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!

Leggings and boots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going on a 2 week vacation to Disney/Universal/Cruise to Bahamas for my 25th anniversary in April. I cant wait to buy new clothes for that trip!

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

      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?

      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! 😞
