I can't wait to not have to position my 1 1/2 yr old beside my roll when I hold him!

To not have to grab something to turn over in bed!

To have sex with the lights on;)

And to buy clothes because I like it not because it's long enough!

I can't wait to be not being too big bellied to have sex with the hubby while on top! Being short and big belly getting in the way make it impossible.

I can't wait to not being able to wear heels because my feet hurt and swollen. Also, I can't wait to not have to buy shoes in special widths unknown to man because of the swelling. Ladies 5.5EEE not an easy size.

I can't wait to not have to buy slip-on shoes only because I can't bend down to tie laces.

I can't wait to not be able to go to the bathroom in public places because the space is too small or the toilet too high to make cleaning myself possible. (Again, short & fat bad combo).

I can't wait to cross my legs. The fat and severe inflexibility that goes with it make it impossible.

I can't wait to not looking like a slob every time I eat something.

I can't wait to not having my fat roll on my desk and strike keyboard keys when I go to answer the phone.

1. Cart around 100 pounds that don't belong to me;

2. Make sure I have the "right size" pants for the day--I've got,like, six different sizes in my closet;

3. Deny that face in the mirror (who on earth is that fat girl who kinda looks like me?);

4. Think about my weight and the struggles it brings ( heart, clothes, social,etc.) all day every day;

5. Worry that when I do some ordinary thing--like sweep the front walk--that I'm going to pull a muscle and injure myself because I'm so out of shape;

6. See these healthy slim women on television and wonder why I feel like I've never gotten to live my own life (some fatso took it over and is holding me prisoner); and finally,

7. Have THIS as a problem and have to step on scales in front of medical professionals (yup, I've got a problem), and face major surgery to deal with it. I'm trying to say that the other stuff in my life doesn't require removing 85percent of me to fix.

One of most frightening things that happened to me this summer was being at a local amusement park and my adolescent boy wanted to go on a roller coaster. I wasn't going to for different reasons but nonetheless they had a seat to sit in prior to the ride to see if you fit. No more measuring height. This time it was a matter if my fat ARSE would fit! Humiliating.

I know that feeling. I live 2 miles from an amusement park and every time we pass it my granddaughter asks me to take her. I thank God she is still too little & I can use that excuse for not taking her rather than her Nana is too fat to ride the rides with her.

Looking foward to NOT standing on my daily commute because I'm embarrassed to share a 2-seater.[/quote']

Me either. It's been so long since I've tucked in my shirt.

*I've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, but couldn't stand the thought of myself in a wetsuit (manatee anyone?).

*To have my grandmother quit sending me diet books and clothed that are too small every year for Christmas.

*To not have wear "bloomers" under my dresses to protect my thighs.

*Knit a sweater with only one pack of yarn instead of two.

* To be able to paint my own toenails.

ETA: *To not be the one slowing everyone else down on hikes/trips/other adventures because I get so tired.

I can't wait for people to not assume I'm single because of my weight and not the fact that I'm an a*****e

To not always feel the need to be an a*****e because I refuse to be referred to as jolly

I can't wait to NOT have sore feet. And sore ankles. And sore knees. And sore hips. And a sore back.

I am with you on that too!

I can't wait to not have a rash under my boobs (or find food in my bra when I take it off)

I can't wait to stop accidentally bleaching the belly line of my shirts when I clean the kitchen counters

Ahh' date=' not holding my breath to put on a shoe.

To not have little kids tell me I must be a good cook because I'm fat (actually happened)

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

And this is a big one for me: to NOT make fun of myself before someone else can.[/quote']

My belly turns the oven on. It has touch controls and when I lean over it starts to preheat

Wow, I just realized how much money I will save on yarn! I mostly knit or crochet for my daughter because it's too expensive to buy the yarn for things for me. :)

Haha...my belly does that too. And it helps me drive because it is rubbing the steering wheel when I drive. Turns on the washer/dryer when I lean in to get my clothes. I could go on and on about how "helpful" my belly is.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
