When you put on a nice pair of jammies and as you walk into the next room, the bottoms slide down your butt and land in a heap on the floor!

When there is a fire drill at work and you climb back UP the 4 flights of stairs with your coworkers instead of waiting for the elevator when its over. Without thinking about it. Like it's NORMAL to climb 4 flights of stairs. And your make it with little problem. Dream come true :)

Corollary... When you're on your way back from the bathroom and decide on the spur of the moment to do a lap around the stairs just to kick-start your metabolism! (My legs still burn every time, though.)

You and your 10-year-old kid can BOTH fit in your old sports coat.... and button it!

Your coat gets a little roomier every day.

The clothes you bought "snug" now fit. You've shrunk into a smaller size. That was always the plan but never happened in the past.

You don't mind listing your size on your Christmas wish list!

When your plate still has a heap of food on it and you can't take another bite.

When your clothing continually falls off your body.

When you had to wear a belt to keep up your dress work slacks that are now too big.

When you can actually walk by Ann Taylor Loft & know that very soon you'll be able to shop there and comfortably wear those clothes!

When you feel more and more of your ribcage when you lie down. Weird feeling.....by the way. Lol

When you pause at a clothing display and wonder, "What size am I now?" Knowing it's LESS than last time, not more!

When the day after Thanksgiving finds you stepping on the scale and DOWN a half pound, instead of up.

When you dare to wear colors that are beautiful and vibrant, not just the ones that hide fat.

When you know that a half slice of marvelous homemade bread isn't the diet apocalypse beginning, but simply a half slice of marvelous bread you've chosen to have...and of course no longer feel driven to chase it down with four 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.
