I Get Excited When . . .



Recommended Posts

You know weight loss surgery has changed you when the following begins to happen:

I get excited when it's time to take my beloved caramel calcium chews.< /span>

I get excited when I approach the scale at the doctor's office.

I get excited when trying on sunglasses at the store and they all FIT.

I get excited when it's morning snack time and my chocolate Protein Bar awaits.

I get excited when it's time to go to the gym.

...ok, I made that last one up, but the rest are true!

What post-surgery is exciting for you?

That was hysterical! :D Thanks for the laugh....that will probably be my least favorite one too, but since I haven't been sleeved yet, I will be interested in knowing what other people post! Great thread!

I'm excited when I can physically do something I couldn't before. I am able to bend while gardening- who knew!?!?!? without feeling nauseated.

I get excited when I can do air squats and lunges without turning red.

Also when my 34 jeans fit comfortably, almost loose.

I get excited when I sit in a chair where my hips don't touch each side!!!

I get excited when I have a pile of clothes to take to the second-hand store because they are too big!!!

I get excited when those clothes I have been saving for when I lose weight I am actually able to wear!!

On the same note. Comfortable sitting in a chair at the theater last week and not spilling over. Not having to use a seatbelt extender on an airplane.

I get excited because while my clothes don't fit long, it's not because they are getting too tight like they used to, before surgery.

I get excited because I don't have to fear going places because the chair is too tight.

I get a thrill from being able to easily tie my shoes.

I love waking up every day knowing I have the real potential to be a thin person, knowing I was not controlled by food yesterday, and I won't be today, either.

      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.
