fat Does anyone miss being overweight?

[Disabledaccount 154]

Weird question i know but I feel like it's possible to hate the physical part of being overweight but like some things about being overweight i.e. the eating, being invisible etc. For those that have had the surgery and lost the weight, do you sometimes miss being overweight?

Sorry don't think anyone miss being fat

I have been fat and thin many times. I think when fat all people see is 'the fat guy', So I am invisable. At times that is good. But not good enough to stay fat. Anyway now I am old and can use 'the old guy' as cover! :-)

ABSOLUTELY not! I don't miss anything about being fat and love everything about my sleeve.

I'm still overweight but sure as heck don't miss being 65 lbs lighter! Onward and upward!

Absolutely not!!! I don't miss the huffing and puffing; the extra body odor, sweat, and having to shower multiple times a day because if it; the inability to participate in activities because of tiring so easily or being embarrassed of my rolls and flap bouncing and making noise....

The list can go on and on. I don't miss it. Not even the food.

No not at all! I'm so much happier now!

So I'm thinking the answer from most everyone on this site is NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

'Course it does mean I have to participate in life instead of sitting on the sidelines watching. Can't hide behind my fat anymore. Oh well . . .

Yay, this makes me happy. I hope the food cravings go away after the sleeve and I can just eat to live.

Hell no..

I think plenty of people miss food, but doubt many miss being fat.

I imagine if you are a person that likes being extra large (like a friend of mine) you would not have this surgery...

Oh, and as far as being "invisible" when your fat?

I felt that way too. But it's just not true! I stuck out like a sore thumb! Really when I got back into a more normal weight I felt more "anonymous" when out and about..

I'm not skinny now but I DO NOT miss the extra weight at ALL!!! Totally agree with LV, I feel the most "normal" now because I'm just average, not super skinny and not morbidly obese. I "blend" in more now than ever before.

I've only lost 33 lbs, but I can say I absolutely do NOT want to go back to what I was!! If a person even has the thought that they MIGHT miss being big, my suggestion is do not have VSG done.
