What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I agree with mostly everything above, but most of all, I will not miss sweating excessively, throughout the years, the more weight I gain the more I sweat, I cannot even wear makeup to work because by the time I get there, it's all off and on my napkins. And I definitly won't miss the guilty feeling after stuffing my face. I would eat and eat and once I realize it's all gone, i'll feel horrible knowing I ate it all. Hate that feeling.

I'm not sleeved yet a Clp more months to go, but when I am my list has everything I have seen here. Some really huge ones for me is, 1.Crying in the dressing room when I can't fit into clothes that would look fabulous on me!!! 2.Not going to Theme Parks with my family and friends because I know I won't fit into any of the rides (That's so humiliating) 3.I won't miss feeling like my boyfriend's eyes are on every women with a better shape then me when we go places! 4.Not being able to dance the way I really wont to, because I have a huge passion for it and so does my daughter. Just can't wait to be truly free mind, body, and soul!

I heard this tonight from someone and I thought that I would share it. What I definitely won't miss is a woman telling me that I "would be such a good looking man if I just lost some weight". Well tonight it really rubbed me the wrong way.....and I said, " ya know, I'm handsome now and in 6 months I WILL BE SKINNY and in shape and you will still be a b***h!!!"

Ha ha...Yassss that's what I'm talking about!!!!

I do not and will not miss my shelf that the top of my bum had. This is something that my hubby loved to rub and grab but I absolutely hated it. I am glad its gone. It's like someone shaved it off.

I will not miss that fat lump on my neck.

I will not miss the odor. I feel comfortable being around people now.

I will not miss my fat head or face.

I just told my friend my goal is to put on a pair of boots and zip them up over my skinny calves!!

Never even tried to buy or try them on. I knew it would not work. I can't wait to get a pair.

Wow there's so many things I won't miss about being fat like turning down invitations to go places because I'm too embarrassed, telling my son that we can't go zip lining , or horseback riding , or go on amusement rides or bike rides Or waterslides together because I'm over the weight limit. I won't miss hurting every day, trying to figure out something to wear that hides my body, sweating all the time, not being able to cross my legs or tie my shoes or find any shoes that fit for that matter let alone boots. Won't miss being hungry all the time. Won't miss looking at my fat face or worrying if I'm gonna break a chair or fit in a booth worrying about a stroke or becoming diabetic. Won't miss NOT being able to walk or run or stand up at church or shop in regular stores. I won't miss turning away from old friends and being ashamed to see people from my past. I won't miss being depressed and unhappy I won't miss being alone! I made a list of reasons why I want to live it's amazing when you put it in writing what we each deal with every day!

I won't miss going into the big stall because he's not in the room and the others, I won't miss the skin tags I get everywhere, I won't miss not being able to wear skirts because I get a rash between my legs, or the leg pimples I heard mentioned earlier post, I won't miss bending over and hearing the wire under my bra snap in half, won't miss my underwear rolling down my fat roll.... Damn there's a lot I won't miss!

As I am about to get ready for work, another thing I will not miss is having to wear so many things under my scrubs. Everyday I have to wear a girdle and Spanx underneath my uniform because scrubs are so light of a material, every lump and bump shows. It's bad enough I am hot already, but with the added materials and the fact that I try to keep a sweater on to hide my arms, it's just too much. I can't wait to be able to wear just a bra and panty with my clothes and not all these extra items.

I have to be honest, I didn't work hard at all to get rid of that. One of the first things to go down was my bum and that shelf, lol. Hopefully you will be the same.

Where are you from Sleeve Sistah?

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 am not going to miss the raw area under my bra

I've always wanted to take a pole dancing class. Hopefully once I'm smaller that will be something that I would like to try.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
