I wont miss sweating so bad that i get rashes in betweem rolls.

Ugh, I know, those hurt. I started putting deodorant under my belly so I didn't sweat there as much. Can't wait until I only need to use deodorant where its supposed to go!!!

Sadly, until I hit the lottery and can get it removed, I will need something under my floppy tummy and boobs. Too much saggage :(

Funny one! My license still reads 110lbs. That was my weight in 1980! I went to 115 lbs when I married in 1982. Then I blew up like a balloon when I got pregnant with my twins in 1986. I was never small again. My original license weight never got changed - evidently no one looks at the weight on them. Lol

I havent checked out my license in a while....so after reading these comments about it I had to go look.... I am ALMOST down to the weight I said I was on my license...!! I know the ladies that make the license in our town must laugh their butts off sometimes. I was 370lbs plus and my license says 253, who was I kidding??? Did I really think I was hiding all that?

I'm looking forward to just being able to look at myself, whether in pictures on Facebook, my image in a mirror or my reflection as I walk toward a glass door. I've become so accustomed to simply avoiding these things, it's second nature. Also, having my shadow not be twice as big as the person I'm walking with. My surgery is schedule August 26, I need to change.

Jumping in the pool and actually being able to swim on the bottom and not shooting to the surface like a rocket because the fat makes you float, I used to hate trying to get something out of the drain in the deep end because I would jump in and touch the bottom and before I could grab whatever was in the drain my fat would speed me to the surface. My kids would love to ride on my back when I went under cause I thought I was going under but not really. I just bobbed along the surface. I was their flotation device.

I totally agree, I used to be a stylist and hated having a mirror at my station!

I was able to buy a pair of high heels that weren't wide widths! I never used to be able to fit shoes at JC Penny's, now I'm strutting in my new high heeled wedges.

I just came across one today :(

My friends are all going tubing down the river this Saturday- and I just pulled up the website:

"Inflatable kayaks, Rafts and our New TubePro Double tubes are better and safer options for kids and Adults who don't fall under the recommended age, size and weight."

How embarrassing. There is another thing I will be making an excuse to miss. So.....I am excited to stop making up excuses why I have to miss fun activities with my friends and family.

This is my very first post (I found this forum today) and I am cracking up over here! I am so with all of you! I can't wait to paint my toenails' date=' be able to "groom" again, wrap a bath towel all the way around, quit sweating so much, be able to shop in normal stores, wear heals.....so much to look forward to![/quote']

So my very 1st post was a year ago, and...

I can paint my toenails,

I am "groomed",

Even the tiny towels at the gym (yes, GYM) fit,

I'm not sweating anymore,

I can shop anywhere I want,

And I wear heels!!!

      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!!
