Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 My mother cracks me up. She kept telling me... " man I look like a witch with my pointed nose " about herself. She kept saying that every time she saw her reflection. I was still fat and she was at goal at this time. Now I know why she would say those things. I thought she was nuts but really she was still suffering from her mind not catching up with her body on her thinness. Kinda funny looking back.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm beginning to think your mind NEVER catches up with your body. I mean, look at me. Not bad for 47, but I keep looking for the fat woman there. And I am nearly 22 years post op! I am 5'10 " , and my teeny mother, 5'5 " , who had WLS a year after me, and weighs all of 110, maybe on a good day, keeps buying clothes, which are too big for her, and then gives them to me. Go figure. Of course, I will keep taking the clothes. LOL I can't convince her that she doesn't fit a size 8. BUT I DO! And I buy size 14. Call me Ms. Baggy Pants. It's a never ending circle.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 haha I am thinking I'm in agreement with you definitely there, granted I'm only 2 yrs out. It's prolly because I'm so used to failing every way of eating....for like umm...19 or so yrs? That is a ton of failures EEEP! I almost expect to wake up one day 300 lbs. I remember being a teen where I was only thin for like a year or two...but when I was fatter I'd stare at my legs and go..goodness..am I really THAT fat? Is that my leg? That leg is so fat and huge..how can that be my leg? LOL It's funny you mention that about the clothes. I got a new wardrobe from my mom who was so in love with clothes that she bought 20 to 30 yr old styles for her body and she is approaching 60. The styles were very cute and indeed too young for her so I was happy to take them off her hands. I just thought it was cute she'd go for clothes that made her try to look younger. I know she is not the type to regret stuff in life but I will do it for her just a little bit. I wish she had gotten this done when she was 30 and had a happier life to enjoy those fashions. But I can't spend too much time there..as looking forward is more important. Her delaying tho to much later in life is perhaps what motived me to get mine done sooner cause I see all she coulda done.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Now part of this is not funny. My sister is in prison, for drugs, and is only 8 miles from me (She's from Texas, I live in Oklahoma). I went to see her for visiting day. I was not wearing a bra. I don't need one. LOL. THEY MADE ME GO HOME AND PUT ON A BRA. I did, and then I went back in, they searched me, yanking it out from my body to make sure I didn't have anything hidden, and then let it snap back. Oh, I was mad. Why did I have to put on a bra for that? They knew in the first place that I didn't have anything. I did searches for 20+ years. I'd take a no bra over a bra ANY DAMNED DAY.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Whoa...all kidding aside, Jac. What reason do you think they had for sending you home for a bra? Did they tell you? Do they know you personally and maybe were giving you a hard time? Just wayyy curious. Carol G. > Now part of this is not funny.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I am still surprised when I look in the mirror, but not in a good way. Before WLS, people always thought I was younger than I was -- my saying was the fat pushed the wrinkles out! LOL! But post-op, I got WAY older looking, and now people mistake me for much older than I am (I'm 48). I can't count how many times I've been offered a senior discount at stores, and my hair is not gray (there's a bit of gray in it but you have to look) and I don't color it -- just my face looks old. We were at Fort for one of my husband's reserve weekends, and I pulled out the debit card to pay for his room, and the woman behind the counter said " So Mom will be paying for this? " My husband graciously took off his hat (revealing his bald head, as he has the baby face of all time) and said no, this is my WIFE, not my mother. In my next life, I want to be a man. That way if I look old, I can be " distinguished " instead of " frumpy. " ~~ Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I am so darned glad to hear that someone who is further out from me cannot see thin in pix. Or in real life. Or not on a consistent basis. Or something. I get SO confused when I fit between furniture or into tiny spots. Part of my brain knows this, but the front part still thinks as I was. Mind you, I have been this size for EIGHT YEARS (wls was 9 yrs ago). I was never any single size (ok, or even