What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?

[Aussie chick 12]

I will not miss avoiding having my photo taken. There are so many times I could have had a photo taken with my kids and I would always come up with an excuse not to be in the photo. Never again!

@@katanabutterfly, its like you wrote that list for me! Better things are coming our way. There are going to be ups and downs but each day forward is another step away from being unhealthy and miserable. Imagine how good it is going to feel when our 'skinny' clothes are too loose!!! Best of luck to you :-)

@@Aussie chick,

I am camera shy so much, my Facebook newsfeed is filled with news articles and pictures of my kids. Never me. Selfies? Hell no! But I can't wait for pictures of me. Probably still not selfies, just regular old pictures!

I will not miss the amount of time it takes to get ready to go out because I've tried on 10 outfits and nothing looks good. Then crying my eyes out because I've become my mother

@@KMendez325 we're on the same boat! My husband says he can't wait for me to do the surgery and start seeing results so he doesn't have to hear me complaining that nothing fits or looks good! Have you ever seen the movie "White Chicks"? I'm that girl in the fitting room insulting myself! Lol because the scene is kind of funny but it's sad and depressing in actuality.

I am not going to miss being the heaviest person in the room most of the time when at work or with friends!

I am also NOT going to miss thinking about my weight constantly.

Oh, and being ashamed to eat in front of normal-sized people. I have no idea why I don't like doing that...I mean, they have to know that I eat...but I always feel uncomfortable at potlucks, company luncheons, etc.

Off to go stare at the calendar some more....le sigh....

Jesus... do people actually say that to you? How horribly disrespectful.

That is my favorite line from people. Cause it shows how strong I am from knocking people upside the head. I have heard "you have a pretty face if only you would lose a few to match the bottom with it".

[KMendez325 31]

People are so judgemental. My son said I'm taking the easy way out having the surgery. I'm sorry but removing 80% of your stomach does not constitute something that sounds remotely easy.

That is absolutely ridiculous! I don't think being overweight is a good thing I think it's horrible for our health but that kind of rudeness in not acceptable!

@@KMendez325 I hate that, too. I had a family member tell me to try doing it the natural way. I was like....have you not watched me yoyo since 1998???

Be strong! I think electing to go with surgery is a strong and resolute action.

I personally find the discrimination getting worse in the US. I have been stared at (even by family), laughed at, And even verbally attacked on social media. That is one thing I can't wait for to change!

I do not miss trying to stretch my 3X shirt to make it look a little loose, so that it doesn't cling to my gut like I'm a contestant in a wet t-shirt contest!

I have to admit I used to be one that thought surgery was the easy way out. However, being 7 weeks out now, I can say this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but also the most rewarding.

FEET.. ok this may sound weird but did anyone's feet get smaller too? Past 6 years my feet have widened and makes it hard for shoes and cannot fit in old shoes.. now I have to wear 1/2 size larger and a wide width instead of medium. Please tell me this will change too!

I'm so ready to see "my" face again.. Lol I dont know the strange face that has taken control of me... :-)

I've gone from a 9 1/2 / 10 to 8 / 8 1/2. And I'm still 60 pounds from my goal weight!
