Mine are:

No thigh rash friction burn from walking when I wear a skirt

Not crying in disbelief every time I see a photo of myself

Bumping into my ex and seeing his reaction when I look and feel fantastic

Not avoiding my friends in case they notice I've put on weight

Feeling sexy and not turning my boyfriend's advances away because I'm ashamed of my body

Walking into a room with a smile on my face, and not wanting to hide under a table

Not being so crazy jealous and bitter about anyone who isn't overweight

Besides being healthy of course... I would like to ride my Harley and not feel like a fat slob.

I joke with my daughter, that my number one thing I want to buy is a skinny girl car. lol I probably won't but she is 15 and it makes her so mad, when I talk about me buy a little sports car.

Ok for things I want to do, and buy, that list could get long, but here it goes.

I want to take my daughter to a amusement park,and ride the roller coasters with her.

I want to join our adult soccer, or soft league here in town, as I loved playing when I was teenager.

I'm going to join a tennis league, in a town near by, and maybe even look for a man. lol I'm not sure about the last part of that, I may buy me a yorkie puppy instead. lol

I'm moving back to Florida, and going to the beach every weekend.

I'm going to go get a family portrait done with my daughter, because now I hate getting my picture taken and will not go to a photographer.

Well that is just a few I can think of , but like I said there are many more.

      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.
