I want to be able to see my future grand babies come into my life and have a chance to roll around on the floor and play with them. :D I want my children to be proud of me again. I want my doctor to be proud of me, but most of all..... I want to be proud of me.

I want to go scuba diving (two words for you - WET SUIT!)

I want to go river rafting

I want to go up in a hot air balloon

I want to walk a half-marathon

I want to try on my wedding dress one last time, and then sell it on consignment because it's too big.

Things I'm enjoying so far:

I finally felt confident enough to join the at-work yoga class with my skinny coworkers

I'm enjoying my workouts, not dreading them

I can shop in regular stores

Life is GOOD!!

Mine will sound cheesy and shallow, but here goes:

I can't wait to take a picture with my son who is now 8 months old. So far, I've only been in a few pictures with him, shown only from the neck up. I've taken hundreds of pictures of him alone though :)

I can't wait to be able to update my Facebook picture with a RECENT picture of me, and not just my baby. LOL

I can't wait to have my SO sweat when other guys are checking me out.

I can't wait to *not* feel like getting my hair and nails done are a waste of time because I'm fat.

I can't wait to not have to worry that I will run into someone who knew me back when I was slim at the grocery store.

I can't wait to work out at the gym without worrying about feeling and looking fat.

Gosh, I can't wait to leave the house more! I've been practically hiding out in my house for the past year!

I cant wait to sit in a plastic or folding chair and not worry that it's going to break or sink deeply in to the grass and dirt.

I cant wait to stop second guessing myself about everything. This weight takes so much of my self confidence away sometimes.

I have some negatives and some positives ... I'll get the negatives out of the way first.

I can't wait for the day when I stop stressing about my fat, I want to stop pulling at my shirt trying to hide the rolls and wondering if certain clothes make me look ... fatter. I can't wait for negative thoughts about my weight to NOT be the first thing I think about when I wake up, on my mind all day and the last thing I think about when I go to bed.

Ok, the good stuff! I can't wait to have the energy to keep up with my brother and sister who are both very active and always doing fun things! I can't wait to feel good and I mean REALLY feel good! I look forward to feeling "successful" when I think about my health and weight. I can't wait to travel without worry and I really can't wait to see what's in store for me when I do loose the weight and have more energy! :)

I look forward to the possibility of not thinking about food or fat or dieting constantly. The freedom that will come from that means more to me than any of the other things that will come with it. This vicious cycle of losing and gaining has literally become torture.

      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.
