When I was fat I would forget I was fat and try to go out and be active and I got reminded VERY quickly that I was fat. I was reminded that I'm 38 recently and for some reason I still think of myself more like 28. When I go out and do something it's SO much easier without the weight. I can get in shape with so much less effort and carry stuff and get around with ease. I still have days where I feel lethargic but most days if I want to get up and go I can without getting exhausted after 10 minutes.

A big YES on more energy. Getting up out off the couch was a really adventure. Pain in all my joints.

Now I can keep up with the grand children.

Oh yea, just ask my husband (not just the sex part).....

The other day I bent down to get something out of the corner cupboard in the kitchen, had to swat way down & reach. When I stood up hubby said, "You couldn't of don't that a year ago." Oh so true.

I am more active in the garden, I take stairs all the time now, Yes I have way more energy!

I love my band!

      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.
