Ok when I'm feeling lousy I just have to come and read these... I love 'em all! Here's another that I didn't realize until yesterday. My husband and I rode into town together (in my minivan) and he had to move the seat back! As I moved it forward again, I thought geez, my tummy isn't hitting the steering wheel and I'm driving with my whole foot not just my tippy toes (because I had to have the seat so far back)!!!

Don't need to worry about fitting in a restaurant booth or getting the door shut in a restroom.

I haven't been to this thread in awhile, but I was thinking of one today so I came and read up on all the latest posts. Anyways I would love not being the one who creaks the wood floors in our house so loud! It's awful! Especially when we have company over and I have to get up and walk around when everyone is quiet! It's like I know what everyone is thinking but atleast no one says anything! Oh and since it's that time of the month I thought it'd be nice not to struggle so hard to put a tampon in! Lol we got a lot to look forward to!!!!

Buying fast food and people looking at you like you don't have the right to eat too.

There are some.great ones on here I'm looking forward to:

1. Being able to hike, ski and do marathons with all my really athletic coworkers.

2. Go to my kids events without feeling.embarrassed for them because I know people are staring at me.

3. Dancing again. Practicing tap and ballet with my girls.

4. Being able to sneak a quickie in with my husband just about anywhere in our house.

5. Standing out at work for my performance and not my.weight.

I wont have to hide in my house anymore, for fear of frightening small children, or being mocked by jerks.

I wont have to lie on my drivers license anymore

I wont have to keep a variety of clothing sizes in my house because my weight goes up and down and up again, and so do my sizes (room is overflowing from sizes 20 to 28.

I can shop in nicer clothing stores and fit!

I wont have to be afraid of ruining the shocks when i sit in the backseat of someone's car.

I wont have to sweat all the time.

My feet and ankles and knees and back wont hurt so much.

I might even feel sexy?

The restroom definitely. Some of them are so small!

I'll be able to button my winter coat! And be able to bend over far enough to get my boots on. Every season will be more comfortable! I'm already noticing that I can dress more comfortable for this heat wave we're having...

Surgery May 30, pre-surgery weight 233, day of surgery 221, current weight 192! Happy, happy! :-)

Being able to carry a child with me and baby being healthy. Having a real wedding without feeling like a washed up whale in a dress. Seeing my hubby come back from deployment to a hot wife. Be able to get picked up and not afraid that I will break my hubbys back. Be able to look like my age instead of a older lady due to my weight. Not be made fun of anymore in my lifetime. And the most important, to be healthy.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
