What Do You Find Most Freeing About WLS?

Traveling is so much easier. Don't ooze into airplane seats, hotel beds don't hurt when you weigh what a normal adult weighs. But most importantly is my GF. We really would not have met if I was my old size and she has freed me from many things in the year that we have dated. Most emotionally stable person I have ever known.

That food does not have much priority in my life. The first few years I had to work harder on food....

I still have to be prepared and conscious..... But I can be hungry for awhile at appropriate times... What a freeing feeling

Just living life, for years, at a "normal" size is so wonderful.

I am thankful.

After years of failure, I never have to worry about dieting again...I simply live a new lifestyle where food, hunger and cravings are no longer an issue.

first thing that comes to mind is that I do not have to choose 1 activity on my days off -

in otherwords, if I go hiking I will not be able to get my chores done - or if I work in the garden I can not go hiking due to fatigue, body pain, etc.

now it is no problem to do multiple things a day - or to do household chores when I return home freeing up more weekend time for leisure activities.

secondly the fact that I do not have to worry if I eat this or eat that (Fruit is the main choice in this category) will my blood sugar go high - what will my A1c be - is my Metformin controlling it? is it worth taking the Metformin (side effects) - no worries because I am no longer considered a diabetic, no longer on any prescription medications. this is also a huge, freeing truth.

I know about those Metformin side effects...even the extended release ones. I am looking forward to that day when I don't have to worry about the side-effects. Also, the lack of general fatigue sounds wonderful, as well!
