Recommended Posts

Ok so we are always talking about our dates, pre-op diets etc etc that I needed a break for just a minute.

So fill in the blank..

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

It can be anything from fitting into your favorite sz 10 jeans to finally getting to ride the roller coaster....comfortably.

Let's share and have fun with this.

So

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

Great thread idea!!! I've got quite a list!

I'll be glad when I can...

  • not worry about weight limits on rides
  • shop in the regular section
  • cross my legs in a lady-like fashion
  • sit in any chair comfortably
  • wear my beautiful rings again (without getting them upsized)
  • tie my shoes comfortably
  • see my collar bones
  • wrap up in a regular sized towel
  • walk up a flight of stairs without being winded
  • see my "cat" without a mirror (I know...TMI):smile:

Can't wait to read y'alls. I'm sure you'll make me think of other things to add to my list!

I think all mine are taken.

...when I hit ONEderland.

...when I don't have to buy plus sizes.

...when I can buy a pretty bra, not a big bra.

...when I can decide what to wear based on what is pretty, not what covers the fat the best.

...when I am FIT instead of FAT.:thumbup:

~ Wear everything in my closet that still has tags on it because I outgrew them before I had a chance

~ Run around the park with my nieces and nephews for more than 5 mins at a time

~ Not be the "fat friend"

~ Actually LIKE the way I look in pictures

~ Go hiking, camping, rafting, etc...(i.e. everything my friends do for fun during summer around here)

...and the list goes on.

Great thread! Thanks for posting!

This is such a great thread!!!

I'll be glad when I can get changed at the gym and not hide in the bathroom stall.

Go to an amusement park with my kids.

Stop checking to see if I am the fattest person in the room.

of course wear CUTE clothes not just what covers me up best.

      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! 😞
