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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
