Things I'm looking forward to!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I finally have a date for my sleeve op, 9th September! Woohooo!

The time can't go quick enough, so I've been hanging in there by thinking of the things I'm looking forward to post-op.

  • Not having sore thighs from them rubbing together!
  • Finding some jeans that fit me
  • Not eating the same amount as all the men in my family and still being hungry!
  • Being able to wear all my gorgeous high heels without feeling like a transvestite!
  • Not sweating like a fat old man when I'm exercising!
  • Seeing my ex, and knowing that I look great!

What are yours? :thumbup:

Hey Guys,

I finally have a date for my sleeve op, 9th September! Woohooo!

The time can't go quick enough, so I've been hanging in there by thinking of the things I'm looking forward to post-op.

Haha, good timing! I was thinking of posting the same type of thread closer to my surgery date.

  • Not having sore thighs from them rubbing together!

YES, YES, YES! Even when I weighed as little as 145 lbs, I couldn't wear a skirt or short shorts if I had to walk more than a mile. So annoying! And I hate replacing my pants every 4-6 months because they rip!

  • Being able to wear all my gorgeous high heels without feeling like a transvestite!

I'm gonna change that to "Being able to wear all my high heels for hours on end without my feet absolutely killing me!" When I was 50 lbs lighter, I could dance like a maniac in high heels all night - now I'm hurtin' after half an hour!

What are yours? :thumbup1:

  • Getting back into dance, specifically ballet and starting modern dance....which undoubtedly will be much easier once I drop a few pounds and my feet don't get slaughtered when I jump. I'm hoping this will be the first year that I actually feel up to performing at the annual dance company recital. Here's to my recovery being quick, so I can get back to the barre by mid-September!
  • Shaving off a couple of minutes from my 5K and 10K times
  • Getting visible abs again...maybe this time I can finally get a 6-pack, and not just a 4-pack
  • Saving like $300/month on food and putting it towards vacations....hellz yeah!
  • My knee pain/discomfort getting better...I don't think it will ever go away (chronic inflammation), but it's definitely worse now that I'm 210 lbs than when I was 165!
  • Getting down to a more reasonable bra size (currently 38F) so I can wear cuter bras...haha

I think of new things all the time. I haven't set my date yet but I feel like I'm getting close to having the money.

Being about to soak in a bathtub, fully covered, without Water spilling out.

Wearing cute cheap clothes

Being flirtted with by men again

My stomach not sitting on my lap

Having a slim face so I can get any hair cut I want

Wearing shorts in the summer and shorter skirts

Fitting into booths comfortably

Eating a small amount of food and feeling full

Did I mention cheap clothing?

Having more energy

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
