I won't miss my 4 year old granddaughter asking me loudly in a crowded checkout line if I have a baby in my belly! Also I won't miss anymore high school reunions because I am embarrassed about my weight.

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.

I also can't wait to have less pain from both the weight and Fibromyalgia!

I pray that after surgery, I will still have a round booty! That my behind will look nicely! Lord, please let me look like Beyoncé in my clothes!

Be around my "cute" friends and not feel awful about myself.

Hahaha, my cute friends make me feel cuter! Obviously this is flawed logic but I don't even care.

To spin this, I'm going to talk about stuff I'm looking forward to:

- Halloween costume shopping

- stocking up on CHEAP clothes (plus sizes are so expensive!)

- going to NYC to see shows again (I haven't been in so long!)

- taking a vacation (I don't even pretend I could afford a 2nd airplane ticket) to Nova Scotia, Iceland, Russia, Istanbul, Ireland, or anywhere!

- adorable outerwear (especially cable knit stuff or stuff with unusual/asymmetrical cuts)

- beating my high score on Thriller (Michael Jackson Wii game)

- riding my bike again (knees hurt too much right now!)

- sleeping through the entire night without waking up even once

- keeping up with nephews/friends kids/maybe my own some day

- a million things I probably haven't thought of. :)

I won't miss not being able to sit in a booth at a restaurant unless the table moves. Definitely won't miss the sweating in places I should not, and not being able to play with my kids because I get so tired so quickly due to my heaviness.

I won't miss being the "Fat Mom" at my kids' school

I won't miss the resentment I've grown to have for myself

I, too, won't miss the extra pain on my knees, back...everything

I CANNOT WAIT to find the perfect cocktail dress and have my husband be proud to take me out on the town

What is it with boots? I wanna be able to wear those, too!

I want to be able to take my kids to the pool during the summer and not hide under towels or a coverup

So much more...

I will not miss my bikini cut under wear rolling down! Ugh hate that sooo much! I will not miss feeling hung over the next morning from overeating or binging on sweets the night before! I will not miss feeling frustrated when nothing looks right on my body & I have to go be social while feeling sick of being in my own skin. I will not miss not wanting to be close to my bf because I feel gross. I will not miss feeling hot & sweaty because I skipped a shower & had a hot cup of coffee! Lol most of all I will not miss feeling ugly when out with my bf & there are thin beautiful woman around that I know my bf would be attracted to. Amen!

I won't miss upper body fat bulging out every time i sit.

I won't miss clothes fitting somewhat ok standing, uncomfortable when sitting.

My surgery is scheduled for December 2nd, my pre op appt is tomorrow. So the count down begins.

I am lucky to have a coworker having same surgery on the same day.

I think nearly everything that's already been mentioned I won't miss.

The looks from strangers, worrying about fitting into chairs, bumping into things, sweating and shortness of breath, being extremly limited in clothing choice, the list is endless!

The list of things I'm looking forward to is just as long I think, I have always wanted to skydive, even something as simple as going shopping with my mum and sister and being able to try things in "normal" clothing shops, going out dancing with my friends in a gorgeous dress and not feeling self conscience and judged. The number one thing I am looking forward to the most is being able to live a long and healthy life.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
