Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

What are you looking forward too? [emoji4]



Recommended Posts

So I'm shooting for a late Nov early Dec. GBS. I am close to being finished with half of the appointments... but I'm just getting excited for this new adventure to take place in my life. A few things I'm looking forward to is buying some cute clothes, being able to work out At the gym I will have access to when I have the surgery. Feeling confident and sexy! Maybe even getting to wear a cute two piece swim suit... fitting in a carnival ride with my kids. Not being squished into a airplane seat... ooo and how about this!!! When people say "you are so pretty for a big girl... you seriously could be a plus size model" thanks ass but u ain't small either 🤣

Looking forward to (hopefully) not having to shoot up insulin every time I want to eat something.

I'm also looking forward to being able to fit nicely into any cute clothes I find (H&M here I come!). My wallet... not so much [emoji23]

But mostly looking forward to having the energy to do all the things I want to do in a full day without feeling exhausted come 2pm.

Oh yes energy is a big plus!!! I feel like a need a nap in the afternoon... this one might be a little x rated so hopefully it doesn't offend anyone but trying some new sex positions... my husband and I have a great sex life now but I think it will get better with me being more confident[emoji51]

I feel like I could make such a huge list, but I'll share some of my top picks:

  • My husband to be able to pick me up
  • Go horseback riding again
  • Fit on roller coasters again
  • Comfortably fit in an airplane seat and lower the tray
  • Be more adventurous in the sack ;)
  • Shop at 'normal people' stores for clothes
  • Run farther distances without my hips hurting

There are so many things... shopping for new cloths bc the old ones don't fit anymore... my whole body not hurting at the end of the day... the energy to play with my 5 kids... going up and down stairs without being afraid my knee is going to buckle with every step... not taking 7 pills every morning when I get up. oh and not feeling like all regular bathroom stalls are made for kids because i barely fit!!!

It's something that I would love for him to be able to do! We're going to be buying a house next summer, and I'd love to be corny and have him carry me over the threshold haha.

I had my surgery earlier this week. I have a lot of weight to lose. So I'm setting lots of smaller goals so I don't get discouraged about how much I have to lose. My first goal is to be able to shop in 'regular' clothes stores.

How are you feeling? I'm curious what your stomach feels like after surgery??

I felt great after the surgery. I was on pain killers for about 8 hours and then didn't need them. It's hard to explain what my stomach feels like. Generally you can't feel it but when I go to drink or eat you feel full after just a few mouthfuls. 6 days out from surgery and I'm convinced this is the best decision I've ever made

I'm imagining like a burning sensation or something? But that is exciting to know you feel good!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
