Love this thread! I can't add anything....YET. I get sleeved on Sept 14th and I am beyond excited. But here are the can't waits for me:

1. I can't wait to stop shopping in the Plus Size Dept.

2. I can't wait to wear more form fitting clothes. I hate the loose fit that is supposed to hide my fat!

3. I can't wait to shop for a bathing suit....and like it!

4. I can't wait to wear dresses and show off a little leg!

5. I can't wait to wear tank tops in the summer!!!

6. I can't wait to wear boots...the ones that don't have the extended calf.

7. I can't wait to be able to run up and down the steps at work instead of taking the elevator.

8. I can't wait to get a new hair style...another phase of my complete makeover!

9. I can't wait to get off my blood pressure medications.

10. I can't wait to stop snoring....my husband will be forever grateful too!

And finally....

11. I can't wait to shop for sexy undies and show them off to my husband!

These are just a few of my favorite can't waits.... It's almost here!!!

After a bit less than seven months I have lost ... 43 kilos (95pounds) and reached my goal weight!

So yeah, my surgeon was quite amazed when he saw me last week for a check-up! I am pretty glad to be honest :) I even dared to go to the beach and actually be shirtless, this hadn't happen in years!

When you finally get rid of all the too big clothes cos in your mind you were still worried you would need them.... My yr is coming in November I finally took all of the way way too big clothes and gave them to a family that can fit them... And been trying to buy clothes that fit now.... it's a very humble amazing and beautiful experience.My weight came off faster then I ever expected... And the docs said I would only lose 80 pounds I think I far surpassed their and my own expectations.Not saying it was easy. It's still work..... ( def not the easy way out) But so very worth it to fit into clothes that to my eyes look tiny. Still gotta get my mind to catch up with what my eyes are seeing :) So proud of everyone here. And look at all the amazing things we have done.

      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.
