While I'm waiting to be sleeved, I constantly look forward to being healthy and slim. There are many daily reminders of why I decided to embark on this adventure.

We've all had moments where we think to ourselves, "Oh, I can't wait to NOT have to do this anymore!" For instance, having to "go by feel" to buckle up your seatbelt in the car, having to wake up to turn over in bed, sweating continuously...

What are some of yours?

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.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard that!

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!!

I don't know about all of you, but I just wanna look good naked!

When does it stop I'm 3 months post op

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.

Have to look thru the three items on the rack in my size and have tons of options

I can't wait to have my hubby pick me up without fear I will break his back.

I can't wait to go to a concert and not feel like I'm in someone's space!

I can't wait to actually feel sexy when my DH tells me I am!

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"

to get a Tummy tuck and breast done

weight less than my sister ( she was always the thin one)
