"Bariatric Pal celebrity " :lol:

you "silly" head :D

all of us are celebrities :)

went to my family doctor the other day

we talked about my health, lab results i just had, stuff like that

through out my visit

i kept bringing up my surgery/weight, referring to "old" life

these comments were part of me in the past

"its" like living in one state for years and years

i will always remember where i came from

but i'm so happy where i live now :)

I won't miss the print marks on my waist from tight jeans and every sexy shoe hurting my feet

While I don't wear sexy shoes being a guy and all (though there's nothing wrong with the guys that do...) ... I can relate to the print marks. They get SOO itchy, and I think I got a perms-bruise of some sort on my waist line from that. There's a splotch of darker skin right where my tight pants would always be bunched-up some.

I will not miss:

Taking Medication

Not being able to stand and/or shop longer than 30 minutes because of my back hurting

Asking for an extender on the plane

Hoping to fit in the booths at the restaurant

Fear of having a heart attack or being diagnosed with diabetes

I will not miss the mean treatment from people who judge me and never really get to know me because I am fat.

I will not miss feeling like I need a full body bra because of the jiggle and bouncing while running... @ Lexie I am down to a b cup from a d cup... Don't miss that either ;)

I will not miss the inner legs of my jeans wearing out.

I look forward to finding a bra the right size. You really can't find a 48 b. I look forward to not having to get my husband to ask for a seatbelt extender on planes because I'm too embarrassed. I won't miss aching joints from holding up extra weight. I look forward to being able to share clothes with my friends.

I won't miss seeing that big butt or stomach of mine in the mirror!

No more back aches! No more knee pain! Especially when I want to go on a walk with my husband! I will no longer get winded from just walking, and will be able to walk farther than normal without having to sit down!

Using the stairs again and not getting winded...

Reversing sleep apnea - hypertension - pre diabetes

I'll be able to sit comfortably at concerts, and can ditch the seat belt extender when I go on flights in the future!

I'll be able to do something my husband has asked me to do for several months now! Get rid of the clothes that I can no longer wear! (And it won't be my skinnier clothes that I'll be getting rid of)! Well.... maybe - because they'll be getting too big to wear - which leads to...

SHOPPING! I'll be able to shop in the Women's department, and not Plus Size. I'll have more of a selection of clothing to chose from!

And most of all - liking myself again!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
