Do you have any rather odd or unique goals?

Do a split again? WOW! For ever doing one!

I forgot a major one- my engagement and wedding bands were stuck on my hand for years due to my weight gain- and in the pre-op area they managed to get them off using a VERY painful method with wide dental floss tightening the finger and pulling them little by little. I have them on a gold chain now but want to lose enough to put them back on.

And I can now weigh on my scale from childhood!!!! 249 today....

After reading others goals, I have to say the one that jumped out at me was sitting in a lawn chair. It's that overall concept. I'm getting ready to buy an inversion table and my first thought when reading the specs was to jump to it's weight capacity. I would love to live life at a weight where I can assume I will not break the item, but just automatically be at such a reasonable weight that I don't have to check the capacity.

Oh and some day I want to be where no one knows me and, with weighing something like 160 pounds, I join into one of the silly conversations I hear in groups of "normal" sized women who are gabbing away about how fat they've gotten and how they just sooo need to do something about it. I don't know why. I've just never done that when it wasn't the absolute truth so it would be fun to play that silly little female game.

      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.
