Things You Don't Have To Worry About When Your Not Fat



Recommended Posts

A friend of mine who is getting surgery around the same time is me, was cracking me up the other day when we started to think of all the fat person issues that will go away when we have our surgery. Here was our list, please add your own.

No more seat belt extensions on planes

Ability to sit in booths without having to move the table

All the buttons/snaps on our pants are broken

Sweating all the time

Ability to shop wherever we want

No more elastic

No more expensive fat people stores like Lane Bryant.

Ability to bend over and shave my.legs without passing out

Roller coaster rides!

Love everyone's!!

Mine would be::

1. Wrapping a towel ALL THE WAY around me after a shower or dip in the pool!

2. Being able to shop on the clearance rack in target!! (they never have anything cute in my MOO MOO size)

3. Wear a winter coat that doesn't make me look like the kid in "a christmas story"

4. Go to a theme park/ Water park and ride EVERYTHING without fear of not being able to fit or looking funny!

5. Stand next to my, 6" 2' physically fit...without an ounce of fat on him, husband and look like we actually belong together :)

When I sit down on a surface or chair and I hit that surface hard enough that it makes a sound I say "ouch" so it seems more like I fell versus my body being so huge that furniture makes noises when I sit... I'll be happy to no longer do that

Omg those bucket lists are fabulous!!! I'm reading them thinking," yup these are all MiLESTONES as the weight came off!" and because of the buckets list we can all relate to, is why the bypass family is compassionate :))

One I would add is:

to be able to skydive. Which I completed Nov 7, 2008. I didn't have to sign the extra waiver cause the extra weight posed a danger, didn't have to pay the extra weight "hazard fee" and I actually was able to fit in any suit they had to offer.

We should make a "bucket list" thread.

      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.
