I am 27 and I have never...

...Truely felt comfortable in any clothes

...worn a bikini

...just felt alright in a bathing suit in general

...bought clothes bc I liked them, not just bc they fit

...been waxed (accept for my eyebrows)

...not felt like the "fat friend"

...felt comfortable being "on top" even though my husband loves it!

This will all change... I was sleeved on 12.12.2012, I am down almost 40lbs

I am rite there with you

35 and

* never been kissed

* never been asked out on a date

* never had a wax...down there

* never worn a bikini

I'm sure I have more but they're the top 4 for now.

I know how you feel. Even though I have been kissed, I have had very few relationships and my last one was almost 7 years ago. The thing that really sucks is even though I am way over weight my lobito leaves nothing to be desired and when I have the self confidence of a bug it dose nothing to help solve that problem or catch a guy, if you know what I mean...lol

As girls we dream up these ideas of what our life is going to be like when we grow up. In my dream, I was married around 25 with a couple kids by the time I was 30. Well, now I have turned 30 and don't even have a date for the ball...

I am really looking forward to getting my surgery and changing my life and how I feel about myself.

Oh and even though I have been kissed, The rest of my list is the same.

Never been out on a date

(go figure huh? a boyfriend but no real date! yes he was a looser, I know that now...lol)

No waxing (but I am not supper bummed on that one yet)

No bikini... (but I will )

Good luck with everything, Keep that hope alive,

We will loose this weight

We are beautiful

WE ARE WORTH IT!!!!

Hi Rosie! I envy that you are 21 and going to change the things you listed to things you will do! I am 35 and would give anything to have done this in my early 20s. You are going to be dressing in All the latest fashions and have lots of men swooning over you before you know it. As far as standing to work you will be running circles around that job... but trust me those jobs still suck lol.

Dont be sad , keep thinking of all the great things youre gonna be doing the rest of your life! :)

I am 50 and I have never:

  • been sweeped off my feet (carried) by a man
  • worn a 2 piece in public (have in my backyard but only there)
  • been comfortable having a family picture done with my children
  • worn less than a 16 that I can remember
  • been up in a hot air balloon
  • not have the inner thigh wear out first on my pants

What I have done:

  • went to Russia by myself and adopted two wonderful children
  • had great friendships
  • realized that I am a dang good person and I deserve to be loved--learned to love myself first
  • has someone who wouldn't let me hide my body from them and made me feel sexy even though I was heavy
  • bought a house on my own
  • have been on a cruise, snorkled, swam in the ocean
  • moved to Idaho to go to college not knowing anyone
  • moved to Missouri, from Georgia, and built a new life for myself with my children

I see weight loss as a way to be healthier and more confident and to try and be the BEST Me I Can Be!

Hmm I've done so many things on this thread that have been mentioned...traveled the world, piercings, clubs, festivals, college...

But one thing that I'm working to change on the eve of my 26th birthday is working to have a Meaningful relationship as opposed to just friend with benefits. I see all my friend engaged or married. Not that I want to be married just yet but I need to work on having a long term relationship with Someone who's actually worth it. (Not losers in the past) lol.

I'm 29 (30 in May). I have always pushed people away; because I didn't love myself. I love me down deep inside, but not my outside self. I have been married and divorced twice. Both were really bad relationships; but being overweight I was not happy being alone. I am currently single and happy to be getting out and finally remembering that I can love myself. This weight loss surgery is a tool to help me love myself more. I have always wanted to ride a mechincal bull, wear a full two piece swimsuit; go four wheeler riding in a tank top; wear shorts that were not bought in the plus section. I want to wear those cute cloths everyone else wears. I want to be noticed as a girl; not just another one of the guys. I want to wear high cowgirl boots; without have to scrunch them down cause my calves are too fat. I want to go out in the boat on the weekends. I want to get out and play baseball with my son; go fishing; and my number on goal is to go deep sea fishing and take pictures and look damn good in them! :)

Great thread, I hope that each of you gets exactly what you are wanting to to or to be!

I'm 48, and I've never:

been waxed down there

felt good about how I look

been very successful on a diet

loved having my picture taken

had cowgirl sex

went scuba diving

walked in a walk-a-thon race

jumped out of an airplane (but I will someday)

But I have done white Water rafting, hot air balloon, and a lot of other exciting things.... kind of a thrill seeker:)

      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!!
