Things I will not miss...



Recommended Posts

FYI Water slides freaking rock when you can just fly down em and not worry about the fire department having to use the jaws off life to pry your fat butt out when it gets wedged in.

I won't miss the paperwork and embarrassment of needing an MRI and cant fit in the darn machine so I have to get an open MRI and the only one available is many miles away and special permission and lots of paperwork is needed for that to happen. It too much so I say forget it, knowing I need that cortisone shot in my back just so I can walk a block down the street unaided!

I wont miss:

Needing a handicap placard for my car.

I wont miss:

When taking pictures, demanding people take only head shots.

I wont miss:

My mom calling me and asking "what are you doing" and I always say "in the bed watching tv". I'm tired and I just dont feel like doing stuff unless I really really have to. Yeah, being fat made me super lazy!

I won't miss the expensive fashion choices in an effort to look good

I won't miss being winded walking across campus

I won't miss pretending to click my airplane belt & praying the flight attendant doesn't catch on

I won't miss worrying if I can fit in roller coaster seats, booths, movie seats, etc

I won't miss feeling like the odd man out when I go out with friends

MOST IMPORTANTLY I won't miss my outside not matching my inside!

A lady I work with (trying to be kind) keeps saying "oh you're going to be a knock out when you're skinnier! You have the most beautiful face" seriously?? She says it every. day. Lol

I get this all the time... "When you lose the rest of that weight you're going to be a knock out"... or "Your husband wont know what to do with you when you get skinny"...... OMG! Drives me nuts!

Ooh I thought of more:

I won't miss my buttons popping on my shirt

Wearing undergarments to lock in the rolls

Crossing my legs at the knees & not the ankles

Sweating just by dialing a phone number

Buying chafing cream

i can see me in every list. I dont sweat anymore...i freeze, but thats ok... I love it!

I can do so much more now with 100lbs off...looking forward to doing even more with the next 100lbs off!

Best thing is my family is getting smaller too! both my husband and daughter are losing weight and exercising with me!! We're a "health nut" family now! Who knew we could swap all that processed junk for some fruits, veggies and Proteins and LOVE IT. We make trips to the farmers market now instead of the fast food places. Little changes at a time...but we're doing it!

That's me, too! There are no pictures of me with my family over the years. I am always behind the camera and no one ever knew why.

This made me sad <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> your kids were embarrass of you? My oldest never mention anything to me but I do feel she sorta was cuz now it's more of mom lets take photos together. Meet my friends lets go out. Come to school meetings I always did but I can tell she loves the compliments that's your sister. She holds my hands this is a 16 year old. She shows me off or tells me fix your hair or where this. She borrows my shirts & says we are the same size.

Thats a wonderful rare 16 year old girl- you are so lucky!

Being always hot at work while the skinny girls turn up the heat and complain of being cold. I keep threatening to strip down to my bra and panties. I brought a fan of my own in, its the only thing that makes it tolerable.

Ditto ditto ditto to everything else!

I dont know--- my extra weight gave me a lot of momentum, shot out of the Water slide like a cannonball! My mom snorted and laughed so hard...

And I am extra bouyant when i snorkel, but gonna need a big paddle board to float on when the seal blubber goes!

Lol, i won't miss not being able to wear high heels because no standard heel is meant to bear 300 lbs... And ditto the rubbing thighs... And back boobs... And booth seats in the restaurants...

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
