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.

U just crack me up. I love ur sense of humor. I think between u and I we would be trouble!!! I still swear I'm sweating out bacon grease..I will glide right on down.

I won't miss be the photographer at everything so that I have a reason to not be in the pictures!

I won't miss being sweltering hot in the summer hidden behind my long sleeved tops

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!

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.

HW 312' date=' pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 206.8[/quote']

I sure hope that was not the voice of experience... Lol

I won't miss be the photographer at everything so that I have a reason to not be in the pictures!

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!

U just crack me up. I love ur sense of humor. I think between u and I we would be trouble!!! I still swear I'm sweating out bacon grease..I will glide right on down.

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 soooo agree....
