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!

TMI Alert!!!! Not being able to wash my butt crack in the shower without doing some serious yoga and kung fu like manuevers!

Ah man,that is too funny. I am totally laughing with you and not at you.

Lol! Tip: Removable shower head.

I will not miss the judgment from others. The 6 pills I take a day to keep my blood pressure down not get diabetes. I can't wait to wear high heals run and play with my children for hours at the park. I want to feel as beautiful as my boyfriend thinks I am. I want to run naked on my wedding night and not be ashamed!

Now that I'm 3.5 months out - I'll tell you what I don't miss the most. Of course i don't miss shopping in the plus size or taking the elevator instead of the stairs, or squeezing into a theater seat -- but the most significant difference is that I don't have the constant underlying worry about my weight. I know I've got it this time. I know what I have to do. I have a medical team that supports me. I have NO DOUBT. It is a very, very liberating feeling and I hope that all of you who are pre-op will experience it too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm right behind you at 3 months out. I stopped worrying about if I'm going to make a chair break due to my weight. I shop at regular size stores. I am wearing prettier clothes and makeup again. (These make me feel good.) There have been tremendous sacrifices and life has changed on this adventure. A lot of work would be an understatement. I am constantly aware of what I'm eating to ensure adequate nutrition. I can run after my daughter when we play chase now. Next year, I will go back to scuba diving.

I've not had a boyfriend in....since I was....ummm....12 years old. I'm 32 ???? so I look forward to an actual dating life! I look forward to enjoying shopping again. I look forward to wearing my stilettos again!!! Oh how I miss performing and singing in church in my stilettos!!! People are starting to look at me crazy because I don't wear them anymore. Smh!

Went to the movies last night and It was a packed house 3 hr movie that was awesome but I hurt on both sides I had no place for my arms and felt like I was crowding my boyfriend and daughter look over and a woman my age was curling up both feet in her chair. I almost cried!!!! That is what I will never miss that horrible feeling when I really see exactly how big I let myself get.

My 2nd chin...????

Back fat!!!

Back fat!!!

I def will not miss being out of breath doing the simplest of task!

Yes back fat! I never had a problem dating lots of men like big woman but I can't wait to feel good naked o hate feeling ashamed.
