Question Of The Day Tuesday

[Lilee84 648]

For those that have been sleeved: Besides your weight, what's the biggest change you've seen in yourself? It can be physical, habitual, emotional... Whatever.

For those waiting to be sleeved: Besides your weight, what change are you most looking forward to?

[amberj 21]

my biggest change is that i play with my kids more now. i can get on the floor and roll around with them and i can go outside and draw with chalk with my 4 year old. i actually enjoy my time with them instead of just wanting to go back inside and eat some chips and candy.< /p>

To one day weigh less than my husband! 5 more days til I meet my sleeve!!!

[andi0120 41]

To love myself more!! Once I started gaining weight I could care less about myself. I treated my body horribly. Newly sleeved 2/29 I'm taking this as a new chance to love me and treat my body as so.

Not perfect but my attitude has changed a great deal. I'm more positive and happy.

[Felicia 28]

I would say that since being sleeved I am overall just more happy. My life isn't that great right now. My fiance and I have a lot of financial problems as well as family issues and numerous other things. I find that with me shedding my extra weight I am able to be more positive about things even when the outlook may look grim.

My health has changed so much. I am off my Diabetes meds along with my blood pressure meds. I have so much more energy and My husband has noticed a change in my attitude. So far I am really enjoying this life...

[Jswilbur 42]

I will be sleeved on March 23rd. There are so many things! I will be a great-grandma any day now, and I have 5 grandchildren, ages 3, 14, 17, 20, and 22. One of my personal goals is to be able to go to Disneyland and not have to sit own every hour, to be able to keep up with my family.

I am hoping to have more energy and no excuses as to why I can't do something.

Like amberj my family is my life. Playing with my kids without becoming exhausted and/or experiencing back pain is a blessing.

[Shoppingbeemom 31]

I like how I've changed making the family meals. I don't want my kids having the same weight problems I had. They now have less starches and more Protein. I don't keep chips or soda in the house and I swapped out fruit and veggie trays for Snacks. Even the Cereal I pick are grain, heart healthy ones. I'm hoping to end the fat cycle with me. Best wishes

My biggest change in myself is my true inner self is being revealed each day!!! I've always been a bubbly, positive person... but it was a little forced.. NOW, I'm just ME!!! One of my friends put this way last night... "You walk into a room and command it... You just are... And people respond!"...

Most of this has to do w/ just the process of choosing to have surgery and realization that I deserve to live my BEST life now... and i must take steps to preserve my life as an act of gratitude.... I'm enjoying my life, now I'm trying to find a balance between my career (that causes me major frustration, but I need the money) and my passion (music and art)...

[RossJL 25]

Omg where do I start lol.. Im 2 weeks out so my journey is just beginning.. I'm looking forewarn to:

No more knee pain

A lot less or no back pain

Much more energy to play with my kids

Energy to do outdoor activities with my hubby

Being able to shop at ANY clothing store

The sense of accomplishment

So so many more but I'll try to keep it short..

I am most excited to be a good role model for my kids!! I want them to learn to make good choices so they don't have weight problems like me!

[WhoozisAnyway 176]

Getting good news from my doctor, instead of more bad news and another medication. Being able to accept a compliment (like "you have pretty eyes") from someone without thinking that it's the only nice thing they could say because I've gotten so fat. Feeling comfortable in my own skin rather than feeling like I'm trapped in a stranger's body. Not being ashamed to have my photo taken. Oh, the list could go on and on.

I've been remodeling a house I bought and I've been up and down a ladder painting, bending to clean and repair things, pulling staples out of the floor and on and on. I would have been so miserable doing that 60 pounds ago. I look forward to Disney World with my daughter this summer as well as the rollar coaster and Water parks here locally. My 11 year old will enjoy me alot more this summer.
