[AutumnPunkin 313]

One other thing. 2 words!

Granny panties!!

Need I say more!

[caroline2 89]

How about .... While sitting in recliner using stomach to hold your drink.

[Water Nazi 61]

"underwear rolling down the belly"

ROFLMAO!!

My # 1 as well.

[Kay Burkart Gillespie 3]

I want to be able to:

Wear my wedding ring

Sit in booths without test them first

Having fun shopping for clothes

Not be the "fat sister"

Use the upstairs in my house

Be able to sit on floor and play with my grandkids

Be comfortable in movie and plane seats

Walk in stores and not use those dumb electric carts

Going into my closet and finding things that DO fit

Walk from he parked car instead of people having to drop me off at the door

Surgery in 10 days-excited but kind of scared too

[lojensen57 2]

I will add.. My grandson thinking that I am going to have a baby

[gastricsleever 259]

So, last night I went to a hockey game with my brother. I went to sit in the seat and my goodness my lower half is big! As I was squeezing my rear into the seat, someone said did you see that? That was an awesome shot! The guy behind me said "It would've been nice to see it..." and he and his buddies laughed and fist bumped.

Things I won't miss about being fat: people making such nasty comments about me.

I know there will always be mean, negative people....but the fact that people are so open in being nasty to people who are overweight, it's just frustrating.

Smiling in pictures with friends when I'm dying on the inside.

I'm getting sleeved.....

To no longer be considered pre-diabetic

To take lower doses of psych meds(?)

To be able to tie shoes without having to pull my foot up onto my lap

To be able to walk up stairs

For relief of lower back pain

For better sleep

For more energy

For more self confidence

For SEX

To know what I look like at 35 at a healthy weight

To live longer

To feel like I can go out again

To fit into airplane chairs

To fit on rollercoasters

So I can get back to skydiving as a hobby

So people calling saying, “Hey, big guy.”

For confidence to even consider entering a relationship

So I can carry things without hurting my back every time

So I can buy awesome suits for work

So I will look good in clothes

So I can flirt again

So I’m not uncomfortable seeing old friends

So my weight isn’t a discussion

So I don’t sweat as much

So I can enjoy the ocean and swimming again

So I can wear tank tops again

So I can get my tattoos finished without worrying about stretching and movement

So my ass doesn't always get stuck to the shower curtain

So when I drop food off my fork it hits the ground and not my gut

So I have fewer skin problems

So my thighs stop trying to make a fire

So I don't have cankles

So I have a flat chest

So MAYBE one day I am comfortable with my shirt off in public

So I don't have a thick neck

So I stop developing skin tags

So can stop being a hermit

So I look forward to the summer and wearing less instead of looking forward to layering it on in the winter

So I can wear a belt and not suspenders

So I can move on with life!

I won't miss

1.looking like I'm still 9 months preggo my youngest daughter will be 11 in January....

2.being told I look like a fat kid...I'm 4'9 with a baby face

3. My feet are extra small but my calves are huge...I can't wear the cute boots in my size...

4. Dressing for comfort instead of cuteness

I can't find any cute shoes in my size. I wear a 10.5 wide...wide because of my fat feet.

1. Stuffing those fat feet into size 10 med. because they were just too cute & I can "make it work". Blisters!

2. Afraid to go to my kids' schools for anything because I don't want to embarrass them.

3. Being the fat friend at the party who sits at the table & holds everyone's purses.

4. Being oinked at in Walmart in front of my kids...yes, some guy actually oinked at me! (Jerk)

5. Wearing animal prints from plus size section that make me look exactly like that animal (cow, zebra, etc.)

6. Sweating...all of that very unattractive sweating.

7. Only one comfortable "romantic position" with the hubby. Either butt is too big for this or gut is too big for that. Also, knees hurting & out of breath if attempting to "ride the bull".

8. Being the fat sister & daughter.

9. Not being flirted at (I know I'm married but it just would feel kind of nice to know others find me attractive).

10. Being afraid to go places & travel.

[Divadee35 47]

I understand everything you are saying, although i do get flirted with,it's never from the person I want it to be! I'm so over being morbid obeist, I have to start the process all over again, because I was going to do the lap band, but I backed out..so now I'm retrying but the sleeve seems better after doing my research! I go to the seminar Dec 12!

[_imgood_ 63]

I did not consider lap band because once I make this life style change I didn't want to go back and forth to the doctor I increase and decrease cc. I want to roll out of the ER and begin to manage my weight like I never could in the past. I have lost 60lbs. on my own in the last 2 years and it felt good! Now I want to move forward without my weight holding me back. The sleeve will allow ME the opportunity to do just that. Go luck to you in your journey.
