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.

I Will not miss trying to hide the inner thighs of my pants because I have worn the material away. I will not miss buttons popping and zippers breaking. I will not miss weighing more than my husband. I will not miss being a couch potatoe

Yesssssss I'm smaller then hubby ha

Love this!

I wont miss NOT fitting in the bath tub.

I wont miss not having a big enough towel.

I wont miss averting my eyes when I see a stranger looking at me and trying to shrink away.

Did you go in the tub & the Water went all the way up? I hated that. I can bathe with both kids in the tub with me now

I wont miss trying to find plus sized petites. Talk about an oxymoron. I wont miss people thinking im older than my sister who is thin and has five years on me. I wont miss worrying about airplane seatbelt or horrors of all horrors the tray. Oh and I definitely wont miss not being treated like a woman by men who can't get past your looks. Look me in the eyes damnit fat isn't contagious.

Right! Fat isn't contagious

Don't cry! Are you pre op? This wasn't supposed to make anyone feel bad' date=' you should feel GOOD because you are on your way to a better, healthier life, full of possibilities! You need to feel defiant and powerful! Say "l WON'T MISS NOT BEING SPONTANEOUS WITH MY HUSBAND!!!" And say it smiling! There is so much to look forward to. And just think - your 2yr old will never remember you as you are now. She will always know you as you will be! :-)[/quote']

Keep your head up! I was fat & had everything me toon minus back boobs lmbo but look at me. Let me inspire you. Message me I'm here for you. Your not alone.

-HAVING to go clothes shopping( now ill want to!)

Oh I could go on..... There's a million things!

I will not miss people telling me that I just need to exercise more, then I won't need surgery. I try to explain that exercising at this weight is almost impossible. So tired of crying by myself from other people's comments.

I'm trying to keep my sense of humor. In a few months it won't be an issue anymore. People with no filters will still be putting there foot in their mouths but it'll be over some other stupid thing! Lol

I won't miss having to put deodorant in places not meant for deodorant. I won't miss feeling embarassed to eat in front of people. I especially won't miss being the "fat girl" everywhere I go.
