Why i want this surgery



Recommended Posts

I thought it would be fun to list the little things people take for granted being thin obviously it's for health but here is my others why I can't share out loud for fear of embarrassment

Ride roller coasters

Shop at gift stores for souvenirs like a cute shirt/jacket

Clipping/painting toenails

Wipe my butt and feeling clean afterwards walking farther than the kitchen

Helping my kids potty train

Sitting cross cross in the floor

Sitting in a booth

Have one/two sizes of clothes not all

Not being twice the size of my spouse

These are a few things that I would like to add, because now I can, after VSG!

Cross my legs like a lady

Run a 5K

Wrap a NORMAL sized towel around me and not have to use a beach towel

Being able to look at and wear cute lingerie (and just cute clothes in general)

Not having to take a whole handful of medicine

Being referred to as Slim, Skinny, petite, slender, TINY

There is so much fun to be had crossing and uncrossing your legs, lol!! Other great things are:

Wearing knee boots off the shelf

High heels, without getting sore knees

Ladies' wrist watch (rather than having to buy a man's)

Hold ups with lacy tops

Buying normal sized clothes from normal shops

Squeezing between tables in a cafe with ease (and without my backside whacking the cups on the table behind me !)

Running up stairs and still being able to have a conversation after

Not worrying how full the bath is when I get in

I could go on, tglastchance, but you get the picture. And like Susie in Lima, I will never tire of being told now little I am:-)))))

I can think of a few things..

-Trying on clothing before purchasing it

- Enjoying swimming-wearing a swimsuit

- Comfortably eating at social events particularly small dining events

- Not hearing chairs creaking their displeasure when you sit on them

lets see the list is long but I will name a few reasons...I would like to dance a full hip hop song with my daughter, walk up a flight of stairs on my cellphone and not have to end the call for being out of breath, to be healthier, live longer, do things I enjoy doing, not afraid of stores in the mall any longer, no longer hide behind my kids in pictures to hide majority of my body, to become more outgoing etc.....

I would like to dance a full hip hop song with my daughter

I am a dance mom and the other dance moms have been trying to get me to take adult hip hop with them and I won't do it. I'm hoping after the first of the year to do it.

My list includes:

Roller coasters

Shopping out of the plus size

Cute shoes

Running a mile

Dancing

There is more but it's early.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