small span) for any length of time. I was morbid for 5, starved down to chunky for 7, and varying degrees of chunky & chunkier since I was 6. Although I don't see morbid, my brain still files me under chunky. I'm 5'1 " , so it doesn't take but a few lbs to put me there on this frame. Lil Tina jelly bean toes is technically shorter than me, and weighs just a few more lbs. So, in essence, is " bigger " bmi, anyway. And yes, we discuss this all the time with each other. I stare at her lil teensy self and cannot grasp the concept that there is enough room in there for an entire people. All the guts & everything cannot fit into such a small package. How can that be? And how is it that we can swap clothes? Presumably you have moments that you can grab a shirt and hold it up and be pretty sure it'll fit? But other days, you grab a size to two too big? And the spatial thing...... where can I FIT? Do guys do this? Don didn't really go through it. He was kinda lanky til he was 40, went directly to morbid without even pausing at pudgy, which is his family history. Happy birthday, 40, be huge. He never related to large. So, whether he is at 175 or 190, he doesn't particularly care. His whole self is not wrapped up in weight issues at all. I cannot imagine a life in which weight is not one of the major daily dynamics. Is anyone with me here or did I just unload a lot of nonsense? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Every now and then I dream that I am growing. I wake up in a cold sweat, gasping for the breath I never had when I was full sized. When I don't see size, it's because I am the viewer, not the viewee. I do dream, often, vividly. And yeah, you're right, I am often aware of which I am in the dream. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 What an interesting question! I generally dream myself thin - or at roughly the size I am now, anyway. But even pre-op I didn't dream myself fat. I knew I was fat, but never recognized myself in shop windows when I'd go shopping or walking in the mall. I'd always be surprised to realize that short, round woman was me. I was one of those yo-yo people so it was rare for me to be the same size two years in a row and regularly would swing several sizes up or down (but the last several years pre-op mostly UP) in a relatively short period of time. Wonder if that makes any difference?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm with you 100% Though not as far out as you or Jac...I look into the mirror and see the fat girl looking back at me. I see her butt, I see her legs, I see the rolls of flesh around her belly, I see her double and triple chins. It's there and it's oh so very real. Yet once in a very great while...I'll get a fleeting glimpse...maybe while I'm out and about...and see someone vaguely familiar, yet a stranger to me...and wonder who that it? I still bang into doorways, because I think I am that wide going through them. When I sit in a chair I still throw myself back into it, because that's what I always did...in order to try and get my butt far enough back to not tip forward. I will walk around something, rather than try and squeeze past it because I'm not that small. Within the past year or so I've finally be able to say that I was fat. Yup, at 500 pounds...I was fat! Not chubby, not chunky, not a " big girl " ...fat! But I'll tell you what I can't say. I can't say the " t " word. Nope. Can't say it about myself. I may wear petites but it's because I have short stubby legs and arms. I may wear a size small...but an extra small?? Oh no...not me!!! Cause we all know that smalls are cut large. One thing I'm sure of....no how, no way am I or will I ever be t--n! Sue (who is in the nonsense boat with !)

So, in essence, is " bigger " bmi, anyway. And yes, we discuss this all the time with each other. I stare at her lil teensy self and cannot grasp the concept that there is enough room in there for an entire people. All the guts & everything cannot fit into such a small package. How can that be? And how is it that we can swap clothes? Presumably you have moments that you can grab a shirt and hold it up and be pretty sure it'll fit? But other days, you grab a size to two too big? And the spatial thing...... where can I FIT? Do guys do this? Don didn't really go through it. He was kinda lanky til he was 40, went directly to morbid without even pausing at pudgy, which is his family history. Happy birthday, 40, be huge. He never related to large. So, whether he is at 175 or 190, he doesn't particularly care. His whole self is not wrapped up in weight issues at all. I cannot imagine a life in which weight is not one of the major daily dynamics. Is anyone with me here or did I just unload a lot of nonsense?
