A friend of mine who is getting surgery around the same time is me, was cracking me up the other day when we started to think of all the fat person issues that will go away when we have our surgery. Here was our list, please add your own.

No more seat belt extensions on planes

Ability to sit in booths without having to move the table

All the buttons/snaps on our pants are broken

Sweating all the time

Ability to shop wherever we want

No more elastic

No more expensive fat people stores like Lane Bryant.

Ability to bend over and shave my.legs without passing out

Roller coaster rides!

Not using my belly roll as an arm rest when I cross my arms.

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!!!!

Being able to cut my own toenails

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.

Actually being the weight listed on my drivers license!

Yesss! I have been lying for 30 years!

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?

Oh yeah, worry that i parked too close to another car and wont be able to squeeze out the door!

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

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.

So you have a juicy big butt nothing wrong with that.

You are too funny!

How about having people look you in the eye! Nobody looks you in the eye when you're the fat girl.

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!!!
