When you no longer drive with your tip toes on the pedals, and can finally pull your car seat up to where it should be because your belly isn't in the way anymore :)

When you look forward to deciding what to wear to work because it is so much fun now. I actually woke up early to do this the other day. When you take selfies just because you like the way you look now. I hated taking pictures of myself before. When you love clothes/shoe shopping again. Before it was depressing and something I dreaded. I'm only half way to where I think I will be. But having a BLAST!

When you ask your 9 year old twins if they want to go out back and play some soccer with Mom, and they drop their video games with a look of pure joy and race each other out the door and you actually play soccer and stay out there until it is dark without breaks and your kids tell you how proud they are of you and how much fun they had. Best. Feeling. Ever. And I am only 12 weeks in. Can't imagine what this might be like in another few months!!

I was sitting in the car yesterday and looked down. All I saw was boobs and legs, no belly. Before my belly use to sit in my lap and rub the steering wheel. No stomach in sight. I can look right over my boobs and see my crotch. I sat there for a long time really amazed.

The whole crossing your legs thing is weird. I don't remember ever crossing my legs, even when I wouldn't have been considered obese... it's the weirdest feeling in the world to me lol. Anyone else??

a very critical old friend sees you after about 3 years and says...."Wow, are you losing weight?"

When you have to wear a belt and a scarf to hide how big your old winter sweater dress really fits. Without the belt or the scarf I could not leave my house wearing that dress. It is crazy to me that 7 months ago I could no longer wear it because i looked pregnant in it. Now i have to trap it down so I dont look like I am wearing a rag. Without the belt the dress was way over my knees and the top went so low my boops were showing. Thankfully I had a nice scarf to wrap it around my kneck. I think it time to go shopping. Fof the first time in years I have to take clothes off because they are just way too big instead of too tight. Such a big change, mentally I feel so liberated. I actually tried on a size 14 pants today and a xl skirt and they fit perfectly. I could not believe what i saw in the mirror. ????????????.

I never crossed my legs really, even when I wasn't large. Now all I do is cross and un-cross my legs to the point I am annoying myself. I love it, It is comfortable and when I do it with a dress on I feel super sexy.

      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.
