Recommended Posts

Oh man! Being able to: shave, wrap a towel around myself, RUN, dance, wear cute heels, not use a cpap machine while sleeping without fear of dying, waterparks, not feeling like I'm being stared at, not sweating for no reason, RUNNING, I really wanna run lol can u guys tell???

for me: run without feeling/hearing the bottom half of my belly lap against my thighs. SO embarrassing! plus being able to run for more than 30 seconds without falling over dead would be nice too

So how about a year ago I was working with a personal trainer for the first time. The guy had me jumping up and down on stair steppers. Now, setting aside the fear of me jumping on the plastic step, it shattering, and my big behind falling straight to hell....... My stomach was hitting my thighs. Sounded like my body was clapping for me! LOL It was horrible. Needless to say, I've never been back!

Welcome! God I can't wait to wrap a towel around myself. If its over 70° I'm sweating, and not just sweating, I look like I just got out of the shower sometimes :| have you had surgery yet?

The sweating is awful! I will take a cold shower and still have to sit down to cool off before I get dressed. No I haven't had surgery yet. I went to the seminar and I have my 1st appt with the surgeon August 3rd. It can't come fast enough, I'm do ready to get this ball rolling!

Congrats on your decision, just make sure to soak up all the info you can. It took me a year to have surgery after my seminar (took longer because I was stubborn about quitting smoking and needed to lose 5% of my body weight [20 lbs]) but was glad in the end that it took so long because I was super educated when I had surgery. I wish I found this site in the beginning like you instead of a week post op haha

Being able to wear skinny jeans

Being able to wear animal print clothing and not worrying about people thinking I'm smuggling an exotic animal.

Not having to try and tuck my fat into the top of my pants

Wearing low rise shorts/pants with out the top half of my bum hanging out the top.

It's been extremely hot! I had to stop wearing baby powder under my stomach and my breasts because I still sweat so much and the powder doesn't help. By the time I usually make it home, I have Johnson & Johnson brand powder bricks falling to the floor when I take my clothes off! That's one thing I won't miss!

*with tears in my eyes from both laughing and crying*

I want all of those things and more!

I want to stop being the fat wing girl for my single BF.

I want to turn the lights on during sex with my husband. Hell, I want my libido back!!!!

I hate being the trifecta of jokes...I have redhair, fairskin with freckles and am fat

If you want to look like an adult you have to shop at Lane Bryant and spend $100 on jeans, else you go to Walmart and whomever the jerk is who buys for their plus size department, clearly hates fat people. In what world does anyone who wears anything above large, automatically love Mickey and Tinkerbell? Because in the eyes of walmart, those are the only clothes large people wear. GRRRRRR

I want to be able to sit "indian style" "pretzel legged"

Dear God Grooming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sick of being the odd man out....I am the ONLY fat person in my circle of friends and family. ONLY.

When I met my husband and started dating, I was 132, over the years and kids, that has changed. He loves me, this I know, but his father is a jerk. Ever since the 1st extra pound I put on, he makes snide comments whenever we are around. Things like "I have been the same size since the Navy" "Make sure those truck tires are inflated properly with all the extra weight youre carrying around" "I told your mother if she ever gained weight I would divorce her" Good thing my husband is a better man than his father.

My soul wants to dance, but my body doesnt move like my heart wants me too. When this 100 pound person gets off my back, hubby and I are learning the tango and salsa and all those erotic latin dances!

My number one goal, because we know the weight goes buh-bye from the top down, is that when this fat girl is skinny. I have 3 GF's and I that are getting us some new boobies! We have made a pact that once I am thin, we are all gonna go in the same day and get enlargements. Cant decide between Pam Anderson or Dolly Parton though......

I love the list, My boyfriend's father is the same way, when he talked to him about us getting engaged, his father was like,"that heifer can't have kids! Why would you want to be with something like that for the rest of your life, you can do so much better than that cow." If my mother hadn't raised me right I would have smacked the man, HELLO! I WAS SITTING IN THE NEXT ROOM!

We're going to be taking ballroom dance lessons after I'm a loser I can't wait. And then we will be able to show off our new moves at our wedding that I'll look fabulous at, I would love to marry him sooner, but I don't want to regret my wedding pictures like I do my graduation pictures.

I don't want to worry about dying before my parents, I don't want them to have that heart break.

I don't want to worry about being able to get pregnant.

I don't want to worry about fitting in to cars, or planes or whatever.

I don't want to worry about chairs breaking under me

I don't want to worry about finding clothes that will fit.

I don't want to worry about dying before I'm 30.

I know losing weight won't fix all of my problems, but It will give me more time to try.

      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.
