I'll be glad when I can........



Recommended Posts

Be able to get on the plane and easily fit into the seat and not be constantly rubbing the person next to me and be able to pull the seat belt over instead of worrying whether or not I will have to ask for an extension.

Leave the big girl stores behind me.

Take my after picture and compare to my before.

Go have all my rings sized down.

Go out to lunch with my sister-in-law who looks amazing and not feel like a frump.

16lbs away from onederland! Yeah!

Many of mine have already been taken, I'll add just a few.

* To have guys actually look at me and not past me.

* To not have to listen to my guy friends make comments on how hot the skinny girls are.

*To be able to enjoy having a picture taken.

*To walk and not have my thighs rub together.

*To believe someone when they tell me I am pretty.

That's it for now... Love this thread too fun!

- have my husband wrap his arms around me and feel like I am the little women instead of the fat mama! LOL

- wear a bathing suit on the boat instead of staying fully dressed...

- have more energy because I am not carring around 100 extra pounds.

- see an old friend I haven't seen in years and know that they aren't thinking geez she really has put some weight on!

- ride my scooter and be able to pick up some speed because it isn't getting bogged down due to my weight

- hike without huffing and puffing

- feel comfortable on the back of my husbands motorcycle.

_ Keep up with my boyfriend and my kids on a day outing

_ Get in the pool or jacuzzi without worrying who's around in our complex

_ Go shopping at regular stores and buy things I like instead of what fits.

_ Put on my red high heel pumps without my back hurting from the extra weight.

- Let my photographer boyfriend take some amazing pics of me

_ Go shopping with my girlfriends, trying on clothes, instead of alone since I'm ashamed of my size.

_ Go dancing at a regular dance club instead of a BBW club where the bigger is better and I am being hounded by chubby chasers who think of me as a "fetish"

1. Walk past small children without fear they'll point to me and say to their mothers "She's fat" or something similar.

2. Not worry when I see the entrance requires going thru a turnstile.

3. look at myself in a group picture where I don't overwhelm everyone else by size.

4. feel that I'm not taking up so much room in any situation.

5. attach the seatbelts in any car.

6. attend a dressier event, not feel that I'm over-dressed.

7. look at my feet and they're not puffy.

8. fit in any chair without it killing my hips because its so tight.

9. go to the doctor, get an xray, or anywhere I have to lay down on a table, without struggling to get up by myself.

10. spring out of bed.

11. easily get up off the floor.

12. Easily get myself up and out of a cushy couch.

13. Enter a class or meeting room without first quickly scanning the room for the widest chair or the one without arms, and if nothing will work, quickly decide how to handle this with a minimum of embarrassment.

That's all for now, getting late.

      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?
