Can't wait to not hear "...but you have such a pretty face" said to me directly as if it's a compliment!

Can't wait to rock the fashion and styles I truly love and that's fitting for a trendy 28-year old girl!

Can't wait to not be the "fat friend".

UGH!! The "pretty face" **** can kiss my ass!! LOL Total peeve. It's the worst back handed "compliment" ever. My whole life I heard this! If I never hear it again it'll be too soon.

I pretty much agree with all of yours.

Able to shop & find something that fits in a dept store that isn't a Women's ext size store or has a W after the number.

Able to get on an amusement park ride with my kid without the fear of not fitting

So many things!

To not always be the fattest person in the room

To be able to travel internationally again and not immediately stand out as the "fat American" (or have people point, laugh, make rude comments) :(

To shop and buy regular sized clothes

To go on dates with successful men that don't have fat fetishes (and find someone to marry!)

To learn to scuba dive!

To not be afraid of breaking a folding chair, fit in a seat, etc.

To really live and not let my weight hold me back!!

Hmm. Can't remember when the daily noise stopped but I had a bite of my husbands burger last night and my stomach howled for a while over it (I've got to remember my sleeve doesn't like ground meat, it really was just a small bite to taste too!) and I'm 8 months post op but I'm sure everybody is different. As long as its not painful, I wouldn't worry about it.

TMI but to not fear crushing my hubby during 'adult activities'

One of the reasons I decided to get this surgery now is because with the last 20-25 pounds I've gained, for the first time, I started to worry about the crushing my husband thing. It's making me self conscious an inhibited during adult activities.

Understandable I felt like that when my husband and I were the same weight with me being only 5'2 and him being 6'2 I never thought I would have to worry about being too big for him but when the scale climbed and we were the same weight @ over 220 lbs it was all I could think about the bedroom was just not the same....

It will be better for you I now weigh less than my hubs by over 50lbs even though he too has lost a little weight and I have definitely noticed a change in our "activities" ;)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
