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!

OMG! feeling Cold! Be careful what you ask for although it is inevitable.....

I cannot get warm anymore! I have electric heaters around when I'm in my office or watching TV.....I want to move to warmer climates now that I have lost all that walrus blubber.....

B52 - I've been there before and I remember I was painfully cold! But I figure its a lot more attractive than sweating like a pig with the slightest exertion!

LOL! This is so timely. My husband and I were chatting last night and we kept hearing an irregular clinking noise. After about 10 minutes of hunting for the source of this strange noise, we realised that my rings had become so loose that they were twisting on my fingers and clinking against each other!

Tops for me:

1. Crossing my legs

2. Fitting into regular sized clothing

3. Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat without worry they will make me buy another seat

Darn these were mine as well with the addition of being able to run again. I use to love to run and have not been able to in years. I was banded 1-17-2013 so the long road has begun.

Cheers,

Adam

      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.
