When you can sit "Indian style" in your recliner!

When the owners of an all-you-can-eat buffet see you walking towards their restaurant, they don't quickly turn off the lights, close the curtains and flip the sign to "CLOSED" on the front door.

Okay this one's kinda convoluted, but...

When you're acting in a play... And the script calls for your character to change clothes onstage... And amazingly, you're not self-conscious about stripping down to long-johns in public... And then you're supposed to put on pants that are too tight... So you go out and buy a pair of pants in a size you haven't been able to wear for over 40 years.... But you still have to "act" like they're too tight, because they actually fit... And then you realize, OMG, I'm a 32" waist now instead of a 48!!!

Because now the sign says "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS"! :lol:

When you head for the restroom in a crowded restaurant and suddenly realize you don't need to scope out the widest path to fit your body through as you weave between tables to get there! Yippee!

When you jump out the car and the pants that used to be snug hit the ground. Then you left in your underwear and you are afraid that that might fall next. lol

When your stomach isn't sitting in your lap.

Also, when you don't get the "souffle top" after buttoning your jeans.

      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.
