So we all talked about how great it is being skinnier and healthier, or at least being on the way to a healthier life. We all know the benefits and at the end of the day we just want to be healthy.
I am very happy I decided to get the RNY. I am losing steadily and I enjoy the journey, I cherish every pound I lose, and I would do it all over again in a New York Minute!
However, and I know it will sound strange, sometimes I miss my fat... and a few things that came with it.
1. Food. I miss food. Yes, I know it was what broke me, and I am better off now, but I still miss eating large quantities. I miss big bowls of pastas and pizzas and rice, and I miss how I used to spend my time with my food. How sad is that...
2. I miss the qushion. Yes, I hate my hip bone when I am trying to sleep on my side. I hate my knees pressing together when I am trying to sleep on my side. (You probably know by now, I am a side sleeper ) I hate how I wear belts in my low rise jeans and they hurt my hip bone, and its sore for days...I hate how I can not sit on a hard surface for more than an hour or I feel like my back will break...
3. I miss being invisible. Yes, now hear me out. We all think we stand out because of our size, and yes we do, but nobody wants to look at as when we are fat. People would just look through us, like we are not even there. It's kind of comforting. Now that I lost over 70 pounds turns out there was this fine lady under all the fat, and I am getting male attention BIG TIME. It bothers me. I feel like saying "what the hell are you looking at???" But I know they are all up in my goodies, so no point to ask Sometimes I feel like I wanna hide...

4. I miss my tight body. Yes, it was a fat body, but I was not soft and saggy, I was firm and I used to have beautiful skin. Now I am wrinkly and it is about to get even worst as I still have 50lbs to lose

Do you miss anything about your fatness? Or am I alone and truly crazy???

Lol only one hing im scared of loosing are my boobs. I LOVE THEM!!!!

Thing

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.

That's a good thing. I'm happy for you.

@@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 still go out I just order less and take the rest home.

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... :/
