What nsv are you looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

Besides the normal ones, shopping in the regular clothes, no more meds for health issues...

1) buying a bra at Victoria Secrets and pushing the girls back up where they belong.

2) coughing and not having to cross my legs. The mommy cough as my friends call it.

3) not having to worry about camel toe when I wear pants.

What are you looking forward to?

Here are my 3 things:

1) being able to fit into a teeny airline seat (I have to travel for over 12 hours to get back to the States to visit family) -- I would like not to have to worry if I'm spilling over onto someone else.

2) I would like to buy clothes here in Paraguay where all the women are super thin. So far, I'm still ordering from the States.

3) I am looking forward to going to the beach/pool in a swimming suit and not feel like a beached whale.

Definitely thighs not rubbing together anymore. I'm getting pretty close to it, but I think it'll take getting to goal weight to completely get rid of the problem. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted trying to find shorts long enough to be able to walk in without my thighs chafing raw after 10 blocks.

Going to a patio party and fitting in those itsy bitsy plastic seats without my thighs bluging out the sides and the worry that is this chair going to break.

Shopping at a non-plus size store and getting great deals

traveling around the world and feeling comfortable in the airplane seats back in coach

1. No more New Years Resolutions. I always feel like a failure when I have come to yet another year and have not lost weight.

2. Not dreading pictures anymore because I have to face how big I really am.

3. New clothes!

1. To be able to go to weddings and funerals without trying to hide from people I haven't seen in years.

2. When I hear that someone has died, to react appropriately to the situation, and not with, "Oh shit! How do I get out of going to this?"

3. To willingly have my picture taken, and to stop saying to people who've taken my picture, "Don't you dare post that on the internet!"

4. To shop for clothes in real stores, and not just online.

5. To wear clothes that aren't fat lady clothes.

6. To feel good!

7. Cute shoes.

8. It's too late for me to ever expect to wear swimsuits in public, but maybe in my own backyard swimming pool?

9. To be able to sit in a booth, comfortably.

10. To be able to be seated in any chair in the room.

Something i haven't haven't even thought about but I've achieved even though I haven't reached goal yet: Being able to wrap myself completely in a NORMAL towel, not one of those huge sheet towels, loving it!! :D

I remember when a normal towel fit. Now it covers 2/3 of me. I would also love to be able to be able to wear shorts without having to pull them down from creeping. It's amazing how much we avoid that we do not even think about anymore. It has become the norm. I sometimes wonder how this happened, but I guess it just does over time. Your jeans start getting tight so you buy a bigger size and blame it on the dryer shrinking your clothes. Then one day you look at a picture and barely recognize yourself. Hopefully the opposite will happen soon enough for us. I have never felt so overweight as I did at a team building exercise at work on Wednesday. We had a scavenger hunt at the zoo. By the end of the day, I thought I was going to keel over. Next year I will be up for the challenge. I can't wait.

I just thought of another one.

When someone parks their car a little too close, I don't want to have to suffer the embarrassment of not being able to squeeze into my car. :(

      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.
