What do you miss or think you will miss about being obese?



Recommended Posts

I feel like I should step in, but I'm afraid there might be dog poo somewhere.

but uh could y'all both drop this, please, and not derail this post into a flaming war. You both have been rather helpful in your comments except for that brief stint. I've just ignored the crap and go to the next one, but y'all are making this thread about you now and gonna carry it out for pages.

and you really have no call to say who this forum is for or not for. Everyone talks differently, the words may look the same - but with so many different meanings.

I didn't see the wet blanket comment - don't really care about it, but for you to point it out and make a HUGE deal over it - makes me think of a drama queen... just... stop. I like that we can have conversations here without everyone getting butthurt over every little comment. I quit coming for awhile because everyone was getting upset over everything.

Not getting butthurt over every little comment and not making a HUGE deal outta it, is being an adult.

all of that aside - I still hate shopping.

All. Of. This.

Youre right and I love it!

And yes, my name is Ms Chan and I'm a drama queen.

Who are you talking about?

It means... simply put-- we're having fun reminiscing about the said topic. Someone put a damper on the perspective hence the name "wetblanketass" "non perspective havingass". Everyones entitled to their 2 cents but we don't all have this holier than thou thinking. It's ok to miss a few things... but at the same time the opinions of those who don't miss things are fine too. Just having a little friendly banter... not sure that it was necessarily received that way. Somebody just got a little roasted that's all---- not to be taken personally :)

Now back to regularly scheduled programming!

Thanks, girl. I'm old.

I'm confused why people who miss things are wrong. I'm also confused why people who don't miss things are wrong.

Why is always an US vs. THEM scenario around here? And I really don't understand why the name calling starts. Totally ridiculous. In MY opinion. ;)

Ditto on the name calling. We're adults and this isn't the playground.

I think my sleeve came out perfect. I enjoy all kinds of food and don't worry as much because I have automatic moderation.

I think some people are confusing the question "what do you miss" with "do to regret your wls".

If I think about missing something, it's more like a found memory.

With that in mind, I do say I miss the hours of unfettered grazing that came with a cocktail party loaded with tasty appetizer (or a great buffet).

Now, I have to scope everything out and decide on what 6-8 ounces I'm going to enjoy.

Sometimes I miss mindless eating, but never do I regret my wls decision!

Well, it seems that people mistook what I said earlier. This is what I said: "Yes, complaining about things you missed while being obese is like complaining that the sun is in your eyes after being held prisoner in a cold, dark and moldy basement for years."

What I was trying to say creatively was that what we are missing is small change compared to the benefits of weight loss. In no way was it meant to trivialize and demean other people's thoughts and feelings about what they missed when they were obese. It actually was in defense against those people who thought that my thread (yes, I am the one who started this thread) was meant to downplay the importance of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. For me, being obese IS prison. I feel trapped and limited. So there is a personal truth in that statement. For a while, all I heard was the benefits of weight loss. Since I was obese for my entire adult life, I just knew I was overlooking some of the downsides of being a normal weight - like being cold all the time. I was curious if there was more "downsides" so, hence, this 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.
