Things I Won"t Miss After My Surgery!



Recommended Posts

So I thought it would be fun to start a topic on the things we will NOT miss after our surgeries!

I think we should write one or two, or three things we hate about being "big" "fluffy" etc...

I'll start...

i won't miss people call me "big guy"

i wont miss children staring at me and saying "Daddy he's fat"

i wont miss shopping at Casual Male XL and spending $65 on a shirt!!!!

How about you...what will you not miss!

I am looking forward to crossing my legs without having to pull them over.

I am looking forward to being "comfortable".

I won't have to worry about my clothes being too tight.

Once I loss this weight, I can wish and dream for something else...

I wont miss not being able to wear 75% of the clothes in my closet. I won't miss people asking me when my baby is due.... I won't miss being hot all the time. I won't miss wishing I looked good in this or that while shopping. I won't miss my legs, feet and back hurting all the time...

I don't miss:

my upper thighs chafing

shopping in the plus section with those ugly prints and polyesters

needing a riding block to get on my horse

aching knees

taking a deep breath before leaning down to tie my shoes

I won't miss having to put my stomach on the counter to get the pressure/pain off my off back.

Won't miss my knees, feet and back hurting.

Not taking pictures because I am not happy with how I look in them.

Won't miss having to wear clothes to hide my shape & rolls that aren't flattering.

But, most importantly, I won't miss having health issues due to my weight like my Dad!

These are all great!

I certifiably won't miss thinking "can that chair handle my weight!" or worse...that chair clearly could not handle my weight!

No more broken chairs.....

I wont miss alot! Not having nothing to wear. Wearing actually jeans and not just sweats all the time. No having to lift my roll up and over the lap bar on rides at an amusement park. People referring to me as the chubby little girl. Being able to find scrubs to fit and not having to get the pick overs because i have to shop in the "big" girls. Being able to see my feet, or even down there for that fact.

I cant wait to look in the mirror and actually like the new me!!

      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.
