YOU KNOW YOUR "FAT" WHEN.............



Recommended Posts

OK LETS HAVE SOME FUN! I AM GOING TO BE WRITING A BOOK IN THE NEAR FUTURE ABOUT MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY, AND I WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT FROM MY FELLOW FRIENDS ON LBT.

I WANT TO HAVE A CHAPTER THAT TELLS THE HUMOROUS SIDE OF THIS JOURNEY. SO LETS HAVE A GOOD LAUGH. IT MIGHT BE THAT ONLY US PEOPLE THAT ARE/OR HAVE BEEN HEAVY WILL EVEN "GET IT". BUT THAT OK.

SO MAKE SURE TO GIVE US YOUR TWO CENTS.

YOU KNOW YOUR "FAT" WHEN...............

  • YOU PULL A MUSCLE, TRYING TO WIPE YOUR BUTT!
  • WHEN YOU CAN'T FIT IN THE AMUSMENT PARK RIDES!
  • WHEN YOU LOOSE THE BAR OF SOAP IN THE SHOWER.
  • WHEN YOU CAN USE YOUR STOMACH AS A TV TRAY!
  • WHEN YOU CANT CLIP THE SEAT BELT IN YOUR CAR ANYMORE.
  • WHEN HAVING SEX, YOUR HUSBAND HAS TO "TEETER TOTTER" OVER YOUR BELLY.
  • WHEN GOING TO THE BATHROOM MAKES YOU BREAK OUT IN A FULL SWEAT!
  • WHEN YOU CAN'T REACH ALL YOUR BODY PARTS TO WASH THEM IN THE SHOWER.
  • WHEN YOU PASS "GAS" AND IT DOES NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO.

OK, LETS HERE FROM ALL OF YOU............

When you have a burn mark on your shirt from your car's steering wheel.

When your car seat is so far back that your arms and legs don't reach anymore.

When you notice the car door drags on the cement till you get out.

When you are always fighting to get your drink in them tiny cupholders.

When a supersized drink doesn't last thru your whole meal.

When your laundry basket gets filled up with three of your shirts.

When the plastic hangers bend due to the weight of your shirt.

When the metal hook you put your coat on looks more like a nail when you leave.

When the farthest you can see looking down is your bellybutton.

When the light of day never gets to your legs.

When you can put your shoes on better by feel then by sight.

When you see a wooden toilet seat and pray that it doesn't break with you on it.

When you stop flying because it is just too expensive to keep buying 2 seats for one body.

When the elastic waistband on your pants is so tight that you are afraid it may kill the person next to you if it gives out.

When you have more rolls then the bakery does.

How are those?

When your arms are too far to reach the key board

When you can not turn around in the bathroom stalls

When your kids want to play climb the mountain while you are laying in bed

When you eat at home before going out to eat so you do not eat as much infront of people

When the Dr. takes out the extra large pressure cuff.

When you stop crossing your legs to sit and only cross your ankles

When you need two large bath sheets to dry off.Or you prefer to air dry.

When you can only fit a couple of shirts and pants in the washing machine. Then you have like 3 loads of laundry for one week.

When you don't go to a bar with your friends because you can't get up on the bar stool.

When you sit at a table in a restaurant because your belly is too big for the booth.

When you can't buy nice leather boots because your ankles are too fat and you can't bend down to zipper them.

when you have forgotten what your bits look like.

When you use public loo's and are unable to shut the door behind without leaning over the loo.

When you don't recognise the the reflection in the mirror.

When you sweat in other places other than the arm pits.

When you got to Rod Stewart Concert and change seatswith hubby because he is skinner and it's a bit quashy if you sit with chubby girlfriend.Poor Hubby.

When you avoid walking between parked cars in a parking lot in case you get stuck between two vehicles

When you evaluate a top on the basis of whether or not it's long/wide enough to cover your butt and not on if it's cute or not

When you know the only date your gonna have on Friday night is with Ben & Jerry or Papa John

When you start to forget what you really look like because you only glance at the mirror anymore

When changing clothes is aerobic activity.

When there is no room for Water in the tub because your body took up all the space.

You HAVE to get pedicures because you can't maneuver enough to groom your own toenails.

You stop buying shoes that tie because you can't reach them to tie them.

You go without a coat in the cold because you ALREADY feel like the Michelin man.

When one maxie pad just won't do..

When your driving home and your thinking, the first thing I'm going to do is take these clothes off because nothing fits and your hot all the time..

When your family of 30 goes on a family cruse and you don't, dreading the small spaces,walking and bathing suits.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
