What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?

  • Popular Post

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 will not miss fat squishing noises during sex, and I will be excited for awesome, can do whatever sex!! I'm sure my boyfriend would be happy too! ????

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!
