My surgery is day after tomorrow. I'm not nervous about it but I am a little worried I may have forgotten to do something to prepare for it. So to distract myself I am playing a little game called 'Things I will not miss'.

These are only SOME of the things I will not miss:

- clueless people saying 'Congratulations! When are you due?' (Really people?! I am 53 years old!)

- buying clothes whose only redeeming quality is that they fit.

- Rashes from sweating

- back and knee pain

- snoring (I have a feeling my hubby won't miss this one either)

- pretending to wear a seatbelt that doesn't... quite... reach.

- watching from the sidelines while every one else has fun.

So many of us have the same things we won't miss ..... I've tried to explain some to.my.husband but he just doesn't get it....so here are my top things i wont miss:

1)weighing more than my husband

2) making sure we get a table at a restaurant cuz i know i wont fit in a booth

3)telling people im afraid of roller coasters because i dont want to be embarrassed by not fitting

4)being tired all the time

5) not being able to wear my seat belt

6)having to drive to fl instead of fly because im afraid they will make me pay for an extra seat

7)wearing clothes because they fit not because i like them

8) my feet and knees hurting all the time

9)tmi ...but the.same sex positions all the time lol

10)telling people i want to stand at bbqs and parties because they only have the seats with arms

11)sweating for no reason but im so big

12) tmi..not being able to see my um lady parts lol

13)getting tired just from going up stairs

14)feeling crappy all the time

15) shopping at lanr bryant and the avenue lol

SW 363lbs Surg Date 4/16/2013 CW 278lbs

I like your #7 - wearing non-elastic waist jeans. That is one of my favorites! And now my work slacks have those little metal clip-closures. I NEVER trusted those to hold my... GIRTH... before! I just knew they weren't up to the job of decently containing me! I'm really short but for the first time in 28 years I feel petite! Lol

I won't miss icky moisture barrier cause I sweat and have yucky chafing. Heck I won't miss sweating so much all the time period!!!
