I know all of you are also experiencing this wonderful sureal feeling also. IT's GREAT!!!! And for all of u getting ready to have surgery I wish u all well and a safe, happy, speedy recovery.
AS of today September 10th, 2009 I'm down 91 lbs. I weigh 183, started at 274. I have 43 more to go to get to goal of 140!!!! This is so amazing. I'm only 4 1/2 months post-op.
What I don't miss from being 274 pounds
1.feeling like I'm fattest/ ugliest person in room
2. people starring with those judgemental eyes when I ate or was out shopping
3. buying clothes and taking them home to find out I need to return them because they were too small
4.Feeling hot and sweaty all the time
5. Out of breath
6. Tired
7. Hated wearing dresses
8. Hated getting dressed up for special occasions
9. Hated how some people wouldn't even acknowledge me or make eye contact with me
10. Being told "you have a pretty face" this was the only thing nice people tried to say to me to feel better.
11. Wearing big old ugly granny panties
12. Hated looking at myself in the mirror daily, with and without clothes, didn't matter.
13.Hated going to restaurants and had to ask for table instead of booth cuz i knew I couldn't fit
14. Driving with my belly hitting stirring wheel
15. My daughter not being able to wrap her arms around me to give a hug
16. My legs rubbing together causing rashes.
17. Hated any pictures taking of myself
Same thing, I could think of so much but this part of me is going to be a memory only. I will do my damnest to not get heavy again. I will have to look back and remember how much I hated my life then. I enjoy how much I have to look forward to from now on.
