When you can put your wedding ring back on! I have not worn my ring in many years cuz I was too heavy and refused to resize the ring. I was always going to lose weight! Well finally I have. Put it on for the first time today! Sooooooo happy.

Oh yeah me too!!! So glad to wear it again!!

When for the first time in your life you weight less than your husband. I am 7 lbs away from being smaller than him for the first time ever since we started dating.

you don't have to worry if you will fit in the seats at stadiums, or seats with sides

you can pull your legs up kind of normally to paint your toes

you can see your collarbone starting to form

you can see the definition of knuckles

you put on your winter coat you could not zip up just to see and not only can you zip it up but it will most likey be too big by then

you no longer have to buy 26/28 tops and are excited you can float between the junior plus and women's plus depending on the top because you are an 18/20 now

you have to twist the seat belt before latching it so it fits right instead of latching it, sitting down then pulling just he chest part in front because it doesn't fit

your co-workers tell you you're wasting away

and i will be so glad when i can say some of the other things people have said on here!

The loose skin under your arms makes slapping sounds against your sides.

All the double-takes when you walk past a window or mirror. I can barely believe it's me every time.

My knees and even calves not rubbing together anymore when I walk. Don't think I will ever have the "thigh gap" but not being able to hear the friction shuffle is enough for me.

You know you have lost weight when....you go to reach for a towel to dry your hands and your ring goes flying off! Tried to tell my husband it was time for a new bigger ring in a smaller size and he didn't go for it....stuck with resizing. :)

      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.
