Mine are:

No thigh rash friction burn from walking when I wear a skirt

Not crying in disbelief every time I see a photo of myself

Bumping into my ex and seeing his reaction when I look and feel fantastic

Not avoiding my friends in case they notice I've put on weight

Feeling sexy and not turning my boyfriend's advances away because I'm ashamed of my body

Walking into a room with a smile on my face, and not wanting to hide under a table

Not being so crazy jealous and bitter about anyone who isn't overweight

Besides being healthy of course... I would like to ride my Harley and not feel like a fat slob.

I joke with my daughter, that my number one thing I want to buy is a skinny girl car. lol I probably won't but she is 15 and it makes her so mad, when I talk about me buy a little sports car.

Ok for things I want to do, and buy, that list could get long, but here it goes.

I want to take my daughter to a amusement park,and ride the roller coasters with her.

I want to join our adult soccer, or soft league here in town, as I loved playing when I was teenager.

I'm going to join a tennis league, in a town near by, and maybe even look for a man. lol I'm not sure about the last part of that, I may buy me a yorkie puppy instead. lol

I'm moving back to Florida, and going to the beach every weekend.

I'm going to go get a family portrait done with my daughter, because now I hate getting my picture taken and will not go to a photographer.

Well that is just a few I can think of , but like I said there are many more.

      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.
