I can't wait to not have to position my 1 1/2 yr old beside my roll when I hold him!

To not have to grab something to turn over in bed!

To have sex with the lights on;)

And to buy clothes because I like it not because it's long enough!

I can't wait to be not being too big bellied to have sex with the hubby while on top! Being short and big belly getting in the way make it impossible.

I can't wait to not being able to wear heels because my feet hurt and swollen. Also, I can't wait to not have to buy shoes in special widths unknown to man because of the swelling. Ladies 5.5EEE not an easy size.

I can't wait to not have to buy slip-on shoes only because I can't bend down to tie laces.

I can't wait to not be able to go to the bathroom in public places because the space is too small or the toilet too high to make cleaning myself possible. (Again, short & fat bad combo).

I can't wait to cross my legs. The fat and severe inflexibility that goes with it make it impossible.

I can't wait to not looking like a slob every time I eat something.

I can't wait to not having my fat roll on my desk and strike keyboard keys when I go to answer the phone.

1. Cart around 100 pounds that don't belong to me;

2. Make sure I have the "right size" pants for the day--I've got,like, six different sizes in my closet;

3. Deny that face in the mirror (who on earth is that fat girl who kinda looks like me?);

4. Think about my weight and the struggles it brings ( heart, clothes, social,etc.) all day every day;

5. Worry that when I do some ordinary thing--like sweep the front walk--that I'm going to pull a muscle and injure myself because I'm so out of shape;

6. See these healthy slim women on television and wonder why I feel like I've never gotten to live my own life (some fatso took it over and is holding me prisoner); and finally,

7. Have THIS as a problem and have to step on scales in front of medical professionals (yup, I've got a problem), and face major surgery to deal with it. I'm trying to say that the other stuff in my life doesn't require removing 85percent of me to fix.

One of most frightening things that happened to me this summer was being at a local amusement park and my adolescent boy wanted to go on a roller coaster. I wasn't going to for different reasons but nonetheless they had a seat to sit in prior to the ride to see if you fit. No more measuring height. This time it was a matter if my fat ARSE would fit! Humiliating.

I know that feeling. I live 2 miles from an amusement park and every time we pass it my granddaughter asks me to take her. I thank God she is still too little & I can use that excuse for not taking her rather than her Nana is too fat to ride the rides with her.

Looking foward to NOT standing on my daily commute because I'm embarrassed to share a 2-seater.[/quote']

Me either. It's been so long since I've tucked in my shirt.

*I've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, but couldn't stand the thought of myself in a wetsuit (manatee anyone?).

*To have my grandmother quit sending me diet books and clothed that are too small every year for Christmas.

*To not have wear "bloomers" under my dresses to protect my thighs.

*Knit a sweater with only one pack of yarn instead of two.

* To be able to paint my own toenails.

ETA: *To not be the one slowing everyone else down on hikes/trips/other adventures because I get so tired.

I can't wait for people to not assume I'm single because of my weight and not the fact that I'm an a*****e

To not always feel the need to be an a*****e because I refuse to be referred to as jolly

I can't wait to NOT have sore feet. And sore ankles. And sore knees. And sore hips. And a sore back.

I am with you on that too!

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']

My belly turns the oven on. It has touch controls and when I lean over it starts to preheat

Wow, I just realized how much money I will save on yarn! I mostly knit or crochet for my daughter because it's too expensive to buy the yarn for things for me. :)

Haha...my belly does that too. And it helps me drive because it is rubbing the steering wheel when I drive. Turns on the washer/dryer when I lean in to get my clothes. I could go on and on about how "helpful" my belly is.

      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

      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!
