The Top 5 Things You Will Not Miss After Vsg



Recommended Posts

I do not miss shopping in the women's dept

I do not miss shopping because I HAD to have something, not because it is fun just to try on different things

I do not miss being uncomfortable in an airplane seat and being scared I'd need an extender. I never did, but the fear!

I don't miss hiding behind others when pictures are being taken

I don't miss being or at least feeling like the largest 'girl in the room'

there are more....but these came to mind right away!

And the deepest darkest nastiest truth; not being able to wipe properly after going to the toilet. Or being able to wash properly.

This has be one on of my least favorite things. I hope to never have this problem again!

*I will not miss feeling as happy and sexy as everyone else in the room, until I see the photos and see how huge and repulsive I look. I feel foolish for thinking I could even remotely look good.

*I will not miss deliberately looking away from attractive men so I don't see the look of disgust on their faces.

*I will not miss wearing the same clothes over and over until they are barely shreds because shopping for something that fits and looks ok is emotionally exhausting.

*I will not miss being out of breath when sitting down for a meal in a restaurant. Especially if the seats are low back and I have to sit forward, squashing my stomach making it hard to breathe.

*I will not miss being absolutely petrified of chairs, booths or anything that has to support my weight. Being stuck trying to leave a restaurant because there is no path through all the chairs that I can squeeze through.

*I will not miss getting along with a guy really well and having heaps in common, laughing and having a good time and then for them to say how much tey like me, but can't get past the weight issue.

I think I've already chimed in but thought of a few other:

  • I won't miss knee socks that end up being mid calf because my legs are so fat
  • Bicycle tires that look flat when they are already pumped up to max pressure
  • Wheezing and getting out of breath by getting up to go to the bathroom
  • And I really DON'T miss going to buffet restaurants, I THOUGHT I would becasue they were my favorite but I DON'T.
  • Nearly passing out from bending down to tie my shoes

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
