I'm curious ... what will you miss most about being FAT????? I mean, sometimes is does have it's advantages, doesn't it? :confused2:

I think I'm going to miss the natural shelf I have where I can set my plate when I'm eating in my Lazyboy (since I have small breasts and big belly it works out pretty nice). I suppose when my belly gets smaller I'll just have to find my lap somewhere.

I'll also miss those nice folds of flab that make convenient hand warming places.:angry:

What will you miss most?

Nothing! I will even be happy about only being an A. I'd rather be thin and have no chest than to be how I am now.

What will I miss??? I will miss having a smooth wrinkle free face. I am turning 40 this year and I look much younger (The photo on my profile is a current one) and I think it is due to having a chubby face...the fat fills the wrinkles. I know when I start losing weight I will quickly have wrinkles come out of no where!

Thank goodness I am a full believer that we should grow older gracefully, I just do not want to look old so I am swear by plastic surgery :thumbup:

There's a couple of things I miss.

I miss the fat on my knees. I cant lie on my side in bed anymore, becuase my knees resting on top of one another hurts. Just out of interest, there's been photos galore of Victoria Beckham here, with a weird dent in her inside thigh just above the knee in several of those Which Celebs have had Plastic Surgery articles in the tabloids. Apparently that's a dead giveaway for thigh liposuction. If so, how come I have it too? I've never been lipo-sucked.

I miss the fat on my chest too. Its absolutely GROSS when I like on my back in bed. Its all ribs, and a huge dent at the solar plexus and you can see my heart beating. It's completely gross. Of course that's because my boobs are lying under my arms when I lie that way.

I want some more fat on my hip bones too. Everytime I go to the physio and get my lower back worked on, it kills because my hip bones arent cushioned and I'm black and blue the next day.

And my face. I hear you Dawn. I really do look 40 now. A good 40 since I've always taken care of my skin in the sun, not abused in in tanning beds and looked after it. But I didnt look 38 2 years ago. Losing the fat on your face is a bit of a shame.

NO clue but I can not wait to find out..

By the way JACQUI, I sleep with a pillow between my knees...have since childhood...I must have had knobby knees then! I also use a pillow between my feet...can't stand them touching!

Truth be told, I have a pillow by my stomach sorta under the girls (boobs) and them one on the small of my back....and under my head and....OK so I am a pillow freak! Good thing my DH doesn't mind cause I am NOT a snuggler! Except my poodle thinks I am! LOL

Jacqui, you don't look a day over 35 and even then you could pass for younger.

There are times I miss the simplicity of shopping for clothing. There were two stores, with only a few styles I would wear and in fewer colors I'd put on. So it was easy. (BUT not FUN).

Now I'm forever trying things on and I can't decide X or Y or Z or A...it gets a little frutstrating. But it can be fun trying if I'm not in a hurry.

Oh, I can TOTALLY relate to that one! I would love my boobs to stay where they belong. They behaved much better before I lost weight.

Not mine. They are already long and droopy. Losing weight will just make them flatter but they'll still be long and droopy.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
