Things I can't wait for Post-OP.



Recommended Posts

Besides getting healthy, what other things are you looking forward to Post-Op?

Here are a few of mine:

1) fit behind my steering wheel comfortably.

2) not getting choked out by the seat belt.

3) fit into a booth when we go out to a restaurant

4) not wear my food.

5) skinny dip

6) climb the stairs at work rather then elevator.

7) fit into 98% of my clothes.

8) cross my legs

9) have a lap

10) skinny dip.

For people to stop asking me when my baby is due. I'm NOT pregnant people, I'm just fat!!!

No more plus size stores.

Sexy panties.

To NOT always be the fattest chick in the room.

To get up from my chair at a restaurant and go to the ladies room without having to plot out my path before I start walking.

To sit comfortably in ANY chair.

To be able to say I've lost 100 pounds!

Let's hope you don't fit into ANY of your clothes and that you need to buy all new smaller sizes!!

:P

I'm only 5 days post-op, but since I lost 44 pounds on the 3-month supervised diet, I noticed that I had to move the seat forward in my husband's car. He's only a half inch taller than me & weighs about 165. In the past I always had to move the seat back when I went to drive his car. My car is in the shop getting all of the "parking lot dings" fixed while he's off work.

I can't wait to/for:

1) not being afraid to garden in my front yard( bending over to pull those weeds in my shorts surely would freak out the neighbors, dog - walkers and passers-by

2)soak in the tub and be fully submerged

3)get up from sitting on the floor without the aide of nearby furniture

I just realized that there is not enough room here to complete my list!

Good luck to us all!!

1. for my husband to wrap his arms completely comfortably around me

2. to not have to scout where I fit to sit on the train (i commute on public transportation to work)

3. shop in the regular sized section

4. for my son not to point at overweight women and call them "mama" (he's 2. it's happened a few times)

5. for my ankles to roll when I walk so I don't look like frankenstein when I walk.

6. cross my legs

7. fit in the tub with my husband

8. have a lap

9. to wear dresses

10. not sweat so much just by WALKING

11. to have people move out of the way when I'm walking. When i used to be thin, people used to move out of my way. Now that i take up a good portion of an aisle it seems i'm invisible.

12. For my joints not to hurt

13. To be able to fit into clothes from nice stores/boutiques

14. wear heels again. SO looking forward to this.

15.. To not be scared to try crossfit

16. indulge in Victoria's secret clothing/lingerie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
