Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I can't wait to.....



Recommended Posts

Sadly, I cannot wait for the judged looks I get from people to stop. I went into GNC the other day, and the sales associate flat out said: "You aren't like any of our normal customers. Are you getting weight loss surgery done soon?". I know I shouldn't be embarrassed, since I am going through the process, but it's kind of unsettling/embarrassing when there is a store full of people.

That's absolutely revolting that they thought they had the right to say that to you, what give them the right to belittle you like that. :hugs:

I live in Hawaii, and there are people who are very large individuals. So it surprises me that there is still the judged looks or fat shaming.

My mom was at the GNC with me and she said she thought it was more of a "Oh, you're in here because you're making a change"... Rather than an insult. I think it's more that I am used to or rather expect the negativity

I got another though: I can't wait to actually LIVE in Hawaii - hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.)

I can't wait until I am not in pain. I have RA and Fibromyalgia and my entire body feels like it's in a FLARE all the time. I can't wait to play with my 4yr and 11 mo old boys in the floor longer than 10-15 minutes without being in excruciating pain. I can't wait to enjoy hiking and biking trails with my husband. I can't wait to be HEALTHY! I can't wait to look how I see myself through my eyes. I look forward to MY JOURNEY of loving myself!

Leggings and boots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going on a 2 week vacation to Disney/Universal/Cruise to Bahamas for my 25th anniversary in April. I cant wait to buy new clothes for that trip!

Of course, I am looking forward to better health, less pain, longer life, etc, but it's the clothes and shoes and swimsuits that have me excited!

To be able to have the stamina to jump my horse again! Not get out of breath (thinking I'm having a heart attack!) and blotchy faced one time around the arena....And fit in my beautiful riding boots, not the ugly elastic plus sized ones I use now. ...And look cute in my riding breeches!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
