I also didn't answer this one the first time around because I was stuck and it was starting to look like I'd never get there! lol.

1. I will walk into any normal sized store and know that if I see anything I like, they'll have one that fits me.

2. I will have an ENTIRE WARDROBE full of things that I only wear at home in front of my fiance.

3. HOPEFULLY, I'll get to goal in time to feel comfortable asking him to carry me over the threashold on our wedding night.

4. Not wear a large or extra large wet suit when I got scuba diving. And not wear more than 15 lbs of weight.

5. Truly know that if I stand out in a room, it has nothing to do with my size.

I'll have to come up with more here...

LOL Kat, my daughter is so afraid I'm going to want to "share" her clothes that she is making an effort to slim up so she can stay ahead of me. (she is 14 though, and her worst night mare is me dressing like her.)

Wow - I love this one - my secret skinny dreams

1. To ride the Great American Scream Machine with my daughter (she begged me too a couple of weeks ago and I was afraid of getting squeezed to death by the lap bar...(It's a roller coaster at Six Flags Over GA)

2. Never have to hear my kids say that I am fat - my oldest has gotten better since she has gotten older - now she just says "the way you are now" BOY - that hurts (My two youngest are too young for that yet - so maybe they will never get to that point.)

3) Not be embarrased by being the only fat mom at school functions

4) Not have to have knee surgery

5) Have self confidence

6) Clean out my closet - no more fat clothes

7) Go to my husbands work functions and not feel embarrassed.

8) Not suddenly come down with the Flu before my husbands big Christmas party

9) Weigh less that my DH

10) Must to the Victoria Secret thing too

11) Have wild and crazy sex with my husband - not just lay there in one position.

12) Go on a cruise and enjoy wearing swimsuits and evening gowns

13) Go to the Mall to shop

14) Not be considered an endomorph

15) Not hide if I see someone I used to know before fathood(or pretend I didn't notice them)

16) Not have to wear the BIG gown at the OBGYN and hope it closes

17) Not look envious at skinny people - well - maybe I still will do that

18) Never fade into the background again!

19) Go places - snorkeling, deep sea fishing, to Ireland and Australia, Europe - anywhere and not be a hobbit anymore

20) To hear my husband say that I am beautiful and believe he really thinks so...

Most of all - To thank God for giving me the gift of life through the help of the band, and allowing me to live to enjoy it - really enjoy it.

I CAN"T WAIT!!! :clap2:

My GRANDDAUGHTER is 14 and lives with me. I can wear her clothes (she's not overweight - I'm just very close to goal). Can you imagine anything more traumatic than sharing your grandmother's clothes? The really low-rise jeans are all hers, though. I'm not into flaunting my underwear, or showing my butt cleavage.

      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.
