" my butt's so big it spills over to the chair next to me LOL

Then once at home she says out loud in front of my mom and aunt who are totally supportive of me

"Mommy after surgery you won't rip your pants either" ... My thighs rub together and wear out the middle

So it seems I'm not the only one totally excited abut the new me kids gotta love them, I just wonder what else she looks forward to

PEOPLE ACTUALLY SAY THAT TO YOU??

Only a few really good friends from back in the skinny days were like whoah!! What happend who did this to you??? They couldn't believe I let myself go and a few blame my ex, one friend actually told him that he fattened me up so no one else would look at me/ like me and I could never leave him... Yikes

So another I can't wait is to reunite with old friends. And look just as good if not better than them :))))

I cannot wait to not..

Worrying if I can buckle my seatbelt

That they will sit me at a booth in a restraunt

Fear of not being able to sit in the seats at concerts, sporting events etc.

Worrying if I can fit in the seats at a beauty salon

My lower back hurting when I walk

My upper back hurting from being to busty (Hopefully I lose boob)

Getting out of breath when I walk

Hearing my extended family (you know those you only see once a year at a big family function, great aunts and uncles, 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins) saying things like "Wow you've become a big girl" "I remember you when you was this big, you was so small" and crap like that.

I have a friend who decided about 6 months ago he was going to lose weight and work out. And he did he lost about 35lbs in 5 months. During that time he REALLY bashed me and put me down for my weight. Rubbing it in my face that I couldn't do as much as he could, and how much he was losing etc. He really made me feel bad about myself. I can't wait to the day he can't do that to me anymore!

Not having to feel like it's killing me to tie my shoes..oh and when I tie my shoes they won't be tied on the side..lol.

I can think of a lot more things I can't wait to do lol like being able to ride a roller coaster and not worrying about fitting in the seat, being able to wear boats..those tall ones! Wearing dresses, I am going to wear tons of dresses! Riding a bike, hopefully get a few dates and meet someone nice..lol. When I go to weddings dancing my butt off, swimming and not feeling like a whale, or some freak..oh and have an actual swimming suit. The past two years I combined shorts/skirts, and shirts to make my own make shift swimming suit. I want an actual one! OK got off track sorry.

I can't wait to take a vacation and actually concentrate on having fun. Usually I'm planning how I will lose weight so I'll be thin on my next vacation.

Finally feel like my husbands compliments are true.

Not be the fat mommy in my sons kindergarten class.

I can't wait to not step up and down a 2 step bench at my sons games without being in pain.

Sitting down in a chair in public and not have my shirt ride up to show off my big belly. I hate when that happens.

Sitting down at work and home without having my back ache.

Take a compliment without second guessing it.

Have to shop at a Plus size store.

I can't wait to not hear "ur so pretty, if u just lost some weight u would be perfect " from a guy. Tired of being the fat friend. Tired of going to the club and being the fat girl at the club and feel like everyone is wondering why I'm there. To have my husband's shirt b way to big on me instead of fitting just right. To having a smaller pant size than my husband. Ect

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
