My Favorite Thing About Wls...and My Least Favorite Thing. Join In!

MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT WLS:

Today I am very happy that I have my sleeve because...

I can use the normal size bathroom stall in a public restroom and leave the handicapped stall for someone who actually needs it!!

MY LEAST FAVORITE THING:

Waitress: Was there something wrong with your meal?

Me: (red faced) No it was wonderful, could I have a box?

Favorite thing....I'm just getting to the point where I catch my reflection in the mirror and say "who is that?"

Least favorite.....all my favorite clothes are too baggy.

It's funny, even though I KNOW I was fat...until I saw myself in a picture, the way I look 117 pounds lighter is how I always "saw" myself when I looked in the mirror. I know it's weird!

As far as the clothes go, I bought a lot a Goodwill and I still do.

Favorite- all the benefits and it not being anything as scary as thought it would be- from the initial operation pain to the new way of eating.

Least favorite- and this has always been my way...I'm lazy so I don't like keeping track of things on paper- but I must make sure I do what should- Water and Protein wise. When you're not hungry you could literally forget to drink/eat for hours.

I hear what your saying about "forgetting" to eat. And to think, I used to get pi**ed when someone would tell me they "forgot" to eat. I could have throttled them..now I get it!

My favorite thing is how skinny my body is now. :wub:

My least favorite thing is that I need a face lift because I have jowls and a droopy face. :(

Favorite thing: Today, it's my waist. And the fact that I got hit on Saturday night while I was out with the girls.

Least Favorite: It's gonna sound strange, but getting hit on more is sending my head into a tailspin. I could handle it better as a big girl than I can as a medium girl and I don't know why.

Lissa ~ now it's becoming a reality! you are one sexy lady inside and out! :)

Favorite thing about WLS = weight loss

Least favorite thing = that it comes to an end and you have to really work at it to keep it off.

I've got some sags and bags I'd like to take care of too!

Favorite: The weight loss, seeing my clothes get looser and looser!

Least favorite: The stalls! Also, remembering to eat, and drink enough. Amazing.

This might sound weird but... today I am thankful for being less wasteful. When I was heavy I would just try and eat everything so I didn't waste food/money. Now that I am thinner I notice that I work harder to make good use of the foods that we have. Like making Pasta sauce with the tomatoes from the garden and pickles with the cucumbers. Trying new recipes that use what I have. I am being less lazy about it. Before if we didn't use bread before it was moldy I would just throw it out and not sweat it. Now I am pro-active and make the family some French toast for supper before it goes bad.

My least favorite thing today is saggy skin that acts like my old fat "muffin top" hanging over my pants.

My favorite thing is getting on the scale and it's almost always a lower number than the day before.,

My least favorite thing is still exercising.. ugh...

Lissa ~ now it's becoming a reality! you are one sexy lady inside and out! :)

Thanks! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. But, I'll get there! I've never been shy, as EVERYONE on VST can attest to! LOL

Favorite thing: I like how I fit into clothes, chairs, seatbelts, rides, everything.

Least favorite: The bad breath I get from drinking Protein shakes.

Favorite thing: Being able to keep up with my daughter, sitting in floor without my back hurting, walking around in general without getting out of breath, sitting in chair that I used to could not sit in comfortably, having to pull the car seat up because I feel like I am a hundred miles from the steering wheel, having people not recognize me and then seeing the look on their faces when I am finally recognized.

Least favorite thing: my thighs applaud when I run!

That's hilarious!! I literally laughed out loud! One of your favorite things is one of the things I hate. I can't stand it when people think I'm not me. My husband has been the talk of every party/function we go to. People think he is cheating.
