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".

UGH!! The "pretty face" **** can kiss my ass!! LOL Total peeve. It's the worst back handed "compliment" ever. My whole life I heard this! If I never hear it again it'll be too soon.

I pretty much agree with all of yours.

Able to shop & find something that fits in a dept store that isn't a Women's ext size store or has a W after the number.

Able to get on an amusement park ride with my kid without the fear of not fitting

So many things!

To not always be the fattest person in the room

To be able to travel internationally again and not immediately stand out as the "fat American" (or have people point, laugh, make rude comments) :(

To shop and buy regular sized clothes

To go on dates with successful men that don't have fat fetishes (and find someone to marry!)

To learn to scuba dive!

To not be afraid of breaking a folding chair, fit in a seat, etc.

To really live and not let my weight hold me back!!

Hmm. Can't remember when the daily noise stopped but I had a bite of my husbands burger last night and my stomach howled for a while over it (I've got to remember my sleeve doesn't like ground meat, it really was just a small bite to taste too!) and I'm 8 months post op but I'm sure everybody is different. As long as its not painful, I wouldn't worry about it.

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

One of the reasons I decided to get this surgery now is because with the last 20-25 pounds I've gained, for the first time, I started to worry about the crushing my husband thing. It's making me self conscious an inhibited during adult activities.

Understandable I felt like that when my husband and I were the same weight with me being only 5'2 and him being 6'2 I never thought I would have to worry about being too big for him but when the scale climbed and we were the same weight @ over 220 lbs it was all I could think about the bedroom was just not the same....

It will be better for you I now weigh less than my hubs by over 50lbs even though he too has lost a little weight and I have definitely noticed a change in our "activities" ;)

      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!!
