My preschool students not asking me when The baby in my tummy is coming out !!!! Or telling me I should be Mrs.Clause because I'm big like her .

But mostly to feel beautiful and comfortable around my husband , even though I know he loves me anyways :)

I will not miss walking by stores that I like (Loft, banana Republic...) and not being able to buy their stylish garments. I'm already a clothes wh*re...I might need a bigger closet post op.

I will not miss being in the elevator at work and standing next to some size 00 actress.

I will not miss only wearing heels that are under 3 inches because of my weight.

I am writing these things down, because I am sure there will be times early post op when I wonder "why did I do this?"

This is why:

1. Having to shop from a limited clothing selection. Eff you , size 20, you suck.

2. The feeling of my fat middle squooshing out when I sit down.

3. swolly feet

4. Feeling like the fattest person in the room

5. Being the fattest person in the room

6. Feeling invisible

7. Feeling self conscious and size conscious

8. My stomach touching the table in a restaurant booth

9. Not fitting comfortably in a movie theatre seat

10. Looking at myself in pictures

11. Feeling ugly

12. Body aches, knee aches, hip aches

13. shoes that used to fit, and now are too tight

14. Low energy

15. Not turning heads

16. Looking in the mirror naked

17. clothes that no longer fit.

18. Not being able to wear my rings

19. Being afraid to run into people I haven't seen in a while

20. Not feeling pretty

Ok, I only wrote 20. I'm sure there are more. Help me out. Why do you never want to go back?

I do NOT miss being or feeling like the "biggest girl in the room"

Seriously, the pantyhose debacle. Between getting them on, holding my pee, the inevitable roll down and the latter day chafe.

I am sick if wearing black because it is slimming. I am tired of praying the seatbelt will buckle every time I fly. I am tired of mentally judging a chair width with arms hoping to squeeze my butt in it. I am tired of having heat rashes in folds that shouldn't be there. I am sick and tired of the Water dam my body creates when I open the drain in the tub. I am tired of my knees hurting. I am tired of laying my clothes on the bed and it looks like I got a new bed spread. I am tired of pulling a big o black bra out of the drawer that could fit two bowling balls in. I am sick of... I could go on and on but I think you already know.

I won't miss...

1. The panicky feeling as I am struggling to fasten my seatbelt on an airplane.

2. Walking down the isle of that airplane and slapping everyone in the face with my ass as I walk by.

3. The aches and pains in my joints after a walk.

4. Naps because I'm exhausted. (Naps because you stayed up way to late the night before are perfectly acceptable.)

5. The isolation I have allowed to happen because I'm ashamed.

6. The medication I have to take every morning.

7. Buying LARGER sizes every time I buy clothes (buying SMALLER sizes every time is acceptable)

8. Feeling self conscious when I eat out.

9. Buying pretty clothes in pretty colors - not that crap in the Plus Size department at Dillards or Macy's. Seriously, where do those prints come from? And the fabric sucks, too.

10. Sweating. A lot.

Oh em gee! My biggest peeve about WWs meetings was how close they put those little chairs to each other. I hated when my thighs were pressed up against a total stranger's. Did they not realize that 99% of the people there are fat?
I know. The 27 different times I went I would put my keys on the chair next to me

      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
