Taking off seat belt extension. Shopping any where I want. Have a lap for dads dogs to sit on instead of my chest. Being able to sit on ground and not have to worry if I am gonna be able to get up. Being able to sit in a booth in any restaurant. Not having to analyze a piece of furniture at someone else's house to make sure it will hold me.​ Knowing I can fit on any amusement ride. Going skydiving when I get to my goal.

Fitting into a booth and not rub the table.

Riding amusement park rides with my daughter.

Fitting into normal size clothes from where ever I want to buy and not just certain stores.

To be intimate with my husband and not feel like a big hog.

To have MY body back again.

Being cold - I swear I sweat all the time!

Not huffing and puffing going up stairs.

Seeing my eyes again as my cheeks get smaller.

The energy which has already kicked in.

Not walking slumped over because my back hurts.

Getting back into all my cute shoes and size 10 clothes!

And...shopping shopping shopping!

being able to stand at stove, sink, or whatever for as long as needed without having to go sit because back, hip, knee or whatever else hurts. I had to tonight that is what made me think of it. I know it is mostly weight related as I have never injured my back etc. The knee maybe sports related but I know getting weight off will help.

      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.
