I am 27 and I have never...

...Truely felt comfortable in any clothes

...worn a bikini

...just felt alright in a bathing suit in general

...bought clothes bc I liked them, not just bc they fit

...been waxed (accept for my eyebrows)

...not felt like the "fat friend"

I am rite there with you

35 and

* never been kissed

* never been asked out on a date

* never had a wax...down there

* never worn a bikini

I'm sure I have more but they're the top 4 for now.

I know how you feel. Even though I have been kissed, I have had very few relationships and my last one was almost 7 years ago. The thing that really sucks is even though I am way over weight my lobito leaves nothing to be desired and when I have the self confidence of a bug it dose nothing to help solve that problem or catch a guy, if you know what I mean...lol

As girls we dream up these ideas of what our life is going to be like when we grow up. In my dream, I was married around 25 with a couple kids by the time I was 30. Well, now I have turned 30 and don't even have a date for the ball...

I am really looking forward to getting my surgery and changing my life and how I feel about myself.

Oh and even though I have been kissed, The rest of my list is the same.

Never been out on a date

(go figure huh? a boyfriend but no real date! yes he was a looser, I know that now...lol)

No waxing (but I am not supper bummed on that one yet)

No bikini... (but I will )

Good luck with everything, Keep that hope alive,

We will loose this weight

We are beautiful

WE ARE WORTH IT!!!!

Hi Rosie! I envy that you are 21 and going to change the things you listed to things you will do! I am 35 and would give anything to have done this in my early 20s. You are going to be dressing in All the latest fashions and have lots of men swooning over you before you know it. As far as standing to work you will be running circles around that job... but trust me those jobs still suck lol.

Dont be sad , keep thinking of all the great things youre gonna be doing the rest of your life! :)

I am 50 and I have never:

  • been sweeped off my feet (carried) by a man
  • worn a 2 piece in public (have in my backyard but only there)
  • been comfortable having a family picture done with my children
  • worn less than a 16 that I can remember
  • been up in a hot air balloon
  • not have the inner thigh wear out first on my pants

What I have done:

  • went to Russia by myself and adopted two wonderful children
  • had great friendships
  • realized that I am a dang good person and I deserve to be loved--learned to love myself first
  • has someone who wouldn't let me hide my body from them and made me feel sexy even though I was heavy
  • bought a house on my own
  • have been on a cruise, snorkled, swam in the ocean
  • moved to Idaho to go to college not knowing anyone
  • moved to Missouri, from Georgia, and built a new life for myself with my children

I see weight loss as a way to be healthier and more confident and to try and be the BEST Me I Can Be!

Hmm I've done so many things on this thread that have been mentioned...traveled the world, piercings, clubs, festivals, college...

But one thing that I'm working to change on the eve of my 26th birthday is working to have a Meaningful relationship as opposed to just friend with benefits. I see all my friend engaged or married. Not that I want to be married just yet but I need to work on having a long term relationship with Someone who's actually worth it. (Not losers in the past) lol.

I'm 29 (30 in May). I have always pushed people away; because I didn't love myself. I love me down deep inside, but not my outside self. I have been married and divorced twice. Both were really bad relationships; but being overweight I was not happy being alone. I am currently single and happy to be getting out and finally remembering that I can love myself. This weight loss surgery is a tool to help me love myself more. I have always wanted to ride a mechincal bull, wear a full two piece swimsuit; go four wheeler riding in a tank top; wear shorts that were not bought in the plus section. I want to wear those cute cloths everyone else wears. I want to be noticed as a girl; not just another one of the guys. I want to wear high cowgirl boots; without have to scrunch them down cause my calves are too fat. I want to go out in the boat on the weekends. I want to get out and play baseball with my son; go fishing; and my number on goal is to go deep sea fishing and take pictures and look damn good in them! :)

Great thread, I hope that each of you gets exactly what you are wanting to to or to be!

I'm 48, and I've never:

been waxed down there

felt good about how I look

been very successful on a diet

loved having my picture taken

had cowgirl sex

went scuba diving

walked in a walk-a-thon race

jumped out of an airplane (but I will someday)

But I have done white Water rafting, hot air balloon, and a lot of other exciting things.... kind of a thrill seeker:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
