When you're away with work and forget the hotel has a spa so decide to buy a new swimsuit and go for a swim and jacuzzi, you pick up the smallest size they sell but you still struggle to find something small enough in the shop ?

When you can't understand why it's uncomfortable to sit in your usual chair and realize it is because you are now balancing on your bony butt.

When you can no longer eyeball your clothing size at the store.

When sales people in "regular sized" clothing stores actually come up to you and smile knowing you are a very potential customer.

When you rest your face on your hand and it is uncomfortable because you can feel the bones in your face now as well as your arms and shoulders. Odd feeling, but a good thing.

- When one day you suddenly realize that men are rushing to open doors for you and giving you more than a once over everywhere you go! Been a long time!

-When you fly and not only do you not need a belt extender, but you are perfectly comfortable with room to spare.

-When you are wrapping string around your rings like you did with your HS boyfriends class ring trying to buy time until you know what size you will actually be before paying to resize them!

-When you giving away all your clothes without fear because you know you will never need them again.

-When you can wear leggings and look GOOD.

-When you can go into any store and find clothes that fit (also can be a problem)

-When you are excited about shopping (again, a problem!!! :) )

-When not being able to get a King size bed at a hotel isn't a crisis anymore!

- Going to a family gathering and sitting on the floor Indian style playing with the kids and your whole extended family looks at you in shock!

- And finally, hosting a birthday party for your 10 year old boys and hearing one of the little boys say, "Dude, your Mom is HOT". Disturbing.....yes. But I am not gonna lie....I smiled a little.

When you're called someone else's name and it's a skinny person instead of one of the other big people you're usually confused with (and look nothing like, not even hair color)!

When you don't recognize yourself in the window reflection. When you have to buy a coccyx pillow - yowch!

      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.
