What is your favorite part of weight loss?



Recommended Posts

Ever wonder what will be the best part that made you feel great about your weight loss?

For me, it felt great when I was able to tie my shoes without a struggle lol.

And recently when you actually can see your hip bones after every workout

What’s yours?

I love being able to buy clothes and feel good about how I look in them. Instead of always being disappointed!

1) the way I feel. No more inflammation in my joints, I feel comfortable in any thing I wear, I can tie my shoes without holding my breath..lol

2) the way I look, my confidence has come back, I make more eye contact during conversations and command respect.

3) my sex life...It been a while since I got my wife to climax in any other position other than her on top, but now I dont crush her as much I suppose and she gets multiple orgasms now from all different positions..Plus she seems more into me now..

4) the attention and flirting from the opposite sex (sometimes the same sex..lol) I must admit it feels good and its more noticeable to see these younger women flirting with me or looking at me in the gym or when Im out. I catch them sneaking peaks all the time now...Yeah boy!!! Feels nice to be noticed..

5) clothes shopping and dressing sharp, its so much more easy to find decent and stylish clothes in my size now..Not many modern brand names make a size 46 wiast and 2 xl shirt...Plus I look great in slim fit everything now!!

6) the fact that I have potentially increased my life span and reduced the probability of me getting ill in the near future.

I’m only 7 weeks post op so I haven’t fealt the full benefit of the weight loss yet. I did put up the tree with the family the other day and was amazed at how much easier it was to get up and down off the floor at my current 258lbs than it was at the330lbs that I started my journey at. I was up and down at least 8 times crawling under the tree for various reasons when all of the sudden it struck me that I wasn’t struggling or grunting and groaning every time I moved like I used to.

Being able to interact with my kids better and chase them down much easier.

Being able to purchase clothing anywhere and not having to pay an upcharge for a plus size.

People's reaction when I tell them how much weight I've loss :)

My perks from weight loss:

The girls look better. My boobs no longer rest on the shelf of my belly . I have visible collar bones.

I discovered I'm an adrenaline junkie. It gives me a high when younger people under estimate my running ability. I turn into a competitive bad ass when they step up to race me on the treadmill /the track at my gym. Game on!

I'm usually dressed down in jeans and fitness gear. At work appropriate for the situation. I love to dress a bit on the sexy side for date nights.

I went to a job interview yesterday and the place had tons of stairs. I climbed them all without being in pain or out of breath.

      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.
