Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I can't wait to.....



Recommended Posts

Sadly, I cannot wait for the judged looks I get from people to stop. I went into GNC the other day, and the sales associate flat out said: "You aren't like any of our normal customers. Are you getting weight loss surgery done soon?". I know I shouldn't be embarrassed, since I am going through the process, but it's kind of unsettling/embarrassing when there is a store full of people.

That's absolutely revolting that they thought they had the right to say that to you, what give them the right to belittle you like that. :hugs:

I live in Hawaii, and there are people who are very large individuals. So it surprises me that there is still the judged looks or fat shaming.

My mom was at the GNC with me and she said she thought it was more of a "Oh, you're in here because you're making a change"... Rather than an insult. I think it's more that I am used to or rather expect the negativity

I got another though: I can't wait to actually LIVE in Hawaii - hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.)

I can't wait until I am not in pain. I have RA and Fibromyalgia and my entire body feels like it's in a FLARE all the time. I can't wait to play with my 4yr and 11 mo old boys in the floor longer than 10-15 minutes without being in excruciating pain. I can't wait to enjoy hiking and biking trails with my husband. I can't wait to be HEALTHY! I can't wait to look how I see myself through my eyes. I look forward to MY JOURNEY of loving myself!

Of course, I am looking forward to better health, less pain, longer life, etc, but it's the clothes and shoes and swimsuits that have me excited!

To be able to have the stamina to jump my horse again! Not get out of breath (thinking I'm having a heart attack!) and blotchy faced one time around the arena....And fit in my beautiful riding boots, not the ugly elastic plus sized ones I use now. ...And look cute in my riding breeches!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
