Default After a day like today.....

I can't wait to be post-op. Went shopping ALL day long today. My feet were killing me, my ankles hurt, my back ached, I was sweating, and nothing looks good in my size. I came home and collapsed, will be so happy when shopping is fun again!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

oh wannabe....i am so with you. i hate shopping and most times when i need something new my mom goes and buys it, if it fits i keep it, if not she takes it back and tries something else. i too can't wait to go shopping even just for an hour or two without the sore feet, back ache, sweats, red face, huffing and panting.... soon sweetie, it will happen for both of us.

Hey guys...It's going to happen for you. Chins up. I used to feel the same way
and all though I still weigh more then many people's start, the weight that I have lost so far has made the differednce between enjoying walking and it being painful in one way or another. I felt the same way you guys do pre op. Try and be kind to yourselves between now and then.

Okay so I enjoy shopping more for clothes now, but there are still some issues for me...like when I saw my thighs in the mirror and noticed for the first time that they are starting to sag and I am getting vericose veins popping out of the woodwork... I do look forward to having even more weight gone and being less self concious about it all. It is coming... and it will be here, but I am impatient...lol

I think 3 way mirrors in fitting rooms are the devil's design. He put in the harsh lighting, too

I am totally with you on that one wannabe!!! Going shopping at Easter I think was the last straw for me. It was the deciding factor for my surgery. I went shopping and all I could find were these tent looking shirts and crotch riding pants. They don't make cute clothes in plus size and then when they do....they cost an arm and a leg. I love to shop for my daughters but hate HATE HATE.... it for myself. I am lucky if I get a new outfit year. I really hate it, if you can't tell.

Good luck on your surgery!

I can understand the feeling of shopping.

And the changeing rooms YEAH its HE**.

I havent went shopping yet for new clothes, i want to wait untill i make to 200lbs, but my clothes are really loose as it is, so i think i might go shopping before i head back out to the beach, in 2 weeks.

I dont sweat, i havent since 1984. So i get really HOT, and light headed, I wish i could sweat, i could work out more, and for longer.

Right now i can ride my bike for 25 mins, work with weight for 20 mins, so i want to go a hour a day 3 times a week.

But yeah guys your day will come just like our day has.
Momma always said good things come to those who wait.
