I won't miss my 4 year old granddaughter asking me loudly in a crowded checkout line if I have a baby in my belly! Also I won't miss anymore high school reunions because I am embarrassed about my weight.

I will not miss the pain from the weight affecting my arthritis. I will not miss the increased pain from fibromyalgia. I will not miss feeling fat when I make love to my husband. I will not miss feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I will not miss fear of running into someone I know. I will not miss feeling like I'll always be fat.

I also can't wait to have less pain from both the weight and Fibromyalgia!

I pray that after surgery, I will still have a round booty! That my behind will look nicely! Lord, please let me look like Beyoncé in my clothes!

Be around my "cute" friends and not feel awful about myself.

Hahaha, my cute friends make me feel cuter! Obviously this is flawed logic but I don't even care.

To spin this, I'm going to talk about stuff I'm looking forward to:

- Halloween costume shopping

- stocking up on CHEAP clothes (plus sizes are so expensive!)

- going to NYC to see shows again (I haven't been in so long!)

- taking a vacation (I don't even pretend I could afford a 2nd airplane ticket) to Nova Scotia, Iceland, Russia, Istanbul, Ireland, or anywhere!

- adorable outerwear (especially cable knit stuff or stuff with unusual/asymmetrical cuts)

- beating my high score on Thriller (Michael Jackson Wii game)

- riding my bike again (knees hurt too much right now!)

- sleeping through the entire night without waking up even once

- keeping up with nephews/friends kids/maybe my own some day

- a million things I probably haven't thought of. :)

I won't miss not being able to sit in a booth at a restaurant unless the table moves. Definitely won't miss the sweating in places I should not, and not being able to play with my kids because I get so tired so quickly due to my heaviness.

I won't miss being the "Fat Mom" at my kids' school

I won't miss the resentment I've grown to have for myself

I, too, won't miss the extra pain on my knees, back...everything

I CANNOT WAIT to find the perfect cocktail dress and have my husband be proud to take me out on the town

What is it with boots? I wanna be able to wear those, too!

I want to be able to take my kids to the pool during the summer and not hide under towels or a coverup

So much more...

I will not miss my bikini cut under wear rolling down! Ugh hate that sooo much! I will not miss feeling hung over the next morning from overeating or binging on sweets the night before! I will not miss feeling frustrated when nothing looks right on my body & I have to go be social while feeling sick of being in my own skin. I will not miss not wanting to be close to my bf because I feel gross. I will not miss feeling hot & sweaty because I skipped a shower & had a hot cup of coffee! Lol most of all I will not miss feeling ugly when out with my bf & there are thin beautiful woman around that I know my bf would be attracted to. Amen!

I won't miss upper body fat bulging out every time i sit.

I won't miss clothes fitting somewhat ok standing, uncomfortable when sitting.

My surgery is scheduled for December 2nd, my pre op appt is tomorrow. So the count down begins.

I am lucky to have a coworker having same surgery on the same day.

I think nearly everything that's already been mentioned I won't miss.

The looks from strangers, worrying about fitting into chairs, bumping into things, sweating and shortness of breath, being extremly limited in clothing choice, the list is endless!

The list of things I'm looking forward to is just as long I think, I have always wanted to skydive, even something as simple as going shopping with my mum and sister and being able to try things in "normal" clothing shops, going out dancing with my friends in a gorgeous dress and not feeling self conscience and judged. The number one thing I am looking forward to the most is being able to live a long and healthy life.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
