What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I won't miss sticking a needle in my stomach and injecting something that could possibly cause cancer into my body!!! Bruises are a normal thing to my stomach and my fingers can get feeling back into them after poking needles into them several times a day!!!!

to fit in a towel after a bath. I have to use beach towels, and they barely wrap around me all the way.

to not have back pain and knee pain... i am 26 and i used to not have this.

to shop at a normal store. I love fashion.... I want to be able to shop everywhere, not just one place.

to fit in all my shoes again. My feet have beccome so fat that i wear a whole size bigger. plus a W shoe.

There are so many more things, i could go on and on.

As I am about to get ready for work, another thing I will not miss is having to wear so many things under my scrubs. Everyday I have to wear a girdle and Spanx underneath my uniform because scrubs are so light of a material, every lump and bump shows. It's bad enough I am hot already, but with the added materials and the fact that I try to keep a sweater on to hide my arms, it's just too much. I can't wait to be able to wear just a bra and panty with my clothes and not all these extra items.

yay for me no more 5x scrubs.

I will NOT miss feeling awkward in social situations because I'm the biggest person there.

I will NOT miss not being able to shop with my friends because they don't sell plus sized clothes in the stores they like.

I will NOT miss worrying about when the inevitable diabetes will kick in.

I will NOT miss the dread I always have before I have to get on a scale at the doctor's office.

I will NOT miss wearing bigger clothes than and weighing 100 pounds more than my husband.

I will NOT miss feeling like I'm being judged while eating because I'm fat.

I could go on and on...

I do not and will not miss my shelf that the top of my bum had. This is something that my hubby loved to rub and grab but I absolutely hated it. I am glad its gone. It's like someone shaved it off.

I will not miss that fat lump on my neck.

I will not miss the odor. I feel comfortable being around people now.

I will not miss my fat head or face.

Are you serious? That lump on my neck will go away???????!!!! I'm all in now!

I will not miss the pain from the weight affecting my arthritis. I will not miss the increased pain from fibromyalgia. I will not miss feeling fat when I make love to my husband. I will not miss feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I will not miss fear of running into someone I know. I will not miss feeling like I'll always be fat.

Everybody has established a lot of things that I will not miss.

•My car is low so I will not miss sliding out like snake to get out.

•The pain I endure going food shopping cause my knees are shot.

•Will not missed carrying the laundry to the basement like a 90 year old!

•Will not miss spending more $ on plus sized clothes only because it has more material like Lands End and LLBean

This can go on but I do miss my baths. Bending of knees and trying to get out had made impossible !!

I won't miss:

lying about my weight on my driver's license, carpooling in a two-door vehicle and stressing whether I'm going to get stuck getting into and out of the back seat, being on an elevator full of people and hoping that it doesn't lurch because I know they'll automatically think its because of me, fearing fire drills at work because it requires walking down four flights of stairs and then walking another two blocks to the meeting place, checking the window before I leave work everyday to see if the path is clear to the parking garage so no one will see my face turning red and my gasps for breath.

What I want to do:

Take a spinning class, get down on my hands and knees without worrying whether I can get up again, get up to go to the bathroom in a crowded movie theater without worrying that my butt is hitting everyone in the face as I squeeze by, feel confident that I have a better average chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse because I can actually run now! :-)

Always having tons of clothes (because they span 6 sizes), as my weight has been more volatile than the emerging markets index...and nothing to wear, because now my "fat" clothes are getting too tight!

      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.
