When friends and family want to join you for workout sessions or walking because your weight loss is inspiring them to get healthier, too.

When you wear cotton underwear because you need the friction to keep your pants up.

When you're able to maintain your weight after losing your weight.

That's a bloody first!

Cannot wait for that! It'd be a first for me too.

Your pets come around to the dinner table because there are finally scraps.

LOL Your husband and children have you order a meal when you are out to eat because they know there will be scraps.

Pffft, that's a new one. I like it. I started buying these newfangled shorts because the things were designed to keep you cooler et. al. but I have had "pant slide issues. Now it makes sense. Thanks.

A new one for me. I was walking toward my husband at Walmart this weekend and he didn't recognize me from a distance. Said he was looking for someone bigger. He said I look like a different, skinnier person. ????. That was a compliment for me!!!

This weekend, I went and intentionally bought 2 new pairs of pants about 2 sizes smaller so I could shrink into them. Tried them on yesterday and they fit now. Not sure if I should return them or enjoy them and buy more later!

When men you have known for years start asking you out for dates. My latest two - the produce guy at the grocery store and my insurance guy.

I have known both of these guys for several years.

      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.
