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?

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.

See ..now I am just mischievous enough to play along!

I dont' know about women, but there are entire subset of gay men who are into bigger guys, especially if they're hairy (usually called "bears"). When I started gaining weight I was a real hit with these men. :blink:

My best guy friend is a bear & he is very happy with it, but I want him to lose cause he is only 30 & is a really bad diabetic.

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!

I'm still waiting for surgery and no matter how many times I read it, the "forget to eat" comment seems ridiculous! I can't wait until I understand!

It's real and happens often when I get busy at work.

It's not so much that I forget. It's really that I just don't feel like it. You're not hungry and it's a bit of a chore early on to eat. It's real!

That is very true!

Today my favorite thing is being able to drink a cup of hot tea on a cold morning and being full from it.

My least favorite thing today is that my "I don't feel like eating" has started to disappear unless I am very busy. My bored eating is coming into play again and it is VERY scary! It is such a mind game we play sometimes!!

I love reading this thread, I can't wait to add with my own Favorites/ least favorites.

:)

It's funny' date=' 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.[/quote']

That's how I feel! I don't feel like the big girl....UNTIL I see a picture of myself. But that will soon chang!!!

Favorite-My clothes (now mostly goodwill and thrift stores) fit so much better, you can't beat 5.99 jeans and 2.99 denim skirts.

Least Favorite-When I was bigger and would go out walking when I crossed the street people would try to run me over. Now when I went for a run yesterday, several people backed up in the street and a few guys smiled and waved. WOW...Things I never noticed.

Favorite: when I catch my husband just looking at me for no reason, and he has such a great look on his face!

Least Favorite: the sagging boobs!

I'm so with you on the sagging boobs! I call them my fried eggs now. :)

My favorite is that I am not hungry. Ever.

The worst is and may always be exercise! Although it is much easier than before, I still hate every single second of it.

Most favorite: Not being so physically limited! I am riding horses, can easily climb in and out of things etc. - just have normal physical abilities again!

Least favorite: I think facing the realities of long term / keeping the weight off.

Love this thread!

Favorite thing: getting out the shower, looking down at my feet, and seeing EVERTHING lol. Also when someone looks at my Drivers License and says "that's not you!"

Less favorite thing: The stalls!

As for the chubby chaser thing, I always was thrilled to pick up really hot guys. I took me a while to figure out that these guys are only into larger men. I also know women like this. I like my guys a bit smaller and somewhat but not overly fem and asian and latino. Was talking to my gay counsin last month and he is into older hairy somewhat bigger men. We determined it is common for the gays to like oposite of yourself.

On another note, I ll be getting sleeve 10/8 and hoping I'll look hot again. Just renewed my passport and noticed how great I looked 10 years 80 pounds ago. I can't wait but am a bit scared. I like reading about peoples stories. Am hoping the scars are tiny and the loose skin not a big deal. Are scars or loose skin anyones least fav on here?
