I keep thinking of a new one everyday. This is today's... I most definitely will not miss my underwear rolling down underneath the crease of my stomach. Is it only me who has this problem?

Most definitely not - happens to a lot of us ????

I will not miss everyone always hearing me coming because my thighs rub together and make that swishing noise. My co-worker jokingly said I always know it's you. She didn't mean any harm but it just made me think of something else I will not miss

I will not miss hating cloths shopping

I will not miss dreading going to some function or another because people will see how fat I am and my fiancé is skinny and them probably wondering what he's doing with me.

I will not miss over eating

I will not miss feeling guilty about everything I put in my mouth

I will not miss having to figure out what diet to try next

I will not miss being overweight

I will not miss being able to eat way more than my fiancé at times and wondering what he is thinking when he sees I have more food on my plate than he does but I'm soooo hungry I don't care

I am new to this site and already feel very comforable. I have been dealing with being over weight my entire life. Diets work for me for a couple months and I fall off the wagon. I want to enjoy my life the way it is intended to be. At this point where I am at, it's hard to just go up my stairs without huffing and puffing. I don't like who I have become. All of those things mentioned, I deal with.

1. Flying and having to smoosh my son between my husband and I because I cannot fit into one seat.

2. Wanting to nap on my days off and gorge on fast food.

3. Not being able to play beer league softball with my husband becuase I am too out of shape to run to first base and not be embarrassed.

4. Swollen ankles all the time, and I am not pregnant!

5. Being a skip and a jump away from diabetes.

6. Knee pain

7. Having only two pairs of pants that fit me, and I sew them once a month to keep the together. They are in such bad shape.

8. My chins!

9. Chaffing between my legs when it is hot out.

10. Not being able to shop with my healthy friends at the mall because nothing fits me.

11. Crying when I look in the mirror at home because I dont't know how I got to this point in my life where I weigh so much, and not knowing how to change it.

Thank you everyone for being so brave and vulnerable. I love reading everyone's posts.

Here are a few things that I definitely won't miss:

  1. Feeling invisible
  2. Feeling ugly
  3. Sweating profusely
  4. Having to buy ugly shoes
  5. Saying no when I really want to say yes
  6. Not fitting into movie theater seats
  7. Not fitting or barely fitting into restaurant booths
  8. Not being able to bend over to tie my shoes
  9. My back and knees hurting all he time
  10. Snoring
  11. My double chin and fat face
  12. Swollen ankles
  13. Being afraid to go on a date because of the rejection
  14. Being afraid
  15. Buying ugly clothes and speaking of clothes I won't miss wearing a 4X
  16. Not being able to get on the ground to play with my nieces
  17. Having to ask for a seatbelt extension when I fly
  18. Not having enough room between my belly and my steering wheel
  19. Not going to visit family because I'm so embarrassed about my weight
  20. Not being able to fit on the rides at amusement parks

Things I'm looking forward to:

  1. Feeling pretty again
  2. Feeling accomplished
  3. Going on more family vacations
  4. Exercising and feeing good
  5. Buying regular size clothing
  6. Buying beautiful shoes
  7. Going on dates
  8. Having sex! (I'm so embarrassed at how long it's been)
  9. Showing my face and not feeling ashamed
  10. Feeling like I have a voice w/o feeling judged
  11. Being able to run, hop, skip
  12. Maybe having a family of my own
  13. Getting my hair cut and actually liking what I see in the mirror
  14. Going to Disneyland and having fun like a kid again

I know there is so much more in each category. But it's all I can think of right now. Sending my best to all of you!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
