Awesome thread!

I had a lot of similar goals and have reached most of them through the summer. Best ones so far:

Having tons more energy to play with my kids - I've been to fairs and waterparks and actually played with the kids on all the rides, slides etc.

Having lots of room in an airplane seat - flew in July when I hit my hundred pound mark and it was MARVELOUS!

Shopping in regular stores - goodbye plus size stores forever!

While it's still a wee bit uncomfortable to cross my legs in a straightback chair, I cross my legs all the time on sofas and other types of seating.

This thread is fabulous. It made me appreciate the nsv's I have achieved and look forward to more. Good luck to all of you who are at the beginning of the journey, you have great goals!

adding to what most people have said about being able to shop in regular stores, cross legs, ride roller coasters, etc...I booked a cruise for my 10 year wedding anniversay when i hit the 25 pounds lost mark, figuring that if i could do 25, i could possibly do more. The cruise is still just under a year away, but when it gets here, I would like to fit in the weight requirements to be able to zip line, parasail, hike, kayak and do all kinds of other excursions that i haven't been able to do on other cruise vacations because i was too fat.

Shopping in the misses department

Hopefully lose a few bra sizes

Get rid of my chubby hands and feet

Run around on a beach with my kids and not look like a beached whale!

Be confident

Run an entire road race

Enjoy the sight of a mirror

Shop with friends - in the same store!

I'd like to smile......and feel that happiness inside as well

Mostly - I'd like to be proud of myself!

I don't want to put a dampener on things but just be aware this may not happen.There are lots of causes of high BP not only being overweight. Quite often high BP is unexplained. I have been at normal BMI for more than 2 years now and I still have to take mine. At one point I stopped taking them as my BP dropped too low and I ended up in hospital but it didn't take long for it to start creeping back up again.

Too true...my mother weighs about 90 lb and takes bp medication. But losing weight can hopefully reduce someone's dosage!

      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.
