What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I won't miss sticking a needle in my stomach and injecting something that could possibly cause cancer into my body!!! Bruises are a normal thing to my stomach and my fingers can get feeling back into them after poking needles into them several times a day!!!!

to fit in a towel after a bath. I have to use beach towels, and they barely wrap around me all the way.

to not have back pain and knee pain... i am 26 and i used to not have this.

to shop at a normal store. I love fashion.... I want to be able to shop everywhere, not just one place.

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.

yay for me no more 5x scrubs.

I will NOT miss feeling awkward in social situations because I'm the biggest person there.

I will NOT miss not being able to shop with my friends because they don't sell plus sized clothes in the stores they like.

I will NOT miss worrying about when the inevitable diabetes will kick in.

I will NOT miss the dread I always have before I have to get on a scale at the doctor's office.

I will NOT miss wearing bigger clothes than and weighing 100 pounds more than my husband.

I will NOT miss feeling like I'm being judged while eating because I'm fat.

I could go on and on...

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.

Are you serious? That lump on my neck will go away???????!!!! I'm all in now!

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.

Everybody has established a lot of things that I will not miss.

•My car is low so I will not miss sliding out like snake to get out.

•The pain I endure going food shopping cause my knees are shot.

•Will not missed carrying the laundry to the basement like a 90 year old!

•Will not miss spending more $ on plus sized clothes only because it has more material like Lands End and LLBean

This can go on but I do miss my baths. Bending of knees and trying to get out had made impossible !!

I won't miss:

lying about my weight on my driver's license, carpooling in a two-door vehicle and stressing whether I'm going to get stuck getting into and out of the back seat, being on an elevator full of people and hoping that it doesn't lurch because I know they'll automatically think its because of me, fearing fire drills at work because it requires walking down four flights of stairs and then walking another two blocks to the meeting place, checking the window before I leave work everyday to see if the path is clear to the parking garage so no one will see my face turning red and my gasps for breath.

What I want to do:

Take a spinning class, get down on my hands and knees without worrying whether I can get up again, get up to go to the bathroom in a crowded movie theater without worrying that my butt is hitting everyone in the face as I squeeze by, feel confident that I have a better average chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse because I can actually run now! :-)

Always having tons of clothes (because they span 6 sizes), as my weight has been more volatile than the emerging markets index...and nothing to wear, because now my "fat" clothes are getting too tight!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
