It's very comforting to know I'm not alone with all this stuff. I can relate to almost all of them. :unsure: Hopefully someday we wont have these worries anymore! :)

1. People saying "you have such a pretty face" 2. Chub rub 3. Being scared to sit in a chair 4. Getting to restaurants first just in case you can't fit in the seat. 5. Painties rolling down over your roll. 6. The only thing you can buy from Victoria Secrets is perfume and lotion. 7. Standing in the back during pictures. 8. Being embarrassed to be "on top" 9. Everyone at work asking what your ordering for lunch 10. Cute "big girl" clothes are hard to find I could go on and on. I'm hoping to have my surgery in January! Say a prayer for me!
so on point with Victoria secret! Lol!!

1. My 5 year old asking me why I'm not skinny

2. Ankle swelling

3. Always out of breath

4. NEVER in pictures, and if I'm in the background of one I delete the evidence

5. MIL calling me fat

6. Being judged by my lunch like I should be eating lettuce only

7. Dreaming of all the clothes I could wear if I was thin, but having to shop in a tiny section with no selection instead of a whole store.

I could go on forever! I've come so far. This is a great thread. How encouraging.

This is tmi' date=' but being intimate with my husband and scared to be on top, I always thought I was hurting him[/quote']

I feel the same way. He looks uncomfortable and I ask if he's okay and he says yes... but I don't know if I believe him. This I WONT miss.

I remember a time where a girl I thought I was going to marry left me for a guy 100lbs lighter. I'm not going to miss that crap at all. She left me for a skinny little guy...maybe one day I'll be the skinny guy in the story.

I don't think you would want someone that shallow Justin, your better than that

      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!!
