Recommended Posts

I want to go to macy's try on beautiful clothes, wear a two piece suit again, feel comfortable and sassy in my body, visit my brother in Hawaii, Run, play soccer with my nieces, Go to a Water park and not worry if I will fit on the rides. Retake some wedding photos, with my original dress, taken in! Take a zumba class, yoga class and pilates water class without all the "judgy" looks...................

I want to go jogging with my very athletic 13 year old daughter, I want to go to amusement parks and actually enjoy myself and I want to go shopping and buy the designer clothes I like.

I want to wear a flattering swimsuit on the beach. I want to run a half marathon. I want to wear beautiful dresses without worrying that my Spanx are showing. I want to cross my legs effortlessly. I need to make a list of hundred things I want to do when I get to my goal weight!

I want to go zip lining in the Smokey Mountains. And hike in Big Bend or the Grand Canyon and be able to keep up with my hubby and daughter. And I want to ride a horse without feeling sorry because it has to carry so much weight. And I never want to shop at Lane Bryant again.

agreed never again lane bryant!!

For the past 6 years I've been practicing Yoga 6 days a week. Despite all that time there are way too many poses that I just can't do properly. I'm sick of modifying them because my stomach is in the way. I'm going to do the whole program exactly as it's taught. No more modifications or getting my elbow just half way over my knee. My Yoga will be perfect for the first time in my life.

That will be an AWESOME accomplishment! So happy that you are going to be able to do all that!

I WILL be a runner! I have always wanted to do the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on 4th of July morning and Next Year I WILL DO IT!

--ankles! the bone should protrude.

--being able to shave bikini area without guessing

--enjoying a short skirt...one thats not attached to a bathing suit

--thighs that don't rub together like a damn cricket and pants that don't wear out there first due to friction.

--being able to buy stretch jeans because it makes them comfy--not out of pure necessity otherwise you have to admit you are larger

LMAO about the pants wearing out bc of friction! That is the funniest thing i've ever heard!!! My last ones wore out in the knees! hmmm

I think I'll enjoy wearing a bikini for the first time since I was 7? And wearing sexy clothes!!

And I know this is a bit personal but I can't wait to try new positions in the bedroom with my husband. We usually stick to 2 positions because I get outta breath doing anything different.

Add that to my list....the new positons one...I totally know what you're talking about....

I am looking forward to not feeling like the seatbelt may decapitate me after coming to a fast stop! Or if you have to bend down to pick something up off the floor in the car and the seatbelt starts reeling you back in like some sort of deepsea fish!!!

Oh and no more granny panties! Sorry "just my size", it doesn't matter how you try to spin it - assorted fashion colors are not attractive for full-coverage briefs!!!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
