Oh boy, you guys mentioned most of mine. I especially love the "lady part" one!

Being healthy.

I would like to buy clothes from L.L.Bean, etc. Any catalog.

Look forward to not jiggling.

Walking down the aisle of an airplane without my hips hitting people upside the head.

Sitting in a booth at a restaurant

Making my Doctors happy.

Achieving an actual goal.

Buying concert tee's from a catalog.

Believe it or not, shopping at Goodwill, finding deals on clothes that fit.

Standing straight with my feet touching each other w/out falling over.

Fitting comfortably through public restroom stall doors.

Riding a bicycle.

Walking my dog, who at 25 lbs, walks me!

Not propping up, lifting and shifting in the shower

Having my nippies pointing out not down.

Weighing less than someone else for once.

Sitting in those folding camping chairs.

Not trampling people at shows to get to my row seat.

Fitting in that seat w/out my hips invading someone else's space.

Weighing less than my husband.

Gaining control of my Life.

Last, and most important...making my Mom (RIP) proud.

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother, my condolences.

Yeah, my Mom always told me I was fat when I was skinny. She was really hung up on me being fat. She passed last year while in Hospice of Breast Cancer. And before she slipped away, I promised her I would make her proud. And I think she's proud that I've come this far...

I bet you have all made your passed loved ones so proud! Some of the things I am excited for are to be able to shop in regular stores at the mall (instead of resorting to the clearance rack from Walmart), looking smokin' on my 5th annerversary this April- ( I get banded in early October... I *think* he bought a ring!) too see my lady parts, paint my toenails, wear my hear certain ways that right now don't flatter my face, stop getting bumps on my inner thighs from them rubbing together, be active, have more energy, man... I could go on forever!

      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.
