Topic: RE: Do you wonder what it will be like?
I too am wondering what it will be like in a year after my surgery in June. I have been overweight since I was 16 now in my 50's and I can not remember me at a normal weight. I remember me being 250 then 300 then 350 up to 400 now back down to 333 today. I have to be at 315 or under by my post op visit or he will cancel my surgery. I just hope I can make it.
I am going to try to write down some changes I will be going through as I lose the weight. Like be able to walk without so much effort and see my feet when I look down etc...
I am having this thought of I am in a confort zone now and the big changes can be really scarey. I do not know if anyone else was that way or not. I am trying to come out of the comfort zone and go on to new and better things.
I wish you the best with your surgery.

at 34, I cannot remeber being less than 217. I would love to be 160 (WITH A BREAST REDUCTION). I have been spending alot of time thinking about why I have been overweight. I put on this blanket of fat to protect me a long time ago and now I was going to get rid of it. It scares me and I am seeking therapy about it; mainly because I am afraid of transfer addiction. But this is my current point of view on it:
I will become a better version of myself
I will let go of the package that has prevented the world of seeing who I really am
I will stand out for who I am not how I don't fit in
I will be able to personally testify to my daughters of seeing an obsticle and overcoming it with any and all tools availble to me.
GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!

Good luck. Many complications are minor. Hopefully you have a skilled experienced surgeon that will take good care of you.

I'm in my 50s and have always been fat. I have no idea what it will be like. I can't wait!

You are not alone. I cannot even fathom it. I am 30 as well and have never been the skinny girl. I was in about 16s in high school, and I just wonder what it will be like to not be the big girl. I try to imagine if I will look the same, who knows. All these questions just keep flying around my head, along with per-op and post-op questions. I know my husband said a few hers ago he would never support me in surgery, but the last 2 1/2 years since I had my daughter he has seen me try so hard, and now he is so supportive in my choice, knowing I've tried. Part of me thinks this will fail like everything else I have tired. Ok Im sure I went off on a tangent, but this whole process brings up so many emotions and tons of questions for me.
