What i won't miss about been over weight.



Recommended Posts

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

It was like I wrote this...ditto!!!!

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
