Definitely to fly on a plane without the extension and to be comfortable. To not have to wear stretchy pants, and to wear heals again.

I can't wait to feel comfortable in my own skin, to not have my thighs rub together, to meet new people and not think that they must be thinking how fat I am. To not be looked at by other people (particularly men) like I'm invisible. To have clothes that fit properly- no matter the size I wear, not all of the outfit fits my body- leaving some loose some tight (make sense?). This is my big one....to sit in a chair and not try and have most of the weight taken on my legs for mortal fear of the chair collapsing underneath me. And my other big one- to sit down at a cafe/restaurant and eat/drink without being out of breath or can't eat as my fat squishes my stomach making me feel ill. To not take several attempts to get out of my couch, shuffling my big fat bum further to the end of the seat to get up. To one day have someone look further than my skin folds and fall in love with me as a person. To no longer have guys drunkingly confess that they really like who I am but can't get past the weight factor. Needless to say- I will NOT be giving them another chance on the future!

Looking umm down and seeing something other then my boobs or 1st and 2nd tummy roll :P

Running down steps and not worrying that I'll set off a 5.0 quake :P

Not making that sound when I get up out of a chair :P

And not to forget that clapping sound that happens when I move fast and it's not my hands :P yeah never hearing that again will be nice lol

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".

I am new to this and this is my first post... Me and my husband took our kids on a family day a couple weeks ago, they all wanted to go to kart country. I was thinking in the back of my mind family fun for who them because i couldn't race cars, so there i was on the side lines watching everyone having fun but my 375 pound butt.... Its hard having a husbsnd that is so small and doesn't understand and don't care....wish he told me i was pretty....

Wow - we are on three pages already!

I can commiserate with so many of these posts. Yes, having people not wonder what in the world my husband sees in me. That's a big one. Not having my grocery cart looked at sideways. To not have to stand behind the toilet to close a door in a public bathroom stall...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
