Fun topic! There are so many, but we went to Fenway Park a couple of weeks ago and being able to cross my legs in that tiny little seat was amazing! In the past I felt like a big huge sausage stuffed into that tiny little seat with stuff spilling into the seats on either side of me. Not even close this time. It was a big "I know I've lost weight" moment!!!

I can't wait to fly again .. my last flight was so painful for me and the girl sitting next to me. She was trying so hard to get another seat. I remember the sad feeling I had cause of her desperation .. but then again I really didn't blame her.

Every time I bend over its an amazing feeling ...

Putting on shoes ...

Crossing my legs ...

Lifting my arms over my head and not freaking out that my belly is hanging out of my shirt

SEX!!!

Wearing skinny people clothes like North Face .. I always wanted one of those jackets and now I have 3!

Shopping at the GAP!

lol .. the list goes on and on

I fly this coming Monday for the first time since needing a seatbelt extender. Down 114 pounds since then. I could never understand how people packed for a week in a small bag but I did it lol smaller clothes = less space lol. Whodda thunk it:D

You ladies might appreciate this one - you guys not so much. I used to pee a little when I coughed, but after the doc took out my big-a$$ed stomach - no longer do I have that problem. I don't know what the deal is, but ever since surgery that has not been a problem. Oh the small things in life that bring us joy! :)

On a side note - if any of you didn't get a pic from your doc of what your stomach looked like and would like to see a pic, let me know and I can post a pic of mine. I thought it was quite interesting.

That's a great problem to have![emoji12]

      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.
