Things I won't miss



Recommended Posts

As I was looking at my swollen feet last night and sweet talking my husband into massaging them, I started thinking this is one of the things I won't miss after losing weight. What are yours?

1). The swollen feet and ankles of course

2) the red mark around my waist from wearing elastic top pants

3) under boob sweat

4) the dents I get in my thighs from sitting in a too small chair with arms

I definitely won't miss....

Doing my hair and makeup as fast as I can so I don't have to look at myself very long.

Cringing while stepping on a scale at a drs appointment.

Shopping in the plus size section.

People asking me when I'm due when I'm not even pregnant.

I could go on and on and on. hurry up February!!

1. the constant dieting. feeling bad because i failed and restricted myself even more the next day..the yo-yo of it all.

2. not having to "check" to see if a certain store will carry my size.

3. no more tight girdles....i'll be happy to downgrade to Spanx. lol..

Having to plan all of my travel arrangements so that I can TRY to go during a time when I have a chace of having an empty seat next to me.. and then being worried that I'll be told I need a second seat... and once I get on the plain being worried I'll have to ask for a belt extender.

Not being able to sit in those white plastic lawn/party chairs.

Never finding good stuff at thrift stores.

Finally finding cute shoes that look good on me and then totally trashing them in a matter of weeks because they can't handle my weight.

Having a pannus. Yeah I know I'l stil have it after I lose weight but I'm getting that sucker cut off if I have to do it myself with a swiss army knife!

        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
