I Can't Wait To Not Have To...



Recommended Posts

To not get stuck in small chairs.....Went to the salon today and they only have 1 size chair with armrests that just barely let my big butt in there. Wasn't paying attention when I got up and the chair came with me - Embarrassing! The ladies around me laughed and I laughed it off, but I was silently thanking my sleeve that I'll not go through that again next time I'm there.

Love this thread makes me laughter and cry And I can't wait for all the same things and even my 5 1/2 year old daughter whispered to me yesterday while we were at the nail salon

"Mommy after surgery you won't have to sit on my chair too, just yours" my butt's so big it spills over to the chair next to me LOL

Then once at home she says out loud in front of my mom and aunt who are totally supportive of me

"Mommy after surgery you won't rip your pants either" ... My thighs rub together and wear out the middle

So it seems I'm not the only one totally excited abut the new me kids gotta love them, I just wonder what else she looks forward to

PEOPLE ACTUALLY SAY THAT TO YOU??

Only a few really good friends from back in the skinny days were like whoah!! What happend who did this to you??? They couldn't believe I let myself go and a few blame my ex, one friend actually told him that he fattened me up so no one else would look at me/ like me and I could never leave him... Yikes

So another I can't wait is to reunite with old friends. And look just as good if not better than them :))))

I cannot wait to not..

Worrying if I can buckle my seatbelt

That they will sit me at a booth in a restraunt

Fear of not being able to sit in the seats at concerts, sporting events etc.

Worrying if I can fit in the seats at a beauty salon

My lower back hurting when I walk

My upper back hurting from being to busty (Hopefully I lose boob)

Getting out of breath when I walk

Hearing my extended family (you know those you only see once a year at a big family function, great aunts and uncles, 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins) saying things like "Wow you've become a big girl" "I remember you when you was this big, you was so small" and crap like that.

I have a friend who decided about 6 months ago he was going to lose weight and work out. And he did he lost about 35lbs in 5 months. During that time he REALLY bashed me and put me down for my weight. Rubbing it in my face that I couldn't do as much as he could, and how much he was losing etc. He really made me feel bad about myself. I can't wait to the day he can't do that to me anymore!

Not having to feel like it's killing me to tie my shoes..oh and when I tie my shoes they won't be tied on the side..lol.

I can think of a lot more things I can't wait to do lol like being able to ride a roller coaster and not worrying about fitting in the seat, being able to wear boats..those tall ones! Wearing dresses, I am going to wear tons of dresses! Riding a bike, hopefully get a few dates and meet someone nice..lol. When I go to weddings dancing my butt off, swimming and not feeling like a whale, or some freak..oh and have an actual swimming suit. The past two years I combined shorts/skirts, and shirts to make my own make shift swimming suit. I want an actual one! OK got off track sorry.

I can't wait to take a vacation and actually concentrate on having fun. Usually I'm planning how I will lose weight so I'll be thin on my next vacation.

Finally feel like my husbands compliments are true.

Not be the fat mommy in my sons kindergarten class.

I can't wait to not step up and down a 2 step bench at my sons games without being in pain.

Sitting down in a chair in public and not have my shirt ride up to show off my big belly. I hate when that happens.

Sitting down at work and home without having my back ache.

Take a compliment without second guessing it.

Have to shop at a Plus size store.

I can't wait to not hear "ur so pretty, if u just lost some weight u would be perfect " from a guy. Tired of being the fat friend. Tired of going to the club and being the fat girl at the club and feel like everyone is wondering why I'm there. To have my husband's shirt b way to big on me instead of fitting just right. To having a smaller pant size than my husband. Ect

      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.
