I know this sounds weird' date=' but have you tried using antiperspirant on your inner thighs? Works wonders for me - even during 100* summer days.[/quote']

Yep, I know that trick and you're right-it does work wonders. I am just looking forward to it not being an issue :-)

I can't wait to try new things because I am always scared to do anything... I have been like this all my adult life!

I can't wait to be able to accept my husbands offer of wearing his jacket on a cool night. I hate always saying "thanks but it won't come close to fitting".

One that I have developed recently, as my weight has gone up:

I can't wait to not have to check the weight limits on things: zip-lining, bungee jump rides, treadmills, chairs, etc....

Also, as a Coach bag-a-holic: I can't wait to not be disappointed that the new purse I fell in love with doesn't fit on my arm in any comfortable way, shape or form because the straps are too small for my chubby arms.

Jusstice, I know what you mean!! I want a purse that crosses over my body. My daughter has the cutest black coach purse that she wears across her body and leaves her hands free. I WANT that!!

I think that will be a lil gift to myself when I'm at goal. :)

I cannot wait for the following: feeling healthy, being able to get up fr/ sitting w/out throbbing pain, sitting comfortably in chairs/ cars, being able to wear normal sizes & not worrying about the robe when I get my hair "did" fitting or not, going shopping & clothes fitting ESP. Jeans, my list could go on & on:-/

As a Dad/Guy, here are a few things I can't wait to not have to do:

Put off going camping, hiking, fishing, biking and other outdoor activities

Not being able to ride amusement park rides with my kids - finally take my son to Magic Mountain!

Having to dress 10 years older because that's what fits

Worrying about weight limits for furniture and activities

Make excuses for not going to the beach

Having my size/weight define who I am

Worry about hypertension, diabetes and heart disease as a result of my weight

I can't wait: until i can wear boots with zippers, to feel comfortable going into the stores my friends want to go into, not having to worry if I'll fit into the rollercoaster or not, to not have my thighs touch, buying a bra from victoria's secret that fits me properly, not being the fat friend, to feel comfortable taking pics with my friends, when my double chin is completely gone, having defined collar bones, not having to get necklace extensions! Oh boy. The list can go on and on, haha.

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!

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

Just remembered one: I can't wait to not have my arse cheek pinched/caught as I sit on a toilet with a loose seat that shifts off in one direction while I overcompensate in the other direction. Ouchie.

Been there...done that!

        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!

      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
