This morning it just hit me!!!! NSV, I love towels!!! I mean seriously!!! A towel fitting around your body after a shower is a beatify thing!!!! Hadn't experienced that in sooooo long... who knew something soo simple would be so life changing!!!! LOL

Yes, I used to have a couple of humungously large towels that were just for me, and now I can use the normal family ones. It's the little things that make the difference!

4 Mile mountain hike with 4 other moms, 11 kids and never once did I HUFF or PUFF going up, down, around big boulders, and crossing a small creek on large rocks. I was shocked at how easy it was. Felt like I've been hiking for years, lol!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

Ok - this is a silly one.....I love going into public bathroom stalls and not having to do all these contortions to be able to fit in the stall, turn around and shut the door at the same time. :P

Not silly at all girlfriend! Thanks for sharing!

So I have a Military ball to go to this weekend and had to buy a dress and I bought a size 10 in the jrs dept the last time I bought a formal dress it was a size 20 and still had to add panels in the side made from the shawl!!! I was super excited. At the end of the shopping day I told my boyfriend that I was so happy since before a day of cloths shopping would have normally ended in frustration and tears from nothing fitting but this time everything fit. Yippy!!!

So yesterday I was waiting at a stoplight and I heard someone yell - when I looked over, a guy standing on the sidewalk yelled over and asked me what time it was, I told him 2:30, he yelled thanks and I smiled at him then he yelled Hey again and when I looked at him again he had his arms out and yelled "Can I have your phone number?" I almost wrecked my car lol. Rediculous, but made me smile all day. :P

Over the past weekend, I was able to get into a size 18 pair of shorts I found at the bottom of my dresser. Big jump in 7 weeks since surgery when I was a size 22/24. Amazing!! Also dug up some old clothes I had stored away and there is a pair of size 17 shorts, I can pull up but just can't quite button, my bum can't wait to get into this summer.

      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.
