Will I like the new me?!

[Suga Renique Reborn 115]

I took a lot for me to say I'm nervous about the new me!

My husband met me at 14 I was a uk10/12 until I was 16 then I ballooned to a size 24. Now stuck, until this year Whoo hoo!

My husband is great but he's not got a lot to say about it. How are your partners feelings?

My husband doesn't want to talk much about it either. He knows my mind Is Made Up and actually will always be here for me exclamation point I guess sometimes people can't really talk about stuff... Time will heal all

Anyone done/tried new activities since they had surgery?

Also I actually can't wait to be able to sit with my knees bent up against my chest again! Or other silly things like that. Anyone else had silly things that they can now do or are excited to be able to do?

I was cold the other night and David's flannel shirt was on the couch (don't get me started on THAT issue) but I was able to put it on over my tee shirt and comfortably warm up in it. I haven't ever been able to steal his clothes in our relationship so that kind of made me feel like a giddy teenage girlfriend. He's lucky I didn't go find him and wake him up to share my enthusiasm.

There is nothing about the changes that I don't gladly welcome.

The weight comes off....the physical burden.....the physical stress.......the threat of pending developing health scares.......all of that going away.....leaves one with a better frame of mind to embrace life and take on each day in much better manner than before surgery.

I totally agree dub, just had one gut feeling that I wasn't sure about but I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel nervous and not having even been slim as an adult I wonder what skinny Laura is like?!? I know It won't change me as in my values etc etc but I've not met her yet in the mirror!

@@Dub is 100% correct ... when I was no longer focusing on the weight and health issues I was able to focus more on the rest of my life. I don't really think "Fat Stacey" was much different than "Thinner Stacey" in all the really important areas ... my morals and values have not changed, but I am so much more confident and willing to stand up for myself now. Also, I find that I don't hide behind the weight like I used to ... I put myself out there much more and am willing to take more risks than I used to in all aspects of my life. The hubby has always said he likes me for ME ... no matter what that looks like. However he has been my biggest supporter and my rock when I flounder. All in all, he likes this me too ... especially in the bedroom.
