What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

OMG! and I thought I was the only one who sweats all the time! smh.. that is the FIRST thing I cannot wait to stop doing. It is so embarrassing to be so cute and cant look anyone in the store or anywhere else in face cuz i'm sweating profusely!!!!! ugh.

For some reason I sweat really bad in places where there are fluorescent lights. I don't know, but going to malls, schools, and other public places makes me super sweaty. I always feel like they need to kick up the A/C a notch, but then I realize I'm just fat, LOL!

I am also going to throw in-- I am NOT going to miss using a TON of lotion all the time. I feel like I use like a 1/2 cup in the morning because of all the surface area. Goal, maybe a few Tablespoons ;)

But I'm serious. A full body lotion job once per day (dry, cold climate for me) has me going through a large bottle of lotion about once per month.

I basically fund Oil of Olay.

Shizwiz, you crack me up! I'm glad you posted in here - for some reason I can't get into the January Sleevers page. Grrr. I'll keep trying but I may have to contact admin to figure out what the problem is. Hope all is well xx

@@Aussie chick Hehe thanks!

I was able to get into the page OK...you might try deleting your Cookies and going again. The other day I was having issues, too. I gave up after a bit and was able to get in fine about an hour later. Good luck! :)

I'm not going to miss the feeling of walking into a room and thinking everyone is thinking about how fat I am.

I'm not going to miss being the fat friend.

I'm not going to miss being too self conscious to dance, feeling like people are laughing at me.

I'm not going to miss my weight being everyone's obvious go-to insult when shit hits the fan.

I'm not going to miss immediately taking down family pictures I've been tagged in on Facebook because of my bad self image.

I'm not going to miss my terrible asthma.

I'm not going to miss all my pants fitting on me like a rubber band fits around a marshmellow (lol)

I'm not going to miss the disgusting amount of guilt and disappointment I feel when I fail yet another diet.

I'm not going to miss the debilitating back, knee, and ankle pain I feel after a good day of hard work.

I'm not going to miss avoiding hanging out with friends, and making new friends, for fear of being judged by my weight.

I'm not going to miss wearing a sweater all year long because it's the only thing I'm comfortable wearing.

I can't wait until my outsides match my insides<3

I can't wait until I'm more than a pretty face.

I can't wait until my body doesn't have to lug around all this nonsense.

I cant wait until there's room between my body and the arm rests in movie theater seats.

I can't wait for cheek bones and collar bones!!! :]

I can't wait until I'm not judged for my waistline.

I can't wait to be able to take a bath, and still have room for more than just a couple cups of Water in the tub lol

I can't wait until my weight doesn't hold me back.

And I can't wait to see where this takes me. Let's do this damn thing ;)

I will not miss trying to find short sleeve t-shirts that don't look like rubber bands around my arms.

I will not miss kankles.

I will not miss being at the doctors office getting weighed and having the nurse set the scale to 200 and having to tell her it needs to start at 250.

I will not miss the acrobatic feat of going through a turnstile.

I will not miss every pair of pants gapping in the back.

I will not miss the fear of waiting for the day that one of my kids friends saying something about their 'fat mom' and them be embarrassed of me being their mom.

I will not miss constantly feeling fat all the time around my skinny friends. Constantly worrying if someone is judging my weight.

I will not miss making excuses to my kids at waterparks and amusement parks because I'm afraid my hips won't fit. Only has to happen once to never want to experience that again.

I just graduated with my Masters'...in the ceremony, the graduates were sitting jam-packed close to each other. In the future, I won't miss my hips and butt spilling over my chair :/ Too bad I didn't accomplish weight loss before the Masters' so I could sit comfortably during the ceremony. Not to mention worry that my zipper was going to detonate lol.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
