The things I miss about being fat!



Recommended Posts

@@green*eyed*girl I totally agree, I feel like when I was 100 lbs heavier I was much stronger and I could do a whole lot more lifting than I can now. but that also comes with weight training, you can get that back you have to work out with the free weights and use those muscles. It's going to be hard at first, but you will get it, and soon you will be just as strong as before if not stronger cause the weight you lost will help you move better and lift more. I am not saying lift to become some super steroid body builder but you need those muscles to keep your body strong, so use what you got and strengthen as much as you can!!! Good luck!!!

I am still getting used to this new body of mine. But I can tell you I don't miss a damn thing. Not one damn thing.

@@Susan33, I wish I could say you won't loose your boobs, but it all depends on the person? How people loose weight. I know in my past I had never lost weight in my boobs before and so when I had my surgery I was hoping the same thing, and I lost my boobs, like I really didn't have big ones to start with, but I feel like I have none now? So just know boobs can be replaced if you really want, but losing the weight is so much better? lol, I am so happy that I have now lost 100 lbs and I am almost to my goal weight and I am so happy to be here. I wouldn't change anything about my journey, but I would change somethings about my body now that I have lost all this weight and that is something that can be dealt with when I get to my goal weight!!! Good luck!!!

Pup thanks for your reply. Me myself have always had big boobs. Even when I was skinnier. But I would rather be skinny with no boobs then fat with them. It's all about my health.

I'm happy for the way it's working out for you.I just got back from my dr appt. Kinda have great news. Surgeon said results from the upper surgery thing I got done a few days ago came back normal. I guess insurance has changed on what I needed to do for approval of gb. He said now they are gonna fax all the info to insurance company and wait for approval. Said it can take up to a week and when it is approved the date will be set for the start of a new enjoyable life. I'm so excited.

I hope your weight loss continues going good for you. Keep us all posted

@@green*eyed*girl I know EXACTLY how you feel! I constantly get comments at work about my weight loss transformation. It's like now the men suddenly know you exisist when before they keep their eyes averted like being fat was contagious! I swear I daydream of chocolate and Pasta daily! I guess the only difference with me is that I have always been a stomach sleeper, so it's actually more comfortable for me now. Especially with my tempurpedic bed!

The skin issues REALLY suck! I am researching plastic surgeons and procedures now!

I am 3 weeks out and I am SO happy to have had WLS but everyday is a true challenge. I for sure miss the big bowls of Pasta and Asian food. But I also miss having a normal conversation where my weight loss, changes or surgery weren't ALWAYS the subject.

I think the only thing I miss at nearly 4 months out is dinner with my husband, a stay home dinner date with Chinese food and a movie... or going to a restaurant and splitting an appetizer and having an alcoholic beverage after a long week.... but for the weight loss? I'll get through it LOL

I don't miss a lot about being 80 pounds heavier. I do miss having a wrinkle free neck. I can still sleep on my side, in fact I like to sprawl, so I do that even better.

I feel completely the same. :( And my butt bones hurt after sitting a while.

I miss the Club Lulu from Jimmy John's on wheat once or twice a week too. :'(

Oh @@Wendyfm I know what you mean, I do not miss the pounds from my bones and joints, I move faster and easier now, life is good again! :) But all these changes are hard sometimes, things happened so fast, one day I am fat, 5-6 months later brand new body, wow, lot to digest.

And the neck, oh Lord, that is a problem, big time. I am not planning to have any plastic surgery. I am saggy here and there but nothing major, I can deal with a bit of lose skin. But my neck is horrid. I was hiding behind scarfs all winter long but summer is coming and I am horrified. My neck is the only area that I might will consider to get some extra help... not neck lift (is there such thing even???) but some toning I guess... :/

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
