Best ever!

When your husband picks you up and carries to the bed and throws you onto it, just because he can ;)

Also, I'm really close to this one because so I am getting excited for it: when you FINALLY weigh less than your husband, because he has never struggled with his weight. 10lbs to go !!!

Realizing that you don't have 100(+) pounds to lose anymore! Talk about a huge weight lifted!

Also going to the store, (not a plus size store) and them not having any of your size, not because you are too big, but because you are officially "Average" so they sell out of those sizes quickly :)

My Husband & I were on a power walk/jog... it had just poured... 1/2 way through the path was flooded out about 15 feet long... he picked me up and carried me through the Water (i had brand new sneaks on & HE didnt want them to get ruined!!)

First time he has been able to carry me! i cried tears of joy... he laughed... HAHA

When you go swimming with your old bathing suit and the bottoms fall off when you get out...or when you look in the mirror and notice how skinny you are getting like my shoulders, back, stomach, legs, and boobs.

I would love to walk up to my front door (8 steps) without stopping or being out of breath. I would love to play softball and go bowling again. But mainly I would love to be healthy again. This is only temperary. I will walk up my front steps and I will play sports again. Its just the beginning.

When I got dressed for work and had to stop, take off my pants, and hem them quick by hand because they're too long since I have less fat holding them up! Had to cut 1.5 inches off my workout pants too!

After 12yrs I'm finally lighter than my hubby but he struggles with his weight, and I can encourage him that he can make a change

      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.
