How about going shooping for clothes and falling in love with a piece that they might not have in ur size or that u kno is not in ur size. Or how about running out of air while going up stair 2 or 3 floors. The looks people give u like if u not human or something. Having my relatives always reminding me how fat i am. Ive cryed over that.

I can't wait to actually buy clothes when I go shopping and not end up buying lipstick or a purse 'cause none of the clothes fit me or at least the ones I like according to my age!

I can't wait until I don't have to hide from people because the fear of the looks on their face. I can't wait until stretch material is not my material of choice. I can't wait to stop wearing jackets or sweaters to cover my big arms or the rolls on my back. I'm tired of having a dent on my side of the mattress... I just want to be normal and not make excuses for my size... November can't come quick enough!

Im rite there with u girl. November might b my month too.

I can't wait to be able to stop wearing my scrubs to work (they are optional) just because they are big an loose and elastic waisted!

I can't wait till I feel like people think my husband is lucky! He is thin and handsome!

Can't wait till he can pick me up! And lend me his jacket when I'm cold and don't have one.

Can't wait to wear clothes that reflect more of me.

Sooo many more things

Getting the "big" kayak or the "Budweiser" horse for horseback riding. Wanting to wear junior fashions (dresses). Getting past the "weight prejudice " at work or shame of a frumpy mom for my kids. Cant wait to put a bikini on for the first time in 28 years.

Taking full body pictures, retake belly dance lessons again without being the biggest one in the class, zipline, inner thighs not touching each other, feeling hip bones, returning to original hour glass body shape, start to do things again that I avoided due to my weight. Date again.

It may have been said, but that awkward dosey-doe around and inbetween other chairs and aisles because I might knock people over with my hips and thighs!

gelen's_change,

I don't even have a date yet, but the Doc told me that whenever I finish my Psych Eval, My EDG, and if I finish my last 2 group meetings that I am getting sleeved in November. My husband loves me at my current weight, but I think he says I look good just to make me feel good. I thank him, but I've been wearing this fat-suit for 4 years too long.... I hope you get yours in November too! :D

I can't wait to NOT have to... put off travel because I don't fit in airplane seats.

I can't wait to NOT have to... wait for other people to get out of the way on stairways and sidewalks, because I know both of us won't fit.

I can't wait to NOT have to... look around for a sturdy chair without arms.

I can't wait to NOT be the fattest person in the room where ever I go.

Ahhh, the mattress dent...I know it well. And the sweater or jacket with EVERY outfit.

dar1983,

Its funny to read about the things that many of us go through, but the sad reality is that these difficulties really hurt us. It feels good to actually laugh at myself instead of feeling sorry for myself. :lol:

Funny thing, I commute daily on buses, with narrow-ish center aisles. I dread walking up the aisle, because I have to either go straight up, and possible knock people with the hips/thighs, or try to go sidewinding up the aisle, in which case I might get them with the but/belly.

I also can't wait to not be the last person on the bus that someone is willing to sit next to, because I may take up some extra space. I usually sit on the inside and lean into the window, so rarely is there any overhang into the next space. This doesn't stop people from making the face and sitting elsewhere. I mean seriously, sometimes they choose to sit next to the regulars with BO, over me. When I see this, then I uncompact myself in the seat and just hang all over, so that they can't be comfy if they abandon the stinky seat (my way to be spiteful).

      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.
