Refusing to go out because I didn't have anything cute to wear.

Feeling inferior around others.

Thinking I wasn't good enough

Plus size shopping

Wearing sweatpants everywhere

Rejecting my friends phone calls because I knew getting dressed came along with it

Not taking pictures

I can relate to all things listed. It is so sad how doing the simple things in life such as be able to tie your shoes, sitting in a chair, riding a ride can become such a burden. I think, no, I know I wont miss the looks from people who think being over weight is contagious! All these feelings and insecurities will be a thing of the past but I will always remember the feelings they brought me and hopefully I can be an inspiration for someone else to make the journey to "Life after Obesity".

I won't miss worrying about my kids friends making fun of me. That hasn't happen but I do worry about it. And my kids getting their feelings hurt.

My baby is still young but some kids can be cruel definitely don't want it to get to that...good one

Here are things I don't miss...

Barely fitting into seats at concerts.

Not having a style' date=' I can now buy things that I like, as opposed to buying because they fit.

Being the biggest person in the group

Chub rub on my pants

Shopping at plus size stores

Yes, my best friend is a double zero. I am always the biggest one in the group. We look like the number 10, but not for long. I had my nut appointment today, and next week is my psych appointment, hopefully a date not long after that.

The aches and pains

The plus size stores

The tight shoes

Dressing like an older lady

The stressful a bath can be because the shower is to small

How long it takes to dry yourself

The folds and rash of the skin

The hard it is to bend down and tie my shoes

The rubbing of my legs

Avoiding the mirror

My lack of confidence

What about u ?

All of the above....but most of all the FEAR of dying before my kids become adults!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
