...you can actually run up the four flights of stairs that used to have you huffing and puffing after climbing the first two! (And that's just the beginning of your workout.)

My doc saw my BP and said, "Oooooo, that's a pretty number!"

You can bathe the dog while sitting on a small child's step up, without your belly choking you and making you pass out from lack of oxygen!!! ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1455591904.507669.jpg

You get asked to sit in the middle all the time in the backseat because you're the smallest.

I don't hear a deep groaning sound from my scale when I weigh myself (it was either the scale or my stomach was too big for me to notice I was stepping on my dog by accident). :)

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.

Did you say yes?
No... I didn't because there's a fireman pursuing me since before my surgery and if and when I decide to go out it will most likely be him first. It's a men in the uniform thing ???? in the meantime I will enjoy getting healthier and enjoy the side effects of looking sexier ????

Update: have started accepting invites for drinks now. First date of course was with the fireman. It was lovely and he has talked about a second date. Also, I had coffee date with another gentleman whom I find very attractive this week. Both these guys have known me since before my surgery. And I had a great time conversing and laughing with both.

get it girlfriend! :)

For me it was yesterday my husband took me out shopping for my birthday and I tried on a size 8 pants and it fit me. I did the happy dance can't remember when I was able to do fit in a size 8. Also I just realized that I am a short in pants I was,never able to fit in short size pants I always got regular or long. This was the best bday gift I gave my self doing the sleeve. :-)

lol i remember trying on an old navy 18 thinking what a great fit...tried on same size months later and it was terrible. turned out my 5'5" self was fitting 18 long (so probably a 20 reg lol)

      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.
