I'm not going to miss bumping into walls, worrying about fitting into chairs - especially airplane seats, having to shop at plus size stores and so much more! What about you?

What are you going to try as you get smaller? I want to try rock wall climbing!

I WILL NOT MISS SHOPPING FOR PLUS SIZE CLOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! Don't know what I'll try, as I really have never let my size keep me from doing things I want to do. But maybe I'll come up with something.

I will not miss that fat face in the mirror. I will not miss my moo moo dresses.

I look forward to getting nice dresses and crossing my legs. I would like to run on the treadmill and love it.

I will not miss popping buttons off clothing, standing back in a crowd, finding bruises on your body from bumping into things and sweating profusely.

There is nothing about being fat or unhealthy that I will miss. Not one single thing.

Judgmental looks from people!

Everyone telling me how pretty my face is but if I would only loose some weight

Not fitting in a chair!

I am with lipstick lady completely.

Nothing I will miss.

I look forward to living life. I don't have lofty goals of jumping out of perfectly good airplanes or bungee jumping. I don't want to learn tennis or scuba or surfing.

I just want to live without pills, asthma and the threat of diabetes.

I will not miss my double chin. I will not miss having big boobies. I know some people worry about losing their chest but I welcome a B or C cup.

I look forward to running the Honolulu Marathon. It was my goal before I gained all my weight back a few years ago. I can't wait to lose enough to start running again. And if you're going to run 26 miles, is there a better place than Hawaii??!!

I agree with the other posters, there is nothing that I will miss!

Things I can't wait for:

Not worrying if a chair/ladder/swing will hold my weight.

Skydiving. It's something I've always wanted to try but my weight has kept me from doing it.

Not using a seatbelt extender on an airplane. I feel so ashamed every time I fly because I have to ask for one before I even get to my seat. In conjunction with that, not trying to make myself as small as possible in order to try and keep the other passenger next to me from feeling smothered by the fat chick they got stuck next to.

Shopping in a boutique. I love the cute trendy clothes but they never have anything in my size.

Tying my shoes without having to prop my leg up on the bed just to reach the laces.

Wearing super cute high heels!

I could go on and on. I'm trying really hard to have the surgery by the first week of November because if I can't, it'll have to wait until next January because of my job. The sooner the better because I'm so ready to start living my life the way it's meant to be lived!

I will not miss sweating. I swear I sweat in any store like I just ran a marathon, like running down my face sweat. Even in below freezing weather. It's embarrassing.

Everything else too of course

What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?

i FOR SURE don't miss anybody asking me 'when are you due" (this was especially hurtful after 2 years of failed IVF treatments)...

i don't miss looking down and seeing a large stomach that caused me physical and emotional distress all day

i don't miss my thighs rubbing and chaffing

i don't miss having to stop half way up stairs and sucking wind like crazy

i don't miss my 3 chins

i don't miss having to constantly buy bigger sizes

i don't miss sneaking third and fourth portions of dinner after my hubs goes out to the barn for chores

i don't miss not participating in games/activities with my kids

i don't miss knowing that i would be dead in the next few years

i don't miss paying hundreds of dollars for prescriptions every month SIMPLY due to being fat

lastly, i don't miss ANYTHING about the former me. not one thing. i was fat, sick, depressed, sad and lonely. no more!

I will not MISS!

Chaffing ~ thighs and upper arms

Heaving myself out of a chair

Bending over to tie my shoe only to be stopped 6inches away by my stomach

The 4 different sizes of fat clothes that stuff my closet

Laying in bed looking at my stomach and thinking that must be the blanket bunched up, only to find out is all me when I go to poke the blanket down.

Being a contortionist to keep myself "clean" (sorry, but true and we all know it! LOL)

Disappointment in my husbands eyes.

Being to tired to keep up with my children

Not having my picture taken

The list goes on and on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Putting my shoes on from the side.

Being winded after one flight of stairs.

Buying continuously bigger clothes.

Not being able to buy the clothes I want because they don't make them in my size.

Just being fat......

I won't miss all of the things you have all listed above - especially the risk of diabetes and heart disease, which run in the family.

What I'm greatly looking forward to is

- being able to cross my legs!

- being able to run around with my grand kids!!

- being able to buy clothes off the rack in ANY store!

- being able to wear dresses shorter than maxi length because I'm no longer ashamed of my fat thighs and calves!

- buying a great pair of boots (or two) and zipping them up over my calves!

- being happy with that person in the mirror!

I'm certain there will be a hundred more moving forward. :0)
