You know what I'm NOT going to miss?!



Recommended Posts

I am also freezing. Heater is on , jumper is on but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Being cold affects your marriage - my husband won't let me near him because my feet and hands are always so cold.LOL. Sometimes even my bum is cold and I promise I am not running around the house naked!

TOTALLY agree. I absolutely abhor the heat and my body is much better regulated, these days. I also like the fact that I feel comfortable wearing shorts, now, when those days get warm! Somebody mentioned the chafing between the thighs - anybody else have to keep buying new pants cause they'd keep getting holes worn in that spot where the thighs rub? SO embarrassing. I am so glad those days are behind me.

I was never one who sweated all the time, but I sure wasn't the one complaining about being cold all the time. It was always a joke that if I said I was cold, HELL had indeed frozen over! I did, however, notice that as I got fatter (and older) I couldn't tolerate extremely hot or bitterly cold temperatures. Now that I've lost 80+ pounds, the heat doesn't bother me nearly as much. Nor do I get winded after only 10-15 minutes of chores.

Other things that I'm not going to miss...

1) swollen fingers/ankles/feet

2) a FAT face

3) doing the 7 basic ballet movements to shave my legs

4) not being able to "complete my paperwork" in the bathroom

5) feeling guilty about every bite I put in my mouth

6) having poor balance

7) always having to pick out the largest size and hoping it fits

8) my 2nd ( and 3rd) chin

9) having "swamp a$$"

10) huffing/puffing just to bend over to pick up something off the floor

I was always freezing for awhile after my surgery (I had lost 18 pounds on the preop diet) and I couldn't believe it. I had to almost close the air vent near me to tolerate the air being on. It's gotten ok recently but after I lose more weight it looks like I'll have to bundle up like a bear from the sounds of it. :smilielol5:

I wanted to ask, did anyone here have some minor back pain that disappeared when they lost weight? I have some and I hope that it goes away along with the always being warm.:thumbup:

Holes on my thighs was so me!!! I used to buy new pants everytime I went into a store because I new I would need them. I still catch myself doing this from time to time.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
