I Get Excited When . . .



Recommended Posts

You know weight loss surgery has changed you when the following begins to happen:

I get excited when it's time to take my beloved caramel calcium chews.< /span>

I get excited when I approach the scale at the doctor's office.

I get excited when trying on sunglasses at the store and they all FIT.

I get excited when it's morning snack time and my chocolate Protein Bar awaits.

I get excited when it's time to go to the gym.

...ok, I made that last one up, but the rest are true!

What post-surgery is exciting for you?

That was hysterical! :D Thanks for the laugh....that will probably be my least favorite one too, but since I haven't been sleeved yet, I will be interested in knowing what other people post! Great thread!

I'm excited when I can physically do something I couldn't before. I am able to bend while gardening- who knew!?!?!? without feeling nauseated.

I get excited when I can do air squats and lunges without turning red.

Also when my 34 jeans fit comfortably, almost loose.

I get excited when I sit in a chair where my hips don't touch each side!!!

I get excited when I have a pile of clothes to take to the second-hand store because they are too big!!!

I get excited when those clothes I have been saving for when I lose weight I am actually able to wear!!

On the same note. Comfortable sitting in a chair at the theater last week and not spilling over. Not having to use a seatbelt extender on an airplane.

I get excited because my sex life is what I imagined it should be :P

I get excited because while my clothes don't fit long, it's not because they are getting too tight like they used to, before surgery.

I get excited because I don't have to fear going places because the chair is too tight.

I get a thrill from being able to easily tie my shoes.

I love waking up every day knowing I have the real potential to be a thin person, knowing I was not controlled by food yesterday, and I won't be today, either.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
