Worrying about what everyone thinks about my weight!

Also, not having to worry if my clothes will fit! :)

YES!!

The clothes!!!! I tried on something recently in a standard size clothing store and almost cried in the dressing room.

Congrats! Isn't that a great feeling? It's like hitting the jackpot. As you get healthier and shrunk more it only gets better! I can actually go to Anne Taylor Loft and Express and walk out with bags of clothes instead of bags of depression! ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Oh.. And people scrutinizing your food choices. ????

Now the question is "Is that all you're eating?"

That too! Now it's "you eat like a bird!" Lol

I won't miss overpaying for plus size clothes and being able to find great deals!! Clearance racks here I come!

... Oh yeah, I never want to wear Spanx ever again!! Always being hot in those suckers.

And those plus size clothes we get charged so much for are usually soooo ugly! They are either incredibly childish, with kittens, puppies and cartoon characters, or they look like something that your granny would deem too old fashioned to wear!

I am convinced that while the industry knows plus size is a money making proposition, they are still very predjudiced against larger sized women and it comes out in the choices given to those who need plus sized clothing. I can't believe how much better clothes fit me now. I'm not just talking about the fact that I'm smaller, but just in general.

I used to shop alot at Avenue. I thought they had the best selection in bigger sizes. But there's this presumption that a larger girl is also taller. Everything is proportioned to a woman nearer to six feet tall than five feet tall. I used to have so much material cut off from pants and sleeves just to wear the clothes. Alot of the tops never fit correctly as they all hung down to my knees. Don't the designers realize there are alot of short, fat women out there. Petite should come in all women's sizes and not just for thinner folks. And yes...flowers and animals are not acceptable after the age of five.

I won't miss having to wear spandex shorts under dresses so I don't get skin rash due to my thighs rubbing together!!

Sorry to be graphic but also won't miss my thighs "eating" my shorts making them wrinkle and hike up my legs until they are in a bunch.

Won't miss being afraid that I can't catch up to my 3 year old when he runs off.

Won't miss feeling so winded when I climb 2 flights of stairs.

Won't miss my more fit coworkers walking slowly because I can't walk briskly at their pace.

Won't miss feeling guilty after over eating at every meal.

Won't miss feeling sluggish and failing at every diet just to go back to the same old.

Won't miss getting so sweaty so easily.

Won't miss being too tired all the time for sex (lol). When I was lighter it was easier quite frankly.

Won't miss my thighs taking up some of my neighbors space when flying on an airplane. Or the pain of forcing the arm rests down, squishing my hips.

Won't miss mild sleep apnea.

Wow that's a lot isn't it? I'm debating having the surgery but this is starting to convince me!

I look forward to being able to go on rides and Water slides with my kids. It's the worse having to get off a ride because you don't fit.

I can so relate!! Also I tried to sign up for Horsebackriding and they said sorry you're over the weight limit because it could make the horse lame. Embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!! I won't miss that!!!

sleeping on five pillows so I could breathe. Not being able to lay on my back.

Yoga moves to wipe my butt. Not being able to shave my bikini line. Or cut my toe nails. Or put my shoes on.

Having to sit down to put on my underwear. Having to pee all the time.

The grocery bill. The restaurant bill. Eating alone out of embarrassment.

Using the largest bathroom stall and dressing room. The size of my underwear. Not being able to find my bra size. Plus size stores!!!!!!

The ugly shoes I had to wear, the ugly clothes. My hair always being greasy from the crap I ate.

The black stretch pants. Thigh rash.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
